We, Alexander Verbraeck and Folkert Wierda, have been asked to organize and chair one or more sessions at the forthcoming Summer Computer Simulation Conference, to be held in Calgary, July 16 - 18, 1990. The group which these sessions will be parts of is titled 'Advanced Information Processing & Simulation', and is chaired by Dr. Eugene Kerckhoffs. We have chosen to center our sessions around the topic 'Simulation and Information Systems'. We would like to discuss the use of simulation and modelling in problem solving (DSS, ES, design of information systems, etc.). We try to have theoretical papers, as well as technical papers on 'modelling environments', and at least one contribution on experiences with or research on the use of simulation and modelling in problem solving. If you are working in the field described above, we would appreciate you submitting a paper for one of these sessions, and presenting it at the conference in Calgary. Please contact us as soon as possible on your decision to participate in our session or not, so we can proceed with the preparations. If you would like to participate in the session, but are not able to present a paper, please let us know if you would be prepared to act as a moderator or discusser. If you are to submit a paper for our sessions on 'Simulation and Information Systems', please note the following (tight) time schedule: - October 20: Last date to send us your notification of acceptance and working title of your paper. - November 10: Abstract should be present at Delft University of Technology. This abstract should contain the title, the author's name and addresses (work and private) phone numbers (work, secretary and private), E-mail numbers, Fax numbers, and an abstract of your paper of approximately 300 words. After receiving and refereeing the paper, we'll send a notification of acceptance and an author kit. - February 15: Full camera-ready paper should be present at Delft University of Technology. This paper should NOT exceed the length of 6 pages. If it does anyway, $75 per extra page will be charged by the organization in order to keep the costs of the proceedings limited. If you have any questions concerning this request, or concerning the conference, please contact us AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. We look forward to having you in our sessions. Sincerely, Folkert W.

Elmaghraby) Organization: University of Louisville Subject: SIMULATION DIGEST /History of simulation To: SIMULATION@bikini.cis.ufl.edu X-Original-To: SIMULATION@UFLORIDA.CIS.UFL.EDU I remember someone was asking about HISTORY of SIMULATION so I am posting a reference to a 1966 article on that very same topic, the author is professor V. C. Rideout (currentle emiretus) from University of Wisconsin - Madison and he was my dissertation advisor. " Continuous System Simulation - Present Programs and Future Possibilities", by V.C. Rideout, from the Proceedings of IBM Scientific Computing Symposium on Digital Simulation of Continuous Systems, held on June 20-22 1966, at the Thomas J. Watson Research Center, Yorktown Heights, N. Y. The paper refers to early efforts such as DDA MADBLOC, FORBLOC, and MIDAS - Rideout refers to "digital" simulation then as a "young man's game", I know he currently uses ACSL on a PC and he is still "young". If any body is interested please send me your mail address for a copy. A. S.

Can anyone cite any references particular to this subject area? Thanks in advance, Ray Gordon, Please E-mail directly to: University College of Swansea, eegordon@pyr.swan.ac.uk Swansea, UK. ------------------------------ END OF SIMULATION DIGEST ************************
