Reid) Distribution: world Organization: Dept. of Computer Science, Michigan State University Keywords: event-driven, discrete simulation Do you have any references to Demand Driven simulation? I believe this scheme delays evaluation of any process simulation until it's outputs are Needed to allow simulation time to advance. This is in contrast to evaluating processes that have received changes in their inputs regardless of whether their outputs are currently (or next) in demand. Thanks. R.

The conference will focus particularly on simulation models in order to help characterize and compare various organizational principles or architectures capable of inducing adaptive behavior in real or artificial animals. Contact among scientists from diverse disciplines should contribute to better appreciation of each other's approaches and vocabularies, to cross-fertilization of fundamental and applied research, and to defining objectives, constraints, and challenges for future work. Contributions treating any of the following topics from the perspective of adaptive behavior will receive special emphasis. Individual and collective behaviors Autonomous robots Action selection and behavioral Hierarchical and parallel organizations sequences Self organization of behavioral Conditioning, learning and induction modules Neural correlates of behavior Problem solving and planning Perception and motor control Goal directed behavior Motivation and emotion Neural networks and classifier Behavioral ontogeny systems Cognitive maps and internal Emergent structures and behaviors world models Authors are requested to send two copies (hard copy only) of a full paper to each of the Conference chairmen: Jean-Arcady MEYER Stewart WILSON Groupe de Bioinformatique The Rowland Institute for Science URA686.Ecole Normale Superieure 100 Cambridge Parkway 46 rue d'Ulm Cambridge, MA 02142 75230 Paris Cedex 05 USA France e-mail: meyer%FRULM63.bitnet@ e-mail: wilson@think.com cunyvm.cuny.edu A brief preliminary letter to one chairman indicating the intention to participate--with the tentative title of the intended paper and a list of the topics addressed--would be appreciated for planning purposes.
