The   Advanced  Simulation   Technologies   Conference   (ASTC)  is   an
annual  conference  sponsored by  the  Society  for Computer  Simulation
International  which covers  state-of-the-art  developments in  computer
simulation  technologies,   as  well  as  scientific,   industrial,  and
business applications. Areas  covered include high-performance computing
technologies,  models and  algorithms,  GUI visualization  technologies,
communications and  much more.  Application disciplines  covered include
advanced  telecommunication; computer  systems;  military, government  &
aerospace; infrastructure protection & emergency management, energy, and
other  industries. The  conference includes  keynote speeches  presented
by  technology and  industry leaders,  technical sessions,  professional
development  courses   and  seminars,   as  well  as   vendor  exhibits.
Scientists, engineers,  managers, educators, and  business professionals
who  develop or  use simulation  tools  are invited  to participate  and
present original papers.
  

  
CONFERENCES
    
- Business and Industry Symposium 
- High Performance Computing Symposium 
- Military, Government, and Aerospace Simulation Symposium 
- 34th Annual Simulation Symposium

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SEMINARS

One day  is reserved  for technical seminars  sponsored by  The Society,
offered, for additional fees, as  a service to the simulation community.
These seminars,  prepared and presented by  experienced experts, provide
tutorial  and  advanced material  compatible  with  the content  of  the
Advanced Simulation Technologies Conference.

EXHIBITS


The  Advanced  Simulation  Technologies  Conference  provides  Corporate
Members  and other  vendors, offering  products and  services compatible
with  the technical  program, a  low-cost  opportunity to  display on  a
tabletop or with free-standing  equipment. The program provides specific
time blocks  designed to enhance  vendor contact with attendees  who are
eager to learn about new products for simulations and simulators.



 
REQUIREMENTS

Proposals  are  solicited  for  papers,  panels,  tutorials,  workshops,
seminars,  exhibits,  social  activities  and  for  other  presentation,
discussion and  sponsorship formats. Good  people are always  welcome to
benefit  by taking  an organizing  role. The  ASTC offers  many ways  to
promote simulation  products and  to enhance  corporate images.  You are
invited to use  the Advanced Simulation Technologies  Conference in ways
that best serve your interests.

Please  send a  paper  abstract or  other  proposal, on  one  side of  a
single 8  1/2" x  11" page to:  Chair, Advanced  Simulation Technologies
Conference, c/o  SCS, P.O. Box 17900,  San Diego, CA, 92177,  by October
31, 2000. Proposals received after this  date will be considered as long
as  time and  program space  permit. Include  full names,  affiliations,
addresses,  and phone  numbers  (office  and home)  for  each author  or
participant. Attach, or copy, business cards if available. Each abstract
must include the  title of the proposed paper, with  a short summary, so
that it  may be properly  positioned in the  ASTC. Indicate on  the page
that  the  proposal is  for  the  2001  ASTC  and please  suggest  which
Conference, track,  group, and  session is  most appropriate,  first and
second choices.

Notifications of acceptance  or rejection are sent on  or about November
30,  2000. Acceptances  include  either an  author's  kit with  complete
instructions  for manuscript  preparation, or  a participant's  kit with
instructions regarding conference attendance.

Camera-ready  copy of  accepted  papers  and all  other  material to  be
included in Conference Proceedings must be received at the SCS office by
January 11, 2001. Only papers that have not been previously published or
presented should be submitted. Authors  must obtain employer, client, or
government releases prior to submittal of the final manuscript.

Authors and  other participants are  expected to register early,  and to
participate at their own expense.
