Call for Papers: 38th Annual Simulation Symposium

              Part of the 2005 Spring Simulation Multiconference

                         San Diego, April 2-8, 2005
                         Hilton Mission Valley Hotel


                               Sponsored by:
             The Society for Modeling and Simulation International
           (Proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society)	

The Annual Simulation Symposium is a forum for the exchange of ideas, 
techniques, and applications among practitioners of simulation in industry,
government, and academia.  This international Symposium is the oldest
continuously operating conference/symposium dedicated to simulation.

The paper sessions are designed to promote discussion of concepts, tools, 
methodologies, and results between authors and the audience. The structure
of the Symposium also provides for a degree of collegiality and continuity
in the discussions of the various topics presented during the week.

Original contribution in all areas of modeling and simulation are welcome. 
This year's Symposium is particularly seeking papers in the following topical
areas:

.   	Object-Oriented Simulation
.   	Simulation Languages, Tools, and Environments
.   	VLSI Circuit Simulators
.   	Simulation of Multiprocessor Architectures
.   	Simulation of Distributed Systems and Databases
