Call for Papers

The 1998 Object Oriented Simulation Conference(OOS98) of the 1998 Western Multiconference on Computer Simulation(WMC) brings together research paper presentations, panel sessions, tutorials, workshops, seminars, industrial applications, and software demonstrations that use object-oriented methods in the development of computer simulations. There will be also featured plenary speakers and several special invited presentations.

This conference will focus on object-oriented modeling techniques for time evolving systems. Theoretical principles for specific application domains will be presented. Leading industrial users of object-oriented methods in the development of computer simulations have been invited. Research papers are welcome in, but not limited to, the following categories of presentation:

Conceptual Modeling Theory and Techniques
Languages and Development Frameworks
Runtime Infrastructures
Department of Defense High Level Architecture Theory, Concepts, and Applications
Process Modeling and Engineering
Mechanical Systems and Robotics
Electrical Systems
Control Systems
Thermal and Chemical Systems
Biomechanics
Ecological Systems
Social and Economic Systems
Computers
Communication Systems

Deadlines:

July 1, 1997 - Submission of abstracts
July 15, 1997 - Notification of initial acceptance
August 15, 1997 - Draft copies due
September 15, 1997 - Final notification of acceptance
October 15, 1997 - Camera ready copies due at SCS (six 2 column pages)

Abstracts and full papers can be submitted alternatively to the General Chair or the Program Chair. In addition to regular papers (draft manuscripts about 12 pages double spaced), the program committee may accept additional papers, either as short papers (about 6 pages double-spaced), or proposals for tutorials. Please add a cover letter stating your name, affiliation, mail address, telephone number, FAX number, and EMail address. The short abstracts will be reviewed by the chairmen for general suitability to the conference. Each full paper will be reviewed by three members of the International Program Committee.
