NOTTINGHAM- ENGLAND 9 - 11 June 2003			Society for Computer Simulation SCS-Europe European Simulation Multiconference ESM2003
					Co-hosted by United Kingdom Simulation Society UKSim

ESM'2003 is the latest in the European Simulation Multi-conference series. It is to be held in the historical city of Nottingham and will address the state of the art issues in modelling and simulation. For several years, ESM has proved to be an outstanding forum for researchers involved in developing innovative simulation systems and tools on both the research and applications fronts. The SCS European Simulation Multi-conference features an outstanding technical program ranging from introductory tutorials to software reviews to state-of-the-art research and practice. The conference will includes exhibits, business meetings for professional societies, software user groups, and a social program. All submissions will be peer reviewed by three members of the International Program Committee. Accepted papers will be published in the conference Proceedings (both print and CD), which will be copyrighted and widely disseminated. Submitted draft papers should not exceed 6 pages and must follow the normal full paper format,- submissions based on abstracts only will not be considered. Contributions to the technical program are solicited in the following general areas: Artificial Intelligence (Bai Li , Adrian Hopgood, Phil Picton, Lars Nolle, Dominic Palmer Brown) High Performance and Large-Scale Computing (Helen Karatza, Waleed Smari) Operational Research (Russell Cheng, Stewart Robinson) Complex Systems Modelling (Krysztof Amborski, Wlodzimierz Koczara) Education and Mobile Computing (John Pollard) Graphics and Visualisation (Richard Cant, Quasim Mehdi, Norman Gough) Analytical and Stochastic Modelling Techniques (Khalid Al-Begain, Gunter Bolch, Helen Karatza) Verification, Validation and Accreditation Groupworking/Methodologies/Tools (Simon Taylor) History of Simulation (Richard Zobel) Large Scale Continuous Systems Jacques LeFevere Peter Weller, Vlatka Hlupic) Environment, Biology, Ecology and Medicine (Mahdi Mahfouf) Other Activities of the conference will cover: Tutorials, Poster Sessions, Student Sessions and Partner's for Projects Sessions and Exhibition.

· Methods and Techniques for Parallel Computation (e.g., partitioning, mapping and scheduling, routing, synchronization, load balancing, …)

· Performance of Parallel and Distributed Computing Systems (experimental and comparative studies, performance models, benchmarking, instrumentation and monitoring, …)

· High Level Architecture (HLA) and Related Standards (time management, model semantics, implementation issues, …)

· High Performance and Storage Area Networks

· Parallelization of Simulation (numerical methods, Quasi-Monte-Carlo simulation, …)

· Web-based Distributed Simulation (distributed modelling via the Web, Java based, Federated, and so on)

· Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing (wireless, mobile, wearable, invisible, …)

· High Performance Mobile and Wireless Computing and Networking

· Application of Parallel and Distributed Simulation (computer systems, manufacturing systems, etc.)

Submission of Papers:

Papers reporting original and unpublished research results on above and related HPC topics are solicited. Submission should include, on the cover page, authors names, affiliations, addresses, fax and phone numbers, and email addresses. Please indicate clearly the corresponding author. Include up to 6 keywords from the above list and an abstract of no more than 300 words. Please submit an electronic copy of your full manuscript (not to exceed 15 double-spaced pages including figures, tables, and references) to track Program Chair: Waleed W. Smari, Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Dayton, 300 College Park, Dayton, OH 45469-0226, USA, Voice: (937) 229-2795, Fax: (937) 229-4529, Email: Waleed.Smari@notes.udayton.edu.

Electronic submissions will be accepted in PDF format (preferred), sent to the email above. The subject of the email must be “HPC 2003.” Consistent with standard practice, each submitted paper will receive a minimum of three reviews. Papers will be selected based on their originality, timeliness, significance, relevance, and clarity of presentation. Initial selection will be based on full papers. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper, if accepted. All accepted papers in the track are expected to be presented and will be included in the conference proceedings.
