Fifth United Kingdom Simulation Society Conference

UKSim 2001

Emmanuel College, Cambridge, England.

28th-30th March 2001

Papers are invited on any aspect of simulation to be presented at a three day event to be held in Cambridge, England. The conference venue is Emmanuel College, Cambridge, which was founded by Sir Walter Mildmay in 1584 on the site of a former priory of the Dominican Order, also known as the Black Friars or Preachers. The accommodation, renowned catering and conference facilities are an ideal blend of modern and historic. The venue offers an especially attractive opportunity for both professional discussion and socialising.

Abstracts (two pages of A4 without figures) are invited on any aspect of simulation and its applications. The following are suggested topics, but other topics are also welcome; Simulation methodology and practice, languages, tools and techniques. Models and modelling tools. Data/object bases. Analysis and statistica1 tools. Simulators and simulation hardware, training simulators. Integration of simulation with concurrent engineering, integrated design and simulation systems. AI in simulation, philosophical issues, analogies, metaphors, knowledge modelling, acquisition and synthesis of new knowledge/models, intelligent/adaptive behaviour Parallel and distributed simulation. Artificial neural networks.

Simulation applications include: aerospace; electronic circuits and systems; computer networks; business; management; finance; economics; leisure, games, war/conflict/rebellion modelling; humanities, literature, semantics modelling/dynamics; biology; medicine; public health; manufacturing; planning; control; robotics; measurement; monitoring; energy; safety critica1 systems; transportation; oil and gas; education and training; military. There will be an Exhibitions area.

Accepted papers will be published in the Proceedings of the Conference.

Although a national event, presenters and participants from any country are also welcome, especially EUROSIM member countries.
