Sunday, July 16, 2000 The annual meeting for those interested in the Performance & Evaluation of Computers and Telecommunication Systems. Agenda for this meeting includes establishing leadership for the chapter and planning the continued excellence of the SPECTS conference series. Those who are unable to attend but are interested in the activities should e-mail Dr. Mohammad Obaidat, founder of the PECTS organization at obaidat@monmouth.edu. ACSL USER GROUP MEETING AEgis Research Corporation will hold its annual North American ACSL User Group Meeting at the Summer Computer Simulation Conference. Highlights of this session include an overview of current ACSL product status, future plans for ACSL, user presentations and questions/ answers. For more information on ACSL, visit www.ACSLsim.com. Join your fellow SCSC/SPECTS 2000 attendees for a dinner with panoramic views of Vancouver's splendor from aboard a luxury yacht. Cruise Vancouver's harbor and spectacular waterfront estates, leaving from the conference hotel following the completion of last sessions Tuesday. Sign up on Registration Form. The Theme of the working group conference will be "Evolving Simulation Technologies Outside of the US Military." AMC membership will meet Sunday evening and Thursday morning. SISO STUDY GROUP ON THE ECONOMICS OF SIMULATION The Simulation Interoperability and Standards Organization study group on the economics of simulation will meet to pursue its activities in (1) Establishing lexicon to simulation economics, (2) Gathering data on cost and value of simulation, (3) Building a business case template for simulation, and establishing one or more models of the simulation industry market. E.T. OF M&S TOOLS The full title of this paper is actually "European Tales of Modelling and Simulation Tools." The link with the "Extra Terrestrial" is relevant because, for many years, Europeans and their ideas in this field most often appeared to come from outer space to their colleagues in North America. The Europeans' measurable difference in approach to modelling and simulation was largely caused by particular differences in historical and scientific perspective. Also the funding of developments, the nature of the simulation market and – last but not least – the perceived relative importance of sound theoretical foundations versus methodologies based on practical experience contributed to this gap in appreciation. The sequel will endeavor to delve into the details of these original differences, highlight successes and failures and will, finally, attempt to give the reasons why, in the past decade, both worlds have become so close-knit that any differences remaining are hardly discernible. |
