Welcome to PADS 2012 !

Zhangjiajie, China -- July 15-19, 2012

The PADS workshop is soliciting papers in all aspects of simulation technology, expanding the traditional focus on parallel and distributed simulation methods and applications. Specifically, the steering and program committees look forward to high-quality paper submissions in the following areas:

• The construction of simulation engines using advanced computer science technology.
• Techniques for constructing scalable simulations.
• Advanced modeling techniques that allow solution of previously difficult or impossible problem domains.
• Simulation visualization techniques.
• Algorithms and methods for parallel or distributed simulation, including synchronization, scheduling, memory management, and load balancing.
• Applications of large-scale or distributed simulation methods.
• Distributed interactive simulation and distributed virtual environments.
• Tools and techniques for interoperability of simulations.
• Integration of simulation with other IT systems, including automatic simulation model generation and initialization and simulation based decision making.
• Online and symbiotic simulation.
• Simulation as emulation of real systems.
• Mechanisms for efficient design of experiments.
• GPU, FPGA and hybrid architecture acceleration.
• Parallel algorithms and high performance simulation.
• Agent-based modeling and simulation.

Selected papers from PADS 2012 will be considered for extension and publication within a Special Issue of Journal of Simulation.
