             The Vienna University of Economics and Business  Administra-
             tion was founded in 1898 as the 'Export Academy'. In 1919 it
             became  the 'College of International Commerce'.  In 1930 it
             was awarded the right to confer doctorates. The present name
             'Wirtschaftsuniversitaet Wien' was laid down in 1975 in  the
             University Organization Act.

        Deadlines and Requirements

        Extended  abstracts  (two pages typewritten without drawings  and
        tables) are due to arrive before February 10,  1987. Please indi-
        cate  to  which  of the four conferences the paper  you  like  to
        present  belongs to.

        Only original papers which have not been published elsewhere will
        be accepted.

        Authors will be expected to register early (at a reduced fee) and
        to attend the conference at their own expense to present accepted
        papers.  If you cannot present your paper at the  conference,  it
        will not be published in the Proceedings.

        Notification of acceptance or rejection will be sent by March 10.
        An  authors  kit with complete instructions on  how  to  generate
        camera-ready  copy  for  the Proceedings will be  sent  to  those
        authors of accepted abstracts.

        If you plan to give state of the art reviews or to organize panel
        discussions please contact the appropriate program chairman.

        Camera  ready  copies  of  accepted papers must be  sent  to  the
        European Office by May 1, 1987. A final review of each paper will
        take place at that time.

        For demonstrations,  exhibitions or video sessions please contact
        the European Simulation Office.

        Language

        The official conference language is English.

        Registration fees:

        The registration fee is DM 350,- for those pre-registered  before
        July  1,  1987.  Registration at the conference itself will be DM
        400,-.

        The 1987 European Simulation Multiconference will bring  together
        four individual conferences. We invite papers for presentation at
        the  conference  and  for the publication  in  each  conference's
        Proceedings.

                                AI and Simulation
                                =================

        More  and more it becomes evident that AI and simulation has  the
        same  aim:  learning  about reality by mimicry.  This  conference
        should serve both sides and bring them together.

        Papers on the following topics are especially invited:

        - Intelligent Simulation Environments
        - Qualitative reasoning
        - Knowledge bases
        - Knowledge engineering
        - Expert systems
        - Complex models
        - Applications using AI techniques

                            Discrete Event Simulation
                            =========================

        This   conference  will  provide  a  forum  for  presenting   new
        approaches to developing,  validating,  and using discrete  event
        simulation models.

        Papers on the following topics are especially invited:

        - Tools for discrete event simulation:
             o Computer languages
             o Environments
             o On-line and real time simulation
             o Graphical model description
        - Modeling
        - Validation
        - Optimization
        - Statistical methods
        - Random number generation and testing
        - Applications:
             o Computer systems
             o Communication systems
             o Transport and traffic systems
             o Environmental design
             o Education

        This list is not exhaustive.



                Simulation and Computer Integrated Manufacturing
                ================================================

        The  program will focus on the application of simulation in  Com-
        puter  Integrated Manufacturing,  CIM.  CIM covers a  very  broad
        spectrum  of different systems,  techniques,  tools,  methods and
        tasks  in  order to achieve computer integration  at  all  levels
        through a business.  Simulation techniques have an important role
        to play in the creation and operation of CIM.

        Papers on the following topics are especially invited:

        - Simulation in manufacturing, design and operation
        - Simulation in manufacturing education for industry
        - Simulation  in research and development in computer  integrated
          manufacturing and the CIM philosophy

                       Simulation and Operational Research
                       ===================================

        Simulation  is,  and has always been,  an important tool in O.R.,
        and really deserves to be the subject of a special conference.

        Papers on the following topics are especially invited:

        - Simulation packages and tools, on main frames and micros
        - Animation graphics in simulation
        - Applications in queuing theory
        - Educational applications: business games for teaching O.R.
        - Simulation and networked microprocessor architecture
        - Monte Carlo methods in mathematics
        - Micro simulation in economics
        - Statistical design and analysis of simulation

        This list is not exhaustive.
