We are currently seeking A) abstracts and B) suggestions for chaired
sessions for the track: Methodology and Concepts ---as part of the
upcoming Eastern Multi-Conference sponsored by the Society for
Computer Simulation. The group "Methodology and Concepts" focuses
on the conceptual foundations for simulation and system modeling
and relationships to AI concepts and theory. Topics include
(but are not limited to):

 1. Qualitative Methods in Simulation Modeling
 2. Integrating System Structure and Function
 3. Model Evolution and Engineering
 4. Analogy in System Models
 5. Natural Language Interfaces and Models for Systems
 6. Theory of Simulation Modeling and Analysis
 7. Causal Graph and Logic-Based Modeling for Dynamical Systems
 8. Knowledge-Based Approaches to Simulation
 9. Neural Network Modeling in Simulation
 10. Expert Systems Approaches to Simulation

Note the following deadlines: Abstracts to be sent by November 30th to:
