Dear Collegue, Planning is now underway for the 1990 Eastern Multi-Conference (EMC) on Computer Simulation sponsered by the Society for Computer Simulation, International (SCS). The 1990 EMC will be held April 23-27 in Nashville, Tennessee. As chairman of the conference on Ballistics Simulation I am soliciting ideas, suggestions, and contributions for group leaders, panels, and papers. I would like to invite you to present a paper or to participate as a group leader, a session leader, or a session discussant. The 1990 EMC promises to be one of the best yet. The subject material runs the gamut of industrial, commercial, and government interests. As Ballistic Simulation Conference chairman I urge you to participate. I am interested in your ideas, your interests, and your active participation in what has come to be a premier event. Please, consider presenting a paper or participating as a group leader, a session leader, or a session discussant and if you have some good ideas, send them to me. Enclosed is an overview of the subject areas that I am looking for participation in. If you are interested in any of these areas, please consider actively participating in the conference. If you have any other areas that you would like to sponser, please send me a session proposal. If you know of others that may be interested in serving as a group leader, a session leader, or a session discussant, please pass this letter and enclosure on and let me know of their potential interest. Thank you again for your kind consideration. Sincerly, Michael J. Chinni Chair, Ballistics Simulation Conference for 1990 EMC CONFERENCE ON BALLISTICS SIMULATION All papers will deal with software technology for ballistics simulation. Papers and proposals for tutorials, panels, workshops and other special formats are solicited in all areas of ballistics simulation. Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Interior Ballistics - Small armaments - Artillery - Tank weapons - Naval weapons - Aircraft and Helicopter weapons - Exterior Ballistics - Vacuum Trajectory - Simple Air Trajectory - Six degree of freedom trajectory - design for flight - finners and spinners - Terminal Ballistics - Kinetic energy penetration - Simulation of impact - Energetic materials - Shaped charges - Jet penetration - Fragmentation Other topics include: - Propulsion Dynamics - Launch Dynamics - Flight Dynamics - Warhead Mechanisms - Body Armor as related to Wound Ballistics - Weapon Identification - Gunnery Training Requirements and Deadlines Send your abstracts and/or session proposals on one side of a single 8.5" x 11" page to: Michael J. Chinni c/o 1990 Eastern Multiconference, SCS, P.O. Box 17900, San Diego, CA 92117, by AUGUST 31, 1989. Proposals received after that date will be considered as long as time and program space permit. Include full names, affiliations, addresses and phone numbers (office and home) for each author or participant. Attach, or copy business cards if available. Each abstract must include the title of the proposed paper with a short summary so that it may be properly positioned in the conference. Indicate on the page that the proposal and/or abstract is for the 1990 EMC - Conference on Ballistics Simulation Notification of acceptance or rejection will be sent on or about OCTOBER 20, 1989. For accepted papers an author's kit with complete instructions for manuscript preparation is included. Participants receive instructions regarding conference attendance. Camera-ready copy of accepted papers and all other materials to be included in Conference Proceedings must be received at the SCS office by DECEMBER 15, 1989. Only papers which have NOT been previously published or presented should be submitted. Authors must obtain employer, client, or government releases prior to submittal of the final manuscript. Authors and other participants are expected to register early, at a reduced rate and to attend the Conference at their own expense to present accepted papers.
