1989 WINTER SIMULATION CONFERENCE The 1989 Winter Simulation Conference will be held on December 4 - 6, 1989 at the Capital Hilton Hotel in Washington, D.C. The conference will feature tutorials, papers on applications and methodology, panel discussions, state-of-the-art reviews, software tutorials and demonstrations, and vendor exhibits of simulation products. Discrete-event simulation, which is the focus of the conference, is used to model manufacturing, transportation, distribution, computer, communication, military, health care, and many other types of systems. WSC typically includes papers in all of these areas, with special emphasis on manufacturing systems. Papers on methodology present current research in modeling, design, analysis, and execution of simulation experiments. A special feature of WSC is an extensive schedule of tutorials on simulation methodology and software presented by leading researchers and software developers. There are tutorials targeted for audiences with no previous background in simulation, for simulation users who want to increase their knowledge of simulation, and for researchers who want to learn about advanced and emerging topics. The software tutorials are backed up by an extensive vendor exhibits area for demonstrations and further discussion. For additional information contact General Chair Kenneth J. Musselman, Pritsker Corporation, 1305 Cumberland Avenue, P.O. Box 2415, West Lafayette, IN 47906, (317) 463-5557. For registration information contact Registration Chair William R.
