GENERAL:

There has not been a news group on the topic of simulation, so I have
decided to start one. Actually, it is a mailing list and if it grows
into a popular forum then we can formally apply to have it made a
news "group" (which apparently requires votes,etc.).

TOPICS:

All topics connected with simulation are welcome (no flaming please!).
Some sample topics are listed:

 real time simulation methods
 flight simulation
 parallel architectures for simulation analysis and modeling
 simulation and training
 distributed simulation
 artificial intelligence and simulation
 automatic generation and analysis of models
 analog vs. digital methods, hybrids
 continuous, discrete, and combined methods
 qualitative modeling
 application specific questions
 theory of simulation and systems
 queries and comments about available simulation software
 announcements of simulation-related talks and seminars
 graphics and image processing in simulation

HOW TO JOIN:

To participate in the mailing list you need to know two net addresses:

   simulation@fish.cis.ufl.edu         - for sending topical mail messages
   simulation-request@fish.cis.ufl.edu - for subscribing/unsubscribing
                                         to the list (administration)

METHOD:

At first, we will operate on an automatic mode (unedited list): All
mail sent to 'simulation' will be forwarded automatically to everyone
else on the list. My SUN is strictly acting as a mail handler. As
interesting topics come up and more people chip in, then I will try
my hand at moderating the list to form a digest which will be shipped
periodically. I'm sure that most net readers subscribe to both kinds
of these mailing lists already. So let's go!
