First, be aware that some subtle differences in terminology exist
here. "Hybrid" generally refers to simulation and non-simulation
model components joined in a program (see Shantikumar and Sargent,
Operations Research, Nov-Dec 1983); while "combined" refers to
continuous and discrete event model components being joined.
A good source on the latter are the SLAM texts or the SIMAN texts
since both explicitly attempt to treat this area.

Cc: simulation@bikini.cis.ufl.edu
Be warned of one major disadvantage of changing model values (parameters)
or even structure during a simulation run: you destroy the assumptions
typically needed for steady-state parameter estimation. In this regard,
you might wish to read the paper and the session comments from the 1990
Winter Simulation Conference
Interactive Simulation: Let the User Beware!
Kenneth M. Matwiczak
Proceedings 1990 WSC, pp.453-459.
You might also gather that the term "interactive simulation" is used
to represent the capability of interest to you. That capability is
not new; it was first introduced in GPSS/Norden in the early 1970s.
The work of Hurrion in the UK served to advance the ideas and give
appreciation for the utility of model control during execution.

SECOND EUROGRAPHICS WORKSHOP
on
"ANIMATION and SIMULATION"
--
Call for contributions
--
September 1-2, 1991
Vienna, Austria
AIMS and SCOPE:
The first Eurographics workshop on Animation and Simulation held in
September 90 in Lausanne was mainly devoted to motion control
techniques. The purpose of the second worshop is to improve the
exchange of experience and knowledge between people representing the
animation and simulation communities on a more general theme:
modeling, animation control, simulation and visualization of dynamics
scenes. The selected main topics for this workshop are :
- hardware and software for animation
- motion control
- physically based modeling
- simulation of dynamic natural phenomena
- animation languages and systems
- character animation, human animation, synthetic actors
- behavioral animation
- animator interface
- flight and driving simulators
- real time animation/simulation
- graphical simulation
- motion blur and temporal antialiasing
- temporal coherence
Authors are invited to send four copies of an extended abstract (up to
6 pages) to the workshop secretariat (see below for relevant
deadlines). Abstracts submitted after the deadline will still be
considered, but will have a lower priority for inclusion in the
programme. Invitations to submit revised versions for a book (in the
Eurographics Seminar Series or the EG Technical Series) will depend on
the quality of the contributions.
IMPORTANT DATES :
May 15 : deadline for extended abstract
June 15 : notification of acceptance for the workshop
July 31 : full papers
September 1-2 : workshop
October 14 : notification of acceptance for publication
PROGRAM COMMITTEE CHAIRMEN :
D. Thalmann (CH), G. Hegron (F)
PROGRAM COMMITTEE :
N. Badler (USA), P.Willis (UK), M.Girard (NL), D. Thalmann (CH)
N. Magnenat-Thalmann (CH), B. Arnaldi (F), G. Hegron(F), A. Luciani (F)
X. Pueyo (Spain), G. Gagalowicz (F)
LOCATION AND ORGANIZATION :
The workshop will be held at Vienna (Austria) and organized by Michael
Zeiller (local arrangement chairman) of the Institut Fur
Computergraphik (Technische Universitat Wien). The lecture room is
suitable for 200 people, so passive participants will be accepted to
attend the workshop. The registration fee will be around 40 ECUs (580
AS), including two lunches and proceedings. The workshop is an
activity of the Eurographics Working Group on Animation and
Simulation.

WORKSHOP on
RAPID SYSTEM
PROTOTYPING
CO-SPONSORED BY THE
IEEE Computer Society
Design Automation Technical Committee
THE
Technical Committee on Simulation
THE
Test Technology Technical Committee
AND THE
Association of Computing Machinery SIGSIM
Theme: Shortening the Path from Specification to Prototype
Place: Sheraton Imperial Center, Research Triangle Park, North
Carolina
Date: June 11-13, 1991
Purpose of the Workshop:
The 1991 International Workshop on Rapid System Prototyping is
intended to bring together system designers, modeling and tool
developers, integrated circuit designers, and test experts to explore
synergistically problems, issues, and techniques in the area of rapid
system prototyping. Areas of special interest are system
specification, system modeling, system design, system test and
validation, and system life cycle cost. Issues concerning the
interrelations of these areas are of particular interest.
Presentations related to models that emulate systems functions in a
hierarchical sense, hardware to software mapping, model validation
techniques, and design for manufacturing that illustrate the benefits
of rapid system prototyping will be presented.
Participation in the Workshop:
Attendance at the workshop in limited to 100 persons.
