An IEW consists of a microcomputer interfaced to data acquisition, test and control instrumentation. Through experimental hands-on experiences in laboratory sessions, the participants will also develop an experiment and course materials for their own laboratory. Two similar one week sessions will be offered on: July 7-12, 1991 July 14-19, 1991 at: Bucknell University Electrical Engineering Department Lewisburg, PA, 17837 (717)-524-1234 PARTICIPANT SUPPORT: The workshop is sponsored by the National Science Foundation and Bucknell University. There are no registration fees or tuition expenses for this workshop. Housing will be in air-conditioned residential areas on Bucknell's picturesque campus. Housing and meals in our cafeteria will be covered by the National Science Foundation. Participants are responsible for their travel and other indidental expenses. PARTICIPANT SELECTION: The selection process will rely heavily on nominations by department heads or chairs of the participant's home institution. The workshop is intended for teachers of science and engineering in the US who are committed to undergraduate education and who have not yet had extensive exposure to integrated engineering workstations. The participants will develop an experiment and class material for implementation at their home institutions. We will sustain the development of these experiments by providing information through an electronic mail network. (Reached at mastascu@bucknell.edu) The participants selected are required to submit a project proposal outlining the work to be undertaken after the workshop. We will be pleased to help participants formulate their proposals. WORKSHOP OUTLINE: We will begin with fundamental computer concepts, proceed to workstation and instrumentation concepts, and conclude with applications. Ample time will be provided for planning and construction of the participants' projects. Our IEW's include personal computers with data acquisition and control instruments, including Hewlett Packard control computers, IBM PC's, IEEE-488 instrumentation and a lab with an ethernet network of computers using IEEE-488 instruments for distributed data acquisition and control.

I will appreciate any information/help I can get. Thank you very much in advance. I am looking for a software package to measure the performance of distributed discrete-event simulation algorithms. I want the package to allow me to do following things. (1) Allow to model multiple channels (input and output) for each logical process. (2) Allow to define a varible processing time for events at each logical process. (3) Allow to model multiple logical processes per server (or node in the distributed system). (4) Allow multiple servers. (5) Allow to define some relationship between events at each logical process. Depending upon this relationship, allow conditional simulation of events. This means that some events on some input of a logical process can be simulated only if some condition is satisfied for the events on the other inputs of the logical process. If anybody has any knowledge of a package which I can use/get, please send me an email at nimish@cat.syr.edu. Thank you. --nimish radia ------------------------------ To: comp-simulation@uunet.UU.NET Path: pdxgate!eecs.cs.pdx.edu!jayward From: jayward@eecs.cs.pdx.edu (Jay Ward) Newsgroups: comp.simulation Subject: rec.sport.basketball Date: 25 Mar 91 01:43:37 GMT Sender: pdxgate!news@uunet.UU.NET Reply-To: jayward@eecs.cs.pdx.edu (Jay Ward) Organization: Portland State University, Portland, OR I am looking for some information/references on sports simulations.

Problems associated with testing of digital logic have been with us for as long as digital logic itself has existed." [Alexander Miczo, Digital Logic and Simulation, 1986] During the last 25 years, an immense number of techniques, methods and algorithms to guarantee the proper testing of electronic devices have been introduced. Testing is an important subject to many major international conferences (e.g. ITC, ETC, DAC, EDAC, ICCD, ICCAD, FTCS, ISCAS) and journals (e.g. JETTA, IEEE Trans. on CAD, IEEE Trans. on Comp.). Thus, testing is an area of highest relevance to many CAD researchers and professionals. This newsgroup is intended to cover all aspects of the testing of electronic circuits such as (but not restricted to) * Testing of Digital and Analog Devices * Automatic Test Pattern Generation * Fault Modeling and Fault Simulation * Design for Testability * Scan Design and Built-in Self Test * PCB-Test and Boundary Scan * Design Verification Important topics are * Announcements (conferences, workshops, special issues) * Books on testing * Standards * Tools * Benchmarks * Questions and answers * Discussions concerning technical or algorithmic problems WHY A NEW GROUP: The ever increasing number of publications on testing shows a vivid and growing interest in that subject. A newsgroup on testing will stimulate and accelerate the exchange of related information among interested network users. It makes it easier to recognize current trends in testing, especially for novices. We believe that there will be enough traffic in the new group to justify its creation. SCHEDULE: 1. DISCUSSION The discussion period begins on monday, march 25. It ends on tuesday, april 23. (possibly continued by email) 2. VOTE If the discussion is successful, we will send the call for votes on monday, april 29. This posting will contain all necessary information how to vote. The rest of the procedure will follow the rules to create new groups (see news.announce.newusers for details). Please respect that the follow-up of a CALL FOR DISUSSION is news.groups. Send your opinions to this call - otherwise there will be no comp.lsi.cat. All comments are welcome.
