	Hi netters,

		I am currently undertaking a Masters in Computer Science.
		The topic is along these lines 'Dynamic simulation for
		animation'.  Unfortunately I am not a physicist and have
		trouble working out the dynamic equations for articulated
		objects.  Any hints for good references on the subject
		would be greatly appreciated.  (You will, of course, get a
		mention in my acknowledgements)

		Many thanks,

		Richard

I am preparing a third year Computer Science course on simulation and would
appreciate hearing from others about the text they use, or would suggest.
It is a 3-month introductory course with an emphasis on discrete event
simulation, and will be using Simscript. Thanks.

Subject:  Output analysis

As far as I know, the output analysis methods that are used in most simulation
packages are quite trivial and they can not handle complicated issues like
steady-state performance measures and the elimination of autocorrelation in
the output series. Does anyone know whether any simulation package contains
advanced output analysis methods like the regenerative analysis.

Tool Exhibition - Tuesday June 24-25

As a new activity of the tool exhibition the following 
scheduled tool presentations and demonstrations will take 
place. Conference participants who are interested in tools 
should thus try to arrive Monday evening, instead of 
Tuesday evening:

Institute of Cybernetics and Information Processes
Diogenes

Eindhoven University of Technology
ExSpect

University of Dortmund
PetriLab

Meta Software
Design/CPN

University of Torino
GreatSPN

University Pierre & Marie Curie
AMI

In addition to the presentations listed above, the tool 
exhibition will be open through-out the tutorial and the 
conference. This means that it will be possible to arrange 
demonstrations for small groups and individual 
participants.

It is still possible to register tools for the tool 
exhibition - but not for the scheduled 
presentations/demonstrations. Interested tool developers 
should contact the organizing committee as soon as 
possible. This is also the case for groups who want to 
arrange Petri net meetings and courses during the tutorial 
and conference. Such meetings and courses can take place 
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday evening, and Thursday evening.

History of the Conference

The conference was formerly called the European Workshop on 
Applications and Theory of Petri Nets and the meetings have 
taken place annually since 1980:

1980	Strasbourg, France
1981	Bad Honnef, Germany
1982	Varenna, Italy
1983	Toulouse, France
1984	Aarhus, Denmark
1985	Espoo, Finland
1986	Oxford, UK
1987	Zaragoza, Spain
1988	Venice, Italy
1989	Bonn, Germany
1990	Paris, France
1991	Aarhus, Denmark

The aim of the conference is to create a forum for 
discussing progress in the application and theory of Petri 
nets. Typically, the conference has 150-200 participants - 
one third of these coming from industry while the rest are 
from universities and research institutions. The conference 
takes place in the last week of June.

 ----------------------------------------------------------

Conference Site

The tutorial and the conference will take place at a 
"Conference and Leisure Centre" (hereafter called the 
Conference Hotel) near the small village of Gjern - 
situated 30 km northwest of Aarhus:

Petri Net Conference
Sohojlandet / Conference and Leisure Centre
Lille Amerika 10
DK-8883 Gjern
Denmark

Phone:    +45 86 87 51 00
Telefax:  +45 86 87 51 33

E-mails can be sent to the participants via: 
icpn@daimi.aau.dk. Letters, telefaxes and e-mails should be 
clearly marked with the name of the receiver. It will be 
possible to send letters, telefaxes and e-mails from the 
Conference Hotel.

The Conference Hotel is situated in one of the most 
beautiful Danish sceneries, and it has facilities for many 
different kinds of sport and recreational activities - e.g. 
swimming, tennis, squash, bowling, walking, running, 
fishing, aerobics and mountain biking. Most of the 
activities are free of charge for people staying at the 
Conference Hotel. Horses can be rented at a nearby farm. 
The Conference Hotel is situated a few kilometres outside 
the small village of Gjern (which has an Automobile Museum 
and a few shops). Moreover, the Conference Hotel is 
situated approximately 15 km from the city of Silkeborg 
(which has all different kinds of shopping facilities).

 ----------------------------------------------------------

Registration

Registration of participants and reservations for rooms & 
meals should be made using the enclosed registration forms 
and sent to the address above (via mail or telefax). 
Registration will made on a first come, first served basis. 
Early registration is recommended since the number of 
participants is limited by the size of the Conference 
Hotel. Surcharge for registration or payment after MAY 20 
is 200 DK KR.

Confirmation will be sent to the participants after receipt 
of the registration forms and payment.

Some grants are available for students and for researchers 
with limited funds. The grants will not cover 
transportation, accommodation or food - but only exemption 
from conference and tutorial fees. Persons applying for a 
grant must send a letter of explanation to the organizing 
committee. Students should include a recommendation from 
their scientific supervisor.

 ----------------------------------------------------------

Registration fees

The fee for members of ACM, AFCET, AICA, BCS, EATCS, GI or 
IEEE is 1050 DK KR for the conference and 700 DK KR for the 
tutorial. Non-members pay 1250

DK KR for the conference and 900 DK KR for the tutorial. 
The current exchange rates (March 1991) are: 100 DK KR = 26 
DM = 17 US $. The fee includes proceedings and other 
conference material. It also covers part of the conference 
dinner (the rest is covered via the full board provided by 
the Conference Hotel, see below). Please notice that there 
will be no reduction in the conference fee for non-
participation in the conference dinner.

For participants who do not have full board at the 
Conference Hotel (see below) there will be an additional 
fee of 200 DK KR for the tutorial and 450 DK KR for the 
conference. This additional fee covers lunches, 
refreshments during the session breaks and the conference 
dinner.

The fee can be paid by international money transfer or 
cheque, payable to:

	Den Danske Bank
	Langelandsgade 177
	DK-8200 Aarhus N
	Denmark
	Att: Petri Net Conference 1991
	Bank no: 4809
	Account no: 4809 099 474

The fee can also be paid by postal cheque (giro):

	Petri Net Conference 1991
	Computer Science Department, Aarhus University
	Ny Munkegade, Building 540
	DK-8000 Aarhus C
	Denmark
	Account no: 797 1842

In both cases payment should be made in Danish Kroner and 
all transfer expenses should be covered by the registering 
participant. Unfortunately fees cannot be paid by means of 
credit cards. Payment will be refunded if a cancellation 
letter is received before June 10. After June 10 no refunds 
will be given.

 ----------------------------------------------------------

Accommodation

All participants will be accommodated at the Conference 
Hotel. The cost of accommodation is as follows:

Single room:	375 DK KR	per day
Double room:	560 DK KR	per day (per room)

Each room contains a double bed and has a private bath 
room. The quality corresponds to a hotel room of 
medium/high standard. Moreover, each room belongs to an 
apartment - containing a large living room and a kitchen. 
Most apartments contain two rooms, while a few apartments 
only contain one room.

For families and larger groups (e.g. students) it is 
possible to accommodate up to 6 people in a large apartment 
with two rooms, and up to 4 people in a small apartment
with one room. This means that two persons must sleep in 
the living room (on two sofa beds) while the bedroom(s) 
must be used as double room(s). Such an arrangement can be 
made for an extra cost of 20 DK KR per person sleeping in 
the living room. This means that the cost is as follows:

6 people  Large apartment      2 * 560 + 2 * 20 = 1160 
                               DK KR per day
5 people  Large apartment      2 * 560 + 1 * 20 = 1140 
                               DK KR per day
4 people  Large apartment      2 * 560 + 0 * 20 = 1120 
                               DK KR per day
4 people  Small apartment      1 * 560 + 2 * 20 =  600 
                               DK KR per day
3 people  Small apartment      1 * 560 + 1 * 20 =  580 
                               DK KR per day

All the above rates are only available on the condition 
that all the persons have full board at the Conference 
Hotel. The full board includes breakfast, lunch, dinner and 
two daily refreshments during the session breaks. The cost 
of the full board is 280 DK KR per day (per person).

Earliest time of arrival is Saturday June 22 (the rooms 
will be available from 15.00). Latest time of departure is 
Saturday June 29 (the rooms must be vacated before 10.00). 
The accommodation and board are paid directly to the 
Conference Hotel upon departure. Cash, Eurocheques and the 
following credit cards are accepted: American Express, 
Visa, Eurocard and Diners.

If you have wishes/demands (earlier arrival, later 
departure, special rates for small children, etc.) which do 
not comply with the description above, you should contact 
the Conference Hotel directly for clarification and further 
information. This is also the case if you want to stay at 
the Conference Hotel without having full board.

 ----------------------------------------------------------

Transportation

Participants travelling by air should arrive at Karup 
airport - which can be reached by domestic flights from 
Copenhagen, approximately 5-8 times a day. From Karup 
airport the Conference Hotel can be reached by special 
airport buses - leaving outside the terminal shortly after 
each flight arrival. The buses are marked Visti's Biler and 
will carry the conference logo. The price of the journey 
will be 50-100 DK KR (one way), depending upon the number 
of passengers. We recommend that you make bus reservations 
by indicating the expected arrival time on the registration 
form.

A few international flights go to Billund and 
Tirstrup/Aarhus. From these two airports it is, however, 
considerably more difficult and time-consuming to reach 
Gjern. From Billund take the airport taxi to Vejle, and 
then the train to Silkeborg. From Tirstrup/Aarhus take the 
airport bus to Aarhus, and then train/bus to Silkeborg. In 
both cases proceed from Silkeborg as described below.

Participants arriving by train should go to Silkeborg. From 
there the Conference Hotel can be reached by Taxi 
(approximately 15 km) or by bus (leaving each hour or each 
second hour; it should be noted that there are no buses 
Saturday evening).

Excursion on Saturday

The buses will leave the Conference Hotel at 10.00 (which 
is the latest check-out time). First we go to Silkeborg to 
visit the Asger Jorn Museum (named after a famous modern 
Danish painter). From Silkeborg the world's oldest paddle 
steamer, the Hjejlen, will take us across the lakes to the 
foot of one of Denmark's highest and most beautiful 
"mountains", Himmelbjerget (literal translation: The Sky 
Mountain - 147 m high!). A picnic lunch will be served on 
board the boat. We'll "climb" the mountain and have 
coffee/tea in one of the restaurants at the top. By the 
buses the participants will return either to the Conference 
Hotel, Karup Airport or Aarhus. All three destinations will 
be reached before 16.30. The excursion fee is 200 DK KR per 
person, and this covers buses, boat, museum-visit, lunch 
and coffee/tea.

Workshop of the Demon project

A workshop is being organized by the Demon project, Monday 
June 24 and Tuesday June 25. The workshop will take place 
at the Conference Hotel, and it is open to all conference

Otherwise it will be more fruitful to follow the Petri Nets 
tutorial. The workshop will consider the following topics: 
Equivalence and refinement. Programming, design and 
verification. Algebraic and high-level nets. Free choice 
theory. Trace theory and event structures.
