Subject: Mac Simula Compiler
Rob Pooley made a reference to a Macintosh SIMULA compiler that is available
as public domain software. Do you know where I might find this public domain
software? Im getting ready to work on my thesis and I am trying to evaluate
what type of language I will be doing my work in. Any help you can render would
be appreciated. The reference I am refering to was in Volume17, Issue: 10.
Thankyou very Much,

Hello World,
As part of my honours year, I am writing a (fairly) simple network queueing
program for the Macintosh. It allows one to create a system of generators,
servers, branches and the like, connect and configure them, and watch
it while it runs. It's probably most useful as a tool for teaching and
displaying the basics of network simulations without getting bogged down
in a simulation language (not that I've anything against simulation languages,
they're just not point-and-click).
I would like to know if anyone out there knows of a similar package for
the Mac or PC. I have been unable to find any so far, and it would be nice
to be able to compare my program against any others.
cheers
Christian Legg

Organization: The MITRE Corporation, McLean, VA
I am looking for Airport surface simulations, for possible horizontal
integration into a full NAS simulation. I have already looked into ADSIM,
SIMMOD and ASTMS. I would like more information on TAAM and The Airport
machine. If you know of any other airport ground simulations, I would really
like to hear from you. My preferred characteristics include:
1. real time simulation
2. source code available ( or owned by the FAA)
3. graphical
4. covers all aspects of ground operations, from pushback to
takeoff/ arrival to gate.
I realize that none of the simulations I mentioned really meet my needs, and
I am interested in hearing about all ground simulations.
- if you would like a brief summary of what the available simulations in this
area are, and what they do, feel free to send me mail, and I'll send you a
copy when I am done.
Thanks much - Shaula

** CALL FOR PAPERS **
(SECOND & FINAL CALL)
Second Annual Conference on
AI, SIMULATION AND PLANNING
in High Autonomy Systems
University of Florida
(in cooperation with the University of Arizona)
Conference Theme:
INTEGRATING
QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE
KNOWLEDGE FOR COMPLEX SYSTEM AND SIMULATION MODELS
April 1-2, 1991, Cocoa Beach, Florida
Conference Description
---------------------
This annual conference is concerned with integrated methods in simulation
and planning that serve to help automate basic decision making processes
in computer systems. Current and future decision making tools will rely
heavily on the ability to reason with sophisticated models that are designed,
planned and simulated in real time. This year's conference will be held at
the beginning of the Florida AI Research Conference (FLAIRS) at the same
location.
There is a strong need to integrate the qualitative system structures
often found in expert systems, reasoning systems, logic and social science
with the quantitative knowledge found in physical science and engineering.
Qualitative structures help define high-level (i.e. decision making) control
knowledge while quantitative structures define unambiguous operations for
well known physical and engineering systems. The interplay between qualitative
and quantitative modeling is critical in the area of computer simulation
modeling where a variety of models are created to solve different problems
and provide different levels of response. Future simulation models will
require this multi-facetted approach involving model knowledge bases
containing different levels of system abstraction. This conference will
serve to bring together researchers interested in using simulation models
that have well-integrated qualitative and quantitative components.
Scope/Sample Topics
-------------------
Papers can be either conceptual or application-oriented. Some sample
topics are listed below:
* Formalisms for Unification of Qualitative/Quantitative Simulation Models.
* Simulating Engineering Designs using Multiple Levels and Models.
* Integrating Qualitative and Quantitative Reasoning about Systems.
* Abstraction in Combined Planning, Simulation and Diagnostic Systems.
* Simulation Model Engineering: From Qualitative to Quantitative Models.
* Multiple Abstraction Levels and Mappings for System Descriptions.
* Software Tools for Qualitative/Quantitative Simulation.
* Process Abstraction Networks and Hierarchies.
* Representing Uncertainty in Simulation Models.
* Decision Making Tools for Integrated Simulation Modeling.

Wanted: VHDL examples.
I am doing a thesis in parallel VHDL simulation, and want to get some
examples to run using my simulator. The simulator I have written
runs on the connection machine. If you have any VHDL examples that
you can share with me, please mail them to beverly@boulder.colorado.edu.
Thanks in advance.
