From: "Michael J. Chinni, SMCAR-CCS-E" <mchinni@PICA.ARMY.MIL> ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS BALLISTICS SIMULATION II a standalone specialist technical conference in conjuction with the 1991 Simulation Multiconference April 1-5, 1991 New Orleans, Louisiana Sponsored by The Society for Computer Simulation [SCS] Following its successfull introduction in 1990, Ballistics Simulation II will feature several sessions dedicated to all aspects of ballistics. Technical papers, presentations and proposals for tutorials, panels, workshop and other special formats are solicited in (but not limited to) the following areas: Interior Ballistics o New Technology Gun Simulation o Gun Muffler Simulation o Effects of Worn Gun Tubes on Velocity and Pressure o Small Caliber Gun Simulation Exterior Ballistics o Flight Dynamics o Thruster effects on fin-stabilized projectiles o Effects on aircraft armaments release accuracy of near-miss anit-aircraft weapons Terminal Ballistics o Armor plate perforation/penetration o Hit probabilities on variably-shaped objects o Bullet-proof garment perforation/penetration Lethality/Survivability o Effects of projectile generated spall on vehicle weapons sub-systems o Crew Survivability Analysis o Wound Ballistics Ballistics personnel, modelers, researchers, developers, and experimentalists from industry, academia, DOD, DOE, and other government installations are invited to contribute and participate in this conference. Send three copies of original previously unpublished papers or abstracts to the address below by September 1, 1990. Notification of acceptance or rejection will be made by September 14, 1990. Author kits should be received by accepted authors by October 1, 1990. Responsibility for all clearances associated with full papers - which will be published in the conference proceedings - rests with the author. To allow time for such clearances, the due date for camera-ready copy is January 2, 1991. Submit papers, abstracts, presentations and proposals for tutorials, panels, workshops and other special formats to: Michael J. Chinni Chair, Ballistics Simulation II 12 Windbeam Rd. Riverdale, NJ 07457 Include full names, affiliations, addresses and phone numbers (office and home) for each participant. Attach, or copy business cards if available. Indicate on the page that this is for the 1991 Simulation Multiconference - Ballistics Simulation II. Participants are expected to register early, at a reduced rate and to attend the conference at their own expense. Anyone wishing further information can contact Mr. Chinni at the above address or at: (201)724-4140/(DSN)880-4140 <mchinni@pica.army.mil>
