*******************************************************************
* CALL FOR PAPERS FOR *
* ACM TRANSACTIONS ON MODELING AND COMPUTER SIMULATION (TOMACS) *
*******************************************************************
PURPOSE AND SCOPE: Papers are solicited for TOMACS, an ACM quarterly treating
all aspects of computer simulation and the modeling of complex systems that
are studied through simulation techniques. The goal of the Editorial Board
is that TOMACS shall be the archival journal for research in discrete event
simulation, which is the topical emphasis. Distinctive application papers
and outstanding reviews or tutorials are appropriate within the research
focus of TOMACS. The breadth of subject coverage is illustrated below:
o combined simulation o credibility assessment
o distributed simulation o experiment design
o hybrid simulation o model complexity
o model development environments o model diagnostic techniques
o model management o model representation
o model verification and validation o modeling methodology
o modeling theory and concepts o output analysis techniques
o parallel simulation o process generators
o program generators o qualitative simulation
o random number generation o random number testing
o real-time simulators o run-time efficiency
o simulation and artificial intelligence o simulation and computer gaming
o simulation and computer graphics o simulation applications
o simulation metamodels o simulation programming languages
o specification languages o transformation of random variates
o variance reduction o visual interactive simulation
SUBMISSION: Five copies of the complete manuscript should be submitted to
the Editor-in-Chief. Submission of a manuscript is a representation that
the paper has not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere
and that the work has been released for open publication.
REVIEW: Submissions are assigned to an Area Editor, who will handle the
review process and recommend disposition to the Editor-in-Chief. Area
definition and editorial appointments are in process.
