                      36th Annual Simulation Symposium
                              
                         March 30 - April 2, 2003
                           Orlando, Florida

                               Sponsored by:
           The Society for Modeling and Simulation International

                           In cooperation with:
                        The IEEE Computer Society
                ACM (Association for Computing Machinery)

The Annual Simulation Symposium is a forum for the exchange of ideas,
techniques, and applications among practitioners of simulation in industry,
government, and academia. This international Symposium is the oldest
continuously operating conference/symposium dedicated to simulation.

The paper sessions are designed to promote discussion of concepts, tools,
methodologies, and results between authors and the audience. The structure of
the Symposium also provides for a degree of collegiality and continuity in
the discussions of the various topics presented during the week.

Original contribution in all areas of modeling and simulation are welcome.
This year's Symposium is particularly seeking papers in the following
topical areas:

                o Object-Oriented Simulation
                o Simulation Languages, Tools, and Environments
                o VLSI Circuit Simulators
