CONTENTS


TUTORIALS
As only those tutorials will be held with enough participants, we would like you to indicate which tutorial you would like to take part in:
[ ] 1 [ ] 2 [ ] 3 [ ] 4 [ ] 5

Tutorials

[1] Enhanced Tools for Simulation of Telecommunications Networks; Needs and Trends
Petre Dini, CRIM, Montreal, Canada

[2] Field Programmable Digital Circuit Design and Simulation
deals with Field Programmable Logic (FPL), a term which is well known inside the world of digital systems design. To prove this, the tutorial performs an introduction into the architecture of FPLs as well as into high level description and simulation languages, e.g. VHDL, which is capable of describing any digital system, basically not limited to binary systems. The tutorial includes theoretical background, language definition and case study examples based on system simulation. The focus is set on two aims: introducing the event driven simulation methodology and using the FPLs as simulation accelerators istself. Course material will be available on a CD-ROM at a reasonable price, sold at the tutorial side and during the conference, including text & schematics, design and simulation tools, VHDL compiler, case study examples. D.P.F.Moeller and C.Siemers, University of Clausthal, Clausthal, Germany

[3] Object Oriented Modeling of Physical Systems and Modelica
Hilding Elmqvist, Dynasim AB, Lund, Sweden
(this tutorial will be followed later in the week by a hands-on tutorial and a panel discussion about Modelica)

[4] Modelling Input Distributions with Particular Applications to Discrete Event Simulations
Russell Cheng, University of Canterbury, Canterbury, United Kingdom

[5] On Hybrid Combination of Queueing and Simulation
Nico M.Van Dijk, University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
