The steering committee for the Workshop on Principles of Advanced and Distributed Simulation (PADS 2006) (formerly called Parallel and Distributed Simulation) continues the expanded scope for PADS in 2006. In addition to the traditional focus on parallel and distributed simulation methods and applications, the workshop now includes all aspects of simulation technology. This year we received a number of high-quality paper submissions in the following areas.
    • The construction of simulation engines using advanced computer science technology
    • Techniques for constructing scalable simulations
    • Advanced modeling techniques that allow solution of previously difficult or impossible problem domains
    • Simulation visualization techniques
    • Algorithms and methods for parallel or distributed simulation, including synchronization, scheduling, memory management, and load balancing
    • Applications of large–scale or distributed simulation methods
    • Distributed interactive simulation and distributed virtual environments
    • Tools, and techniques for interoperability of simulations, and emulations of real systems
    • Mechanisms for efficient design of experiments

PADS 2006 is preceded by the Sixth IEEE International Symposium on Cluster Computing and the Grid (CCGrid 2006), May 16-19, 2006, which takes place at Singapore Management University, in the centre of Singapore and near to Raffles Hotel.  As part of CCGrid 2006, the International Workshop on Distributed Simulation on the Grid (DSGrid) will take place on May 19, 2006.  This is an excellent opportunity to participate in two conferences covering a variety of topics in simulation research.
