Only original papers, written in English, which have not previously been published elsewhere will be accepted. In case you want to organize a panel discussion, please contact the general program chairman. Authors are expected to register early (at a reduced fee) and to attend the conference at their own expense to present the accepted papers. Without early registration and payment, the paper will not be published in the Conference Proceedings. Each abstract will be reviewed by at least three members of the International Program Committee. The notification of acceptance or rejection will be sent by FEBRUARY 20, 1996. Along with the notification of acceptance, an author kit with complete instructions for preparing a camera-ready copy for the Proceedings will be sent to authors of accepted abstracts or drafts . The camera-ready copy of the papers (or electronic versions of the paper in Word 6.0 (for Windows 3.1), WP 5 or LateX ) must be in by APRIL 20, 1996. In order to guarantee a high-quality conference, the full papers will be reviewed as well, to check whether the suggestions of the program committee have been incorporated. Nominees for the best paper award will then be selected as well. Language The official conference language and the language of the accepted papers will be English. If you plan to give state-of-the-art reviews or to organize panel discussions, then please contact the European Simulation Office. Best Paper Award The 1996 European Simulation Multiconference will award the best papers, one in each track. From these papers the best overall paper will be chosen. We will try to have the awarded paper published in an International Journal, if necessary after incorporating modifications to the paper. Submission Deadline: January 30, 1996 Acceptance Notification: February 20, 1996 Camera-Ready Copies: April 20, 1996 Registration Fees Author SCS/EUROSIM Other Members Participants Pre-registration before May 15th, 1996 16.000 BF 16.000 BF 18.000 BF (433 ECU) (433 ECU) (487 ECU) Registration after May 15th, 1996 Pre-Registration 18.000 BF 20.000 BF Required (487ECU) (625 ECU) Registration fees should preferably be paid in Belgian Francs or ECUs, but can also be paid in the equivalent amount of US$, Pound Sterling, DM or FF.

There will be a special exhibition section for universities and non-profit organisations, and a special section for publishers and commercial stands. If you would like to participate in the exhibition, please contact the SCS European Office. Venue Budapest is not only the capital of Hungary, but also its geographic, scientific and cultural centre. As a result of its location on both banks of the river Danube, Budapest is one of the most beautiful cities of Europe. The city grew out of the union of both cities on either bank of the Danube, the hillstrewn Buda on the right bank and the lowlying Pest on the left bank. As a result of its speckled history from Roman times, through the Middle Ages and Renaissance to the present day, Budapest blends a myriad of building styles into one harmonious entity. One of its peculiarities lies in the fact that there are some 180 hot springs feeding some 10 thermal baths.
