The PADS workshop has expanded its traditional focus on parallel and distributed simulation methods and applications to cover all aspects of simulation technology, including 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; emulations of real systems.
* Mechanisms fo
