Goal and Topics of DASD 2005
****************************

The 2006 Spring Simulation Multiconference (SpringSim 2006) will feature the 4th conference on Design, Analysis, and Simulation of Distributed Systems (DASD 2006). The conference is devoted to distributed and Internet-based systems. The main topics cover (but are not limited to)

    * Performance Evaluation
    * Petri Net Modeling
    * Self-Organization and Adaption
    * Cooperative Simulation Systems
    * Distributed Simulation of Intelligent Systems
    * Applications

The goal of the conference is to encourage innovation in design, analysis and simulation of distributed systems. This includes new technologies as well as new methodologies, new concepts and experience reports. DASD 2006 will promote a high quality exchange of ideas and information between universities, industry, and national laboratories supporting the development in the design, analysis and simulation area of next generation distributed systems which can provide solutions to current scientific and technological challenges.
