The Workshop invites papers and presentations relating to distributed simulation standards, applications, technologies, interoperability issues, and other topics identified below and on the SISO web site. Final paper acceptance decisions are made after the full papers are submitted and reviewed by the Planning and Review Panels. Abstract and paper format requirements are described in the Author's Guide posted on the SISO web site.

EXPERIENCE WITH SISO STANDARDS: SISO invites papers and presentations that report on experiences with SISO-sponsored standards, references, and guides. SISO is looking for feedback on the utility and usability of SISO products as well as the value of using standards.

INDIVIDUAL FORUM AND GROUP CALLS FOR PAPERS AND PRESENTATIONS

Papers and presentations are considered in three main categories:

• User Community Forums, which examine and promote topics of M&S users.
• Specialty Area Forums, which examine and promote current and emerging processes, methodologies, and technology.
• Special Sessions, which deal with topics that merit timely solicitation of feedback from the SISO community.
