Jointly Sponsored by IEEE and ACM ****************************************************************** * SIMULATION IN EDUCATION FOR * * BUSINESS, MANAGEMENT, AND MIS * * * * . . . Part of the 1992 SCS Western Multiconference * * January 20-22, 1992, Hyatt, Newport Beach, CA ****************************************************************** It is clear from recent conferences and journals that simulation is an increasingly important tool for businesses of all types. At the WMC 1991 a significant portion of the Business/Management papers dealt with the use of simulation as a education/training environment for the teaching of simulation to Business/Management students. Our 1992 conference will focus on these areas. THE USE OF SIMULATION IN EDUCATION ENVIRONMENTS FOR BUSINESS, MANAGEMENT, AND MIS Possible topic areas include: * Design and implementation of training environments using simulation; * Testing and validation of training simulation environments; * Determining the effectiveness of training simulation environments; * Applications of training simulation environments in corporation management training centers; * Applications of training simulation environments in academic schools of business. THE EDUCATION OF BUSINESS, MANAGEMENT & MIS STUDENTS IN THE USE OF SIMULATION * Descriptions of curriculums for teaching simulation skills in business schools. * Curriculums, methods & tools for teaching simulation * for business policy & strategy analysis. * for business planning & decision support. * for business operations & control. * for business information systems support. * for marketing & product development. TUTORIALS AND PANELS ON THE ABOVE AREAS OF INTEREST Possible topic areas include: * Simulation languages applicable to building training environments for business training. * Problems of obtaining funding and approval to establish simulation education within schools of business and/or MIS. ** SCHEDULE: ** 1 August 1991: Abstracts or full papers due. 1 September 1991: Notification of acceptance/rejection. 1 October 1991: Tutorial commitments due. 15 October 1991: Deadline for camera-ready copy. All submissions will be reviewed. Because the identity of the authors and referees will not be revealed to each other, authors' names and affiliations should appear only on the cover sheet. Bibliographic references should be modified so as not to reveal the author's identity. Papers must be in English. Do not submit a paper that has been submitted to (or has appeared in) any other conference or journal. CONFERENCE CHAIR: Joseph E.
