If you have proven expertise in design theory, concurrent engineering, or advanced software applications please contact us. Our group studies existing modeling and simulation activities and works with the participants to develop new processes and computational tools in order to foster increased concurrency, information reuse, and more effective and widespread analytical engineering methods. This requires a multi-disciplinary collection of highly talented and motivated individuals with backgrounds drawn from engineering, physics, computational mathematics, and computer science. We are currently seeking candidates for two positions. (1) Software Engineer with strong computer science skills and background in any combination of the following areas: - Simulation environments - Software reuse (in this case, models, tools, and data) - Interoperability and distributed systems (e.g., OMG CORBA, Concurrent Engineering frameworks) - Databases - Human-computer interaction Candidates should have an M.S. or equivalent experience in Computer Science (preferred) or relevant engineering discipline. Analytic engineering skills are a definite plus but are not required; the primary emphasis is on computer science skills and strength in developing C, C++, Unix applications. (2) Design Theory and Methodology / Concurrent Engineering research, with particular emphasis on evaluation of existing design and analysis processes and measuring the effects of new processes and computational tools on factors such as quality, time, and overall effort. Candidates must have an M.S. or Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science or relevant engineering discipline. Strong research record or experience is required. The positions offer exciting challenges, wide variety, and the potential to have a significant impact.

Litow" Subject: WANTED: Opinions on Simulation Hardware Hi - Anyone have any experience, first hand or otherwise, with specific hardware made for high-performance simulation of dynamic, continuous systems? I would be particularly interested in feedback (no pun intended) from people with experience on the real-time simulators made by Applied Dynamics International (e.g., the System 100 and later), or Harris. Did it meet your needs? Ease of use/setup/modification? Quality of customer support/documentation? Price/performance? Would you buy it again? Etc? I am conducting an evaluation of specific hardware vs a general purpose workstation approach, and any and all opinions, ideas, strategies, stories, gushing praise or gripes/flames are welcome. :-) Thanks for your time.

Something just a little better than the one used in Carriers at War and similar computer games is what I am after.

I have a couple of questions, and this group seems like the appropriate place to ask: (1) Is anyone doing any computer network simulation using COMDISCO Systems, Inc.'s BONeS PlanNet? What do you think of the package? Documentation? Examples? Are you making good use of the software? Do you have any advice for a 'beginner' (I almost have my B.Sc.)? (2) I need some good books on computer modeling/simulation/analysis. I know there are lots of good books out there that focus on queueing theory and such, but I am looking for something more applied (ie. delay, throughput, collisions, retransmissions, and how to improve all of those). Thanks in advance for any help.

Global companies have learnt to reap the benefits of timely investments, whereas others have fallen by the way, either to slow the change or else not committed enough to underpin the change with real action. Anyone associated with new product development, will know that the new paradigm for success is "Provide the most value for the lowest cost in the least amount of time" - G.Stalk Jnr, Boston Consulting Group. To achieve quicker time to market, product design, development, production and manufacture must be done concurrently to maximize the time available. By using multi- disciplined product teams in collaboration with Information Technology and Electronic Design Automation Tools, the total cycle time from conception to launch is substantially reduced. Down stream processes such as Sales, Marketing, Support, Logistics and Maintenance are also monitored, evaluated and brought in to the total product development to ensure that customer requirements and engineering requirements have definite correlation. Use of Quality Function Deployment in product development plots what the customer wants against the how the product will be built. The mix of customer attributes and engineering characteristics in QFD promotes more interaction between multi-disciplined teams , and more importantly propagates quality throughout the design cycle. CEEDA 94 aims to identify the progress that has been made in Concurrent Engineering in the past two years, and the possible direction this philosophy will take in the future. Who should attend The Conference will be of direct benefit to Process, Production, Design or Development Managers in Manufacturing, Strategic Directors, Quality Managers and Technical Directors. The Conference will also be of interest to Industrial and Academic Researchers. DEADLINES AND REQUIREMENTS Extended abstracts(300 words, two pages typewritten without drawings and tables)are due to arrive in TRIPLICATE at the The Bournemouth University c/o Michele Bell,before SEPTEMBER 30TH, 1993.

If early registration and payment is not made the paper will not be published in the Conference Proceedings. In the case of multi-authors, one author should be identified as the person who will act as correspondent for the paper. Abstracts will be reviewed by members of the International Programme Committee and notification of acceptance or rejection will be sent by NOVEMBER 15TH, 1993 An author kit with complete instruction for preparing a camera-ready copy for the Proceedings will be sent to authors of accepted abstracts.
