Fri Nov 29 1996
Subject: Simulation in Europe workshop REVISED AGENDA
To: Simulation in Europe workshop attendance

The agenda has been revised due to travel delays and no-shows
of several of the participants.

  Content of the workshop (style: discussions, only minor invited
  presentations):

   Part 1: intense scientific discussions of the different Action 
           groups which were identified in the first phase of the 
           Working Group's activity.
           The purpose of these discussions is to come to concrete
           answers to the essential questions for each Action.
           Action Leaders are responsible for preparing a list
           of such questions and moderating the Action sessions 
           (starting with a small presentation of their Action status).

   Part 2: discussion and decisions about structure, content, format 
           and timing of the White Book. The White Book is a collection of
           articles, one per Action, about the state-of-the-art
           in Simulation Technologies and about future directions
           in research.
   
   Part 3: structure, content and partners of a Network of Excellence
           in Simulation Technologies proposal. Concrete assignment
           of work in the proposal writing.
