The Electronic Conference on Simulation (ELECSIM) was held in 1994, 1995, 1996 and 1997.
In the mid-1990s there were several groups experimenting with the use of mailing lists as an online conferencing mechanism. After reading about some of these at the University of Maryland and seeing products like "Convene", Roger Smith, an engineer in the military simulation industry undertook to create a conference on military simulation. The first event was held in 1994 and mediated through the Majordomo software to distribute conference papers and graphics to the "attendees" who registered to "attend" the conference. That first event attracted 400 participants from 16 countries. The conference consisted of 17 papers, one of which was presented every few days through email distribution. Discussions ensued for several days and then the next paper was distributed for reading and discussion.
Following the success of the first conference, the organizers and sponsors continued to produce the event for four years. In 1995 the conference materials were also posted on the brand-new World Wide Web and accessible to a few people through the NCSA Mosaic browser. However, few people in the simulation industry had this type of access to the Internet in 1995, so most of the distribution and discussion continued to be managed via the Majordomo list server.
Smith wrote a paper for the Internet World Conference in 1994 describing the experience of creating and running the conference - . He was also nominated for the Rolex Award for Enterprise based on this project.
In 1997 or 1998 all of the papers from the four conferences were entrusted to the Society for Computer Simulation for posting on their web site and archiving. Unfortunately, in those early days of organizational web pages, it was not clear that they had real value. When SCS changed their web site they deleted the only known complete copy of the ELECSIM papers. However several of the papers remain published on the personal web pages of the authors, some of which are listed in the References section below. Numerous citations to ELECSIM papers can also be found in later conference publications and several papers appeared as chapters in publications by the National Academies Press.

Namita Banka is an Indian entrepreneur, and founder of Banka Bioloo. Banka BioLoo Ltd (formerly Banka BioLoo Pvt Ltd) is a proprietary firm started by Namita Banka in 2008. A graduate of Delhi University, she was originally a jeweler before switching to social entrepreneurship in 2008 following a move from Surat to Hyderabad. In this role, she developed bio-digester technology that made it easier to install toilets in remote, rural locations and on trains. Banka is a 2013 laureate of the Cartier Women's Initiative Awards.
Education
Namita is a science graduate from Delhi University, with a post graduate degree in metal designing, she also worked at jewellery designing and manufacturing for eight years in Surat, Gujarat. Namita began her career as a jewelry designer in Surat in 1999.
Social entrepreneurship
After her husband was transferred to Hyderabad in 2008, Namita began a complete career path change because the city had fewer prohibitions and more opportunities. She enrolled in a course on social entrepreneurship and tried her hand at selling ink cartridges and green office supplies, tendering to Indian Railways. The following year, through her contacts, she learnt about one of their big problems facing both rail roads and Indians living in rural areas: sanitation. Early customers contracted her company to build and maintain toilets in a variety of locations including schools, private residences, construction sites, and plantations. While the technology is officially gender neutral, one of the primary benefactors of her product has been women as it allows them to preserver their dignity in public spaces.
Banka started looking towards other technologies in 2015, including how to better use biogas. She has also said that guilt can be one of the biggest things holding back women entrenepenuers. Banka is a 2013 laureate of the Cartier Women's Initiative Awards.
