Why are detector simulations needed?
- optimize full detector designs for physics performance on benchmark processes
- optimize subsystems, subdetectors
- compare proposed detector technologies (in concert with test beam)
- calorimeter examples - RPC, GEM, scintillator, Silicon, lead tungstate, hybrid
- compare different full detector designs
- compare MC for comparing Monte Carlo simulations with test beam results to better understand both
- compare, test, and debug reconstruction and analysis algorithms
- optimize design of subsystems, subdetectors
- and other software
- understand the understand role of dead material materials in affecting physics processesthe detector performance
- model the understand effects of hardware inefficiencies such as cross-talk, dead cells, etc.
- understand the effects of backgrounds
- establish an infrastructure for the actual detector experiment(s)

There are now four proposed detector designs for the ILC which each having , each of which has an an outline document. These are the

- 4 'coordinators' (2 Americans, 1 Asian, 1 European)
- Large Detector Concept (LDC) (European origin)
- TPC (+Silicon IT), 4T field
