SIMS 56

The 56th Conference on Simulation and Modelling (SIMS 56)

7-9 October 2015 "Modelling, Simulation and Optimization"

In 2015, the 56th Conference on Simulation and Modelling will be held in Linkoping, Sweden.

The SIMS 56 will cover broad aspects of simulation, modelling and optimization. The ambition of the SIMS 56 is to bring the field of modeling and simulation technics of energy systems applied to the general public as a contributing technology for efficient and sustainable energy systems. The scientific program will include technical sessions with submitted and invited papers, and might be open for poster sessions and vendor demonstrations. The conference organization will try to make a number of scholarships available for participation of Ph.D. students in the conference; therefore Ph.D. Students are encouraged to contribute with papers according to the conference themes. The conference papers will be published in LiU Electronic Press, which is an open access archive.

Venue

The SIMS 56 will be held at Linkoping University. Currently, Linkoping University has approximately 27,000 students and 4.000 employees. Since the start in the late 1960s, Linkoping University has been an innovator, creating new study programmes and new ways to tackle research problems. The university is an important driving force for regional development. However, the mission is greater--Linkoping University is a national and international player. World-class research is conducted within cutting-edge domains such as new materials, IT and disability research. Students come from all across the globe, with over 80 nationalities represented at LiU.

Linkoping University is accessible by direct bus from downtown in 10-20 minutes and from the airport by taxi in 10-15 minutes, you can also walk (link) to the university from downtown in about 40 minutes.
