Winter Simulation Conference 2016 - Deadline coming (April 6)

CALL FOR PAPERS

2016 Winter Simulation Conference

December 11-14, 2016 | Washington, D.C. | http://www.wintersim.org/

The Winter Simulation Conference (WSC) is the premier international forum for disseminating recent advances in the field of dynamic systems modeling and simulation. In addition to a technical program of unsurpassed scope and quality, WSC provides the central meeting place for simulation practitioners, researchers and vendors. Research in modeling and simulation is propelled by fostering cross-fertilization between various disciplines. The Modelling Methodology is one of the traditional tracks, and there is still time to submit papers.

Modeling Methodology Track information:

Track Chairs:

• Levent Yilmaz, Auburn University
• Gabriel Wainer, Carleton University.

The Modeling Methodology track is interested in methodological advances with respect to the theory and practice of modeling and simulation. These may include approaches to model development, data capture, model building, verification, validation, experimentation, and optimization. Contributions to the advancement of the technology and the software used to support modeling are also welcome as are contributions featuring guiding or unifying frameworks, the development and application of meaningful formal methods, and lessons learned. All modeling paradigms are accepted and supported. If you have an idea for a special session or a panel discussion of particular interest to the WSC participants, please send an email with a short description and references to the work of relevant experts to the track chairs.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Modeling paradigms
• Formal modeling languages
• Modeling approaches for real-time systems
• Technological advances in modeling software
• Spatial and temporal modeling
• Multilevel modeling
• Multi-paradigm modeling
• Multi-formalism modeling
• Model reuse, repositories and retrieval
• Distributed simulation
• Modeling with ontologies
• Semantic tools supporting modeling methods
• Standardization challenges
• Epistemological perspectives
• Modeling for augmented reality
• Enhancing the impact of modeling and simulation
• Grand challenges for modeling and simulation

CONTRIBUTED PAPER DEADLINES

• April 6, 2016: Electronically submit contributed papers not previously published or presented. Papers should be at most 12 pages (including an abstract of not more than 150 words), except for introductory tutorials, advanced tutorials, and panel sessions, for which the limit is 15 pages. Submission implies that an author will attend WSC 2016 and present the paper, and all clearance required for publication of the paper will be obtained by July 15, 2016. Use of the authors' templates in one of the following formats is required: Microsoft Word or LaTeX. Submissions must be made through the WSC website www.wintersim.org.
• June 1, 2016: Notification of Acceptance
• July 15, 2016: Ready-Camera Version submission

LOCATION

WSC 2016 will be held in Arlington, Virginia, just outside of Washington, D.C. at the Crystal Gateway Marriott on December 11-14, 2016.

WSC 2015 is sponsored by ACM/SIGSIM, ASA (Technical Co-Sponsor), ASIM (Technical Co-Sponsor), IEEEISMC (Technical Co-Sponsor), IIE, INFORMS-SIM, NIST (Technical Co-Sponsor) and SCS.
