March 3-7, 2008, Marseille, France http://www.simutools.org
Full Papers due: October 30, 2007 (extended) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CALL FOR PAPERS (pdf version: http://www.simutools.org/docs/CallForPaper.pdf)
SIMUTools 2008 is the first international conference focusing on Simulation Tools and Techniques for Communications, Networks, and Systems. The conference will address all aspects of simulation modelling and analysis. Papers are sought on the topics of methodology, tools, applications, and practices. Particular emphasis will be given to papers that bridge multiple areas.
Possible topics include, but are not limited to * Methodology/Simulation Art: Web based simulation, Agent based simulation, Petri Nets simulation, Fluid flow simulation, Bond Graphs simulation, Simulation-based Scheduling * Application areas: Telecommunication, Network Security, Health Care, Transportation, Manufacturing, Public Systems, Education and Training * Tools: OPNET, NS-2, interconnected simulation platforms, ATDI ICS, Qualnet, OMNET++, NIIST, Dymola, Matlab/Simulink, open source tools...
The event is in cooperation with ACM Special Interest Group on Simulation (SIGSIM) and Society for Modeling and Simulation International (SCS). All accepted papers will be made available in ACM Digital Library, as well as indexed by EI and ISI Index. Extended versions of selected papers will be published in relevant special issues of leading journals. Authors of accepted papers should register and present their work at the conference. A poster session will accommodate short papers and works in progress.
