++++ SIMUTools 2009 ++++ Second International Conference on Simulation Tools and Techniques March 2-6, 2009 - Rome (Italy) http://www.simutools.org

++ Sponsored by ICST/CREATE-NET ++ In technical cooperation with ACM SIGSIM, SIGMETRICS, SCS, INRIA

++ Paper submission deadline: October 19, 2008 ++

SIMUTools 2009 is the Second International Conference on Simulation Tools and Techniques. This edition, which builds on the success of the first conference (168 participants from 31 countries), will focus on all aspects of simulation modeling and analysis. High quality papers are sought on simulation tools, methodologies, applications, and practices.

-- TOPICS --

The aim of the conference is to bring academic and industry researchers together with practitioners (from both the simulation community and from the numerous simulation user communities). The conference will address current and future trends in simulation techniques, models and practices, and foster interdisciplinary collaborative research in this area. While the main focus of the conference is on simulation tools, the conference also encourages the submission of broader theoretical and practical research contributions. General areas include, but are not limited to:

** Simulation Techniques and Methodologies: Discrete Event, Web-based, Agent-based, Petri Nets, Fluid-flow simulation, Bond Graphs, Simulation-based Scheduling, Simulation languages, Simulation interoperability techniques, etc.

** Tools: NS-2/3, OPNET, ATDI ICS, Qualnet, OMNET++, NIIST, Dymola, Matlab/Simulink, open source tools, etc.

The principal points of focus for the conference are computer networks, computer systems, and interdisciplinary work bridging various areas. Position papers from industry representatives, stimulating collaboration between industry and academia (e.g. posing problems and giving input to the simulation community) are particularly encouraged. Specific topics include but are not limited to:

* Wireless technologies (vehicular, mesh, ad hoc and sensor networks, cellular systems, IEEE 802.11, 802.15, and 802.16.) * Mobility models * Overlay networks * Network traffic modeling and generation * Topology generation * Quality of service * Networked applications and new networking paradigms * Energy-efficient computing * Distributed systems * Operating systems * Interconnection networks * Fault tolerant systems * Embedded and real time systems * Logistics * Security and emergency response * Health care * Transportation * Manufacturing * Education and training * Environmental and biological systems * Social networks * Public systems

-- SUBMISSION --

Authors are invited to submit papers in a PDF file, complying with the ACM conference proceedings format, through the Easychair conference management system, according to the indications given on this page:

* http://www.simutools.org/2009/Publication/SubmissionGuideLines

Regular papers should be 7 to 10 pages. Work-in-Progress papers, describing ongoing work, should be 4 to 6 pages. Only original papers, written in English, which have not been published previously elsewhere, will be considered for publication, after a peer-review process.

At least one author of each accepted paper must register and present the work at the conference.

-- SPONSORSHIP --

The event is organized by ICST in cooperation with the ACM Special Interest Groups on computer/communication system performance (SIGMETRICS) and Simulation (SIGSIM) and the Society for Modeling and Simulation International (SCS) . All accepted papers will be made available in the ACM Digital Library, and they will be indexed by EI and ISI. Best papers, after further reviews, will be considered for publication in a special issue of Simulation: Transactions of The Society for Modeling and Simulation, International.

-- AWARDS --

A Best Paper and Best Student Paper will be selected by peer reviews and will be acknowledged with awards presented during the social event.

-- CALL FOR POSTER SESSION --

Authors are also invited to submit proposals for poster presentations. Submit a ONE page extended abstract in PDF format to poster@simutools.org. Accepted abstracts will be published in the Conference Proceedings. Participants in the Poster Session are required to register and present their poster at the conference. Poster abstracts are due by December 8, 2008.

-- DISTINGUISHED SPEAKER --

** RICHARD STALLMAN launched the development of the GNU operating system (see www.gnu.org) in 1984. GNU is free software: everyone has the freedom to copy it and redistribute it, as well as to make changes either large or small. The GNU/Linux system, basically the GNU operating system with Linux added, is used on tens of millions of computers today. Stallman has received the ACM Grace Hopper Award, a MacArthur Foundation fellowship, the Electronic Frontier Foundation's Pioneer award, and the the Takeda Award for Social/Economic Betterment, as well as several honorary doctorates.
