--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SIMUTools 2008 First International Conference on Simulation Tools and Techniques for Communications, Networks and Systems

March 3-7, 2008, Marseille, France http://www.simutools.org

early registration deadline is *January 31, 2008* ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION (pdf version: http://www.simutools.org/docs/CallForParticipation.pdf)

Simulation software has a prominent place in the set of tools and techniques used to study communications, networks, and systems.

The first aim of SIMUTools 2008 is to provide a meeting place for researchers and professionals who want to exchange and share their latest contributions to the design and improvement of techniques and tools in this rapidly evolving technology.

The second aim of the conference is to give a prominent place to inter-domain approaches and actively support and promote valuable contributions to the general field of Simulation Engineering.

--------------- Conference Program ---------------

The detailed technical program is available at http://www.simutools.org/. The conference features the following keynote speakers: - Thomas R. Henderson (The Boeing Company, and Electrical Engineering at the University of Washington) - Richard M. Fujimoto (Parallel and Distributed Simulation, College of Computing at the Georgia Institute of Technology) - Bernard P. Zeigler (Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Arizona, Tucson, and Arizona Center for Integrative Modeling and Simulation)

--------------- Industry Track ---------------

SimulationWorks is the industry track of the conference; it promotes results that have been applied or have a potential application in an industrial field.

The industry track features a keynote presentation by Richard Black (Microsoft Research, Cambridge, UK). More information can be found at http://www.simulationworks.org/.

--------------- Related Workshops ---------------

Four workshops will be held in conjunction with SIMUTools 2008: - QoSim: 1st International Workshop on the Evaluation of Quality of Service through Simulation in the Future Internet (www.qosim.org) - PNTAP: International Workshop on Petri Nets Tools and Applications (www.pntap.org) - OMNeT++: 1st International Workshop on OMNeT++ (www.omnet-workshop.org) - NCM&S: Workshop on Net-Centric Modeling & Simulation (osa.inria.fr/NCMS)

--------------- Venue and Accomodation --------------- SIMUTools 2008 will take place in the Mercure Marseille Beauvau Vieux Port Hotel. Located in the centre of Marseille, it overlooks the Canebiere and the Vieux Port. It is the oldest in Marseille, but has been completely restored keeping its old-world charm with antique furnishings and Provencal style and decor.
