---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SimulationWorks 2008 Industry Track of SIMUTOOLS 2008 First International Conference on Simulation Tools and Techniques for Communications, Networks and Systems

March 4, 2008, Marseille, France http://www.simulationworks.org

Full Papers due: December 15, 2007 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CALL FOR PAPERS

SimulationWorks is the industry track of SIMUTools 2008 (www.simutools.org). The focus of the conference and the industry track is on Simulation Tools and Techniques for Communications, Networks, and Systems. The goal of the industry track is to promote the results that have been applied or have a potential application in an industrial field. Papers are sought on the topics of methodology, tools, applications, and practices (case studies). Particular emphasis will be given to papers that bridge multiple areas.

We encourage industry participation. The papers will be not so much assessed by their novelty as by their applicability and impact in different fields of industry.

Possible topics include, but are not limited to

* Case studies: Applications of simulation Simulation-based optimization Cost/performance trade-offs Simulation-based systems design

* Application areas: Computer Systems, Telecommunications, and Networks.

* Tools: OPNET, NS-2, Interconnected simulation platforms, ATDI ICS, Qualnet, OMNET++, NIIST, Dymola, Matlab/Simulink, Verilog simulators, CSIM, and 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.
