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

postersimutools.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.
