Call For Papers - CFP

SIMUTools 2010 (the 3rd International Conference on Simulation Tools and Techniques) invites the submission of original, high-quality papers on simulation tools, methodologies, applications, and practices. This new edition of the conference builds upon the great success of our two previous meetings. While SIMUTools' main focus is on advances in simulation tools, we encourage the submission of papers on all aspects of simulation modeling and analysis, including broader theoretical and practical research contributions. The conference serves as a forum to foster collaborative work by bringing together researchers from academia and industry, and practitioners who develop and who use simulation technologies in a variety of areas.

General areas of interest include:

Simulation methods: discrete event, parallel and distributed, hybrid, load balancing, partitioning, simulation-interoperation

Simulation techniques: service-oriented, agent-based, web-based, component-based, symbiotic simulation

Simulation tools, libraries and frameworks, including specialized tools, such as ns-2/3, OPNET, ATDI ICS, Qualnet, OMNET++, NIIST, e-cell, and other open source tools

Modeling formalisms: DEVS, Petri Nets, process algebras, state charts, and others

Simulation verification, validation, accreditation, and analysis: benchmark models, simulation-based verification, workflow, simulation experiment design, optimization, and simulation coercion.

The conference also focuses on applications in areas of computer networks and systems, and interdisciplinary areas. Specific topics include, but are not limited to:

Wireless technologies (cellular, vehicular, mesh, ad hoc, wireless sensor networks)

Network models (mobility models, traffic models, network topology)

Overlay networks, peer-to-peer networks

Parallel and distributed systems

Operating systems

Fault tolerant systems

Embedded and real-time systems

Human behavioral models/representations

Security and emergency applications

Transportation and Traffic

Education and training

Logistics and manufacturing

Environmental and biological systems

Military applications

Papers must be written in English and must not exceed 10 pages. Authors should submit papers through EasyChair in PDF format, complying with the ACM conference proceedings format. Submitted papers must not have been submitted for review or published (partially or completely) elsewhere. Every paper will be peer-reviewed by at least three different individuals. In exceptional circumstances, papers may not receive full-length reviews and may receive early rejection notice; if they are deemed out of scope, for instance. Papers will be accepted based on originality, correctness, and quality of writing. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and present the work at the conference.

Sponsorship and publication

The event is organized by ICST and CreateNet, in technical cooperation with ACM SIGSIM, ACM SIGMETRICS and SCS. The papers that are accepted and presented at the conference will appear in CD proceedings, in the ACM DL, and in EU-DL. Best papers, pending further reviews, will be considered for publication in a special issue of Simulation: Transactions of The Society for Modeling and Simulation, International.

Awards

One Best Paper and one Best Student Paper will be selected by peer reviews and will be announced during the social event at the conference.
