SIMUTools 2014 is the seventh edition of the annual International
Conference on Simulation Tools and Techniques. The conference focuses on a
broad range of research challenges in the field of simulation, modeling
and analysis, addressing current and future trends in simulation
techniques, models, practices and software. The conference is dedicated to
fostering interdisciplinary collaborative research in these areas and
across a wide spectrum of application domains.
Building on the success of the previous six editions (2008-2013), this
year's edition will provide an exciting forum for interaction among
academic and industry researchers together with practitioners from both
the simulation community and the different user communities.
TOPICS
------
SIMUTools' general topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the
following:
* Simulation methods: discrete event, parallel and distributed simulation,
time synchronization, load balancing and migration, model partitioning,
hybrid simulation, simulation-interoperation, multi-resolution and
multi-scale simulation
* Simulation techniques: service-oriented, agent-based, web-based,
component-based, symbiotic simulation
* Simulation software: environments, tools, libraries, and frameworks
* Simulation performance: GPU-based simulation, simulation in the cloud,
scalability, performance analysis
* Modeling formalisms: DEVS, Petri Nets, process algebras, state charts,
and others
* Simulation verification, validation, accreditation, and analysis:
benchmark models, simulation-based verification, workflows, simulation
experiment design, and optimization
* Simulation packages: widely used frameworks such as Modelica, ns-2/3,
OPNET, Qualnet, OMNET++, and other open source software for modeling and
simulation
The conference invites submissions on the topics above in all application
areas of simulation.
Submissions in interdisciplinary areas are especially encouraged. 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, high-performance computing systems
* Operating systems
* Fault tolerant systems
* Embedded and real-time systems
* Human behavioral models/representations
* Infrastructural networks
* Logistics and manufacturing
* Environmental and biological systems
* Multi-agent systems
* Security and emergency applications
* Military applications
* Social networks
* Epidemiology
PAPERS
------
Papers describing significant research contributions of theoretical and/or
practical nature are being solicited for submission to the conference.
Authors are invited to submit original, high-quality papers presenting new
research related to simulation software, methodologies, applications, and
practices. While SIMUTools' main focus is on advances in simulation
software and techniques, the submission of papers is encouraged on all
aspects of simulation, modeling, and analysis, including broader
theoretical and practical research contributions.
Papers must be written in English and must not exceed 10 pages. Authors
should submit papers via the SIMUTools conference website in PDF format,
complying with the ACM conference proceedings style. 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 reviewers.
Papers will be assessed based on originality, correctness, relevance, and
quality of writing. In exceptional circumstances (such as papers evidently
out of scope) may not receive full-length reviews and may be rejected
summarily. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to
register and present the work in person at the conference. Short papers of
4 to 6 pages describing work in progress can also be submitted in the
short paper category.
PUBLICATION
-----------
Accepted papers presented at the conference will appear in electronic
proceedings, in the ACM DL (approval pending), and in EU-DL. 'Green' open
access is endorsed, i.e., authors may make their papers available on their
own web sites.
