Discrete and Combined Simulation

 

Track at the European Modeling & Simulation Symposium 2008

(EMSS 2008)

Track Description

Simulation of discrete-event dynamics is a meaningful aid in understanding the behaviour of complex man-made systems. On the other hand, many engineering systems exhibit a hybrid discrete/continuous nature and a combination of the discrete and continuous approaches is required to properly simulate their dynamic behaviour. The track is focused on recent development in discrete and combined simulation tools and techniques. In particular, reports on application of discrete-event and combined simulation to solving various practical problems are welcome. Topics of interest include:

· Discrete-event simulation tools

· Petri net based modelling and simulation techniques

· Automatic simulation model generation

· Combined simulation tools and platforms

· Simulation of variable structure models

· Applications of discrete and combined simulation

Nevertheless different topics concerning Discrete and Combined Simulation are welcome. Authors are kindly invited to include in their papers and presentations all the research works, case studies and application both theoretical and applied.

Authors' Guidelines (further information author’s instruction section)

FIRST SUBMISSION

Extended abstracts (minimum 2 pages), full draft papers or other proposals should be submitted for the review process through the submission section by May 5, 2008.

The extended abstract or the full draft paper must contain title, authors, affiliations, addresses, main body and references.

Each extended abstract or full draft paper will be reviewed by at least two members of the International Program Committee taking into consideration scientific quality, originality and relevance. Only original papers, written in English will be accepted.

The extended abstract or the full draft paper should be prepared by following the final paper formatting. However any type of paper formatting can be accepted for the first submission.

 

NOTIFICATION OF ACCEPTANCE

Notification of acceptance will be sent by May 20, 2008.

 

CAMERA READY PAPER SUBMISSION

The International Program Committee will accept two types of camera ready papers: extended paper (10 pages, 2 columns); regular paper (6 pages, 2 columns) both for regular and special sessions.

The camera ready paper must adhere to the conference template. The .dot file contains the complete instructions for preparing a camera ready copy for the Proceedings. The final version of the paper must be a PDF file.

Your camera ready paper (extended paper or regular paper) in PDF format must be submitted by using the submission section before the 24th of June 2008

The page limit for manuscripts is ten (10) pages (included  in the author registration fee). Additional pages will require an additional fee.

If your work must be cleared or approved before publication by  your institution, company, or governmental agency, please be sure that  process will be completed by the due date above or we will not be able to include it in the CD Conference Proceedings.
