Welcome to EUROSIM 2026!
Dear Sir/Madam,
Innovations and improvements are required to react quickly to the new trends of the global economy. Over the years, Modeling & Simulation (M&S) has proved to be one of the most effective, beneficial and successful methodologies to investigate and study complex systems belonging to various sectors/areas. Today, the emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming this landscape, offering unprecedented opportunities to enhance model fidelity, accelerate simulation speed, enable autonomous decision-making, and unlock new paradigms in digital twins and predictive analytics. Nevertheless, to take full advantage of these synergies, researchers and practitioners face significant challenges: ensuring transparency and trust in AI-enhanced models, bridging the gap between data-driven and physics-based approaches, and integrating cutting-edge algorithms into real-world decision support systems. Addressing these opportunities and challenges will define the next generation of M&S applications.
M&S combined with AI is now widely applied in many domains, from industry to social sciences, from logistics to military, from energy to healthcare, providing a truly multidisciplinary perspective where theory, data, and learning algorithms work together to generate deeper insights and more robust solutions.
The 2026 Federation of European Simulation Societies’ Congress will be a unique platform for knowledge exchange, debate, and collaboration on these themes. Scientists, researchers, decision makers, practitioners, and students will come together to review theoretical advances, present research results, and share industrial experiences under the banner of “M&S & AI: Opportunities and Challenges for Present & Future.”
We warmly invite you to take an active part in this congress and the co-located events to be held in Genoa, Italy, in September 2026, and join us in exploring the exciting future of multidisciplinary M&S empowered by AI.
Sincerely,
EUROSIM 2026 Organization Committee

Tracks
An Open Track addresses specific, well-defined subjects and has no upper limit on the number of papers that can be submitted to it. Contributions to open tracks can be either regular papers or short papers (min 3 pages length) and they will appear in the conference proceedings. The organizer(s) of an Open Track will be inviting contributions but the tracks are open to everyone is willing to contribute. If at least 4 papers are submitted to the track, one (or more) Invited Sessions, including those papers, will be part of the conference program.

Track Description:
This Track of Federation of European Simulation Societies’ Conference (EUROSIM 2026) aims at presenting Research and Development devoted to system engineering.
Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) has become a End-to-end methodology for addressing the systems’ complexity across their entire DevOps lifecycle. Recently, the increasing scale and interdependence of system models pose new challenges with respects to automation, explainable, optimization, etc.
Artificial Intelligence (AI), with its rapid advancements in machine learning, natural language processing, knowledge representation, and reasoning, offers transformative potential for enhancing MBSE. Integrating AI with MBSE can enable intelligent model generation, automated requirements analysis, predictive system behavior modeling, adaptive lifecycle management, etc.
This Track aims to promote academic research, technology development, and industrial applications at the intersection of AI and MBSE. Related concepts, methods, methodologies as well as innovative models, solutions and simulators and related case studies and challenges are invited to submit their original contributions. Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Modeling and simulation language
- AI-Driven Modeling and Automation
- Develop intelligent methods and tools
- Learning and Optimization in MBSE
- Intelligent Lifecycle Management
- Natural Language and Human–System Interaction
- Industrial Applications and Case Studies
- Foster cross-disciplinary applications
- Verification, Validation and Accreditation of MBSE
Please be sure to select “Artificial Intelligence for Model-Based Systems Engineering (AI4MBSE): Towards Intelligent, Adaptive, and Autonomous Systems” as main topic during the submission.
