ICST - SIMUTools 2009 - Call for Papers

++++ SIMUTools 2009 ++++

Second International Conference on Simulation Tools and Techniques
March 2-6, 2009 - Rome (Italy)
http://www.simutools.org

++ Sponsored by ICST ++
In technical cooperation with SIGSIM, SCS, INRIA
(approval pending)

++ Paper submission deadline: October 19, 2008 ++

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 easychair
(http://www.easychair.org). Regular papers (7 to 10 pages) will be
eligible for awards and journal extension. The conference will include
a "work in progress" session, which will accommodate short papers
(4 to 6 pages) presenting ongoing work or new open issues. Each paper
will be peer reviewed for quality and correctness by at least three
reviewers. Only original papers, written in English, which have not
been published previously elsewhere, will be accepted.

At least one author of each accepted paper must register and present
the work at the conference.

-- SPONSORSHIP --

The event is organized in cooperation (approval pending) with the
ACM Special Interest Group on 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 --

Best Paper and Best Student Paper will be identified 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 poster@simutools.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.
