Military Modeling and Simulation Symposium (MMS'08)

Part of the 2008 Spring Simulation Multiconference (SpringSim'08)

Sponsored by:
The Society for Modeling and Simulation International (SCS)

April 14 - 17, 2008

Crowne Plaza Ottawa Hotel
Ottawa, Canada

The Military Modeling and Simulation Symposium is a series of annual spring gatherings devoted to the full breadth of modeling and simulation in the military domain. In addition to providing a venue for publication and presentation of peer-reviewed papers, the symposium is a place for networking, discussions, and exchange of information with military modelers and simulationists from around the world. To that end, the symposium welcomes papers on any aspect of modeling and simulation related to the military.

How to participate

Paper Sessions

bullet

Technical Articles present significant results in research, practice, or education, and will be selected based on originality of the work and contribution to the field or body of knowledge of military modeling and simulation.
bullet

Experience Reports present timely information on the application of modeling and simulation in the military domain, and will be selected based on the interest of the experience presented to the military modeling and simulation community.

Topical Sessions

bullet

Workshops provide a session for military modeling and simulation professionals to explore issues, challenges, new developments, and other areas of interest.

bullet

Panel sessions allow a group of experts to address a particular topic and exchange views between themselves and the audience.
bullet

Tutorials allow experts in particular areas of military modeling and simulation to share their expertise with their colleagues.

Key Dates

Abstracts due 25 Oct 2007    Authors who would like to know if a particular topic would be of interest to the symposium can submit an extended (1-2 page) abstract directly to both chairs by this deadline.  An abstract will not be considered a submission, just a means for providing initial feedback.
Full Paper Submission due 15 Nov 2007    Technical articles and experience reports, properly formatted in accordance with these guidelines, must be anonymized (author and institution information removed) as part of the blind peer-review process.  Submission will be handled online by the SCS Conference Proceedings Management System, which will associate the author info with the paper, but hide it from the reviewers.
Topical Session proposals due 15 Nov 2007   
bullet Topical session proposals should be e-mailed directly to both chairs by this deadline.
Workshop proposals should state the issue to be addressed, identify the coordinator(s), and provide a description of who (in general terms) might be interested in the workshop.
bullet Panel proposals should identify the topic, the panel chair, and actual or potential panelists.
bullet Tutorial proposals should identify the topic, the name and qualifications of the instructor, an outline of the material, and the expected level of experience of the participants.
Notification 13 Dec 2007    The program committee will review the papers and determine which ones will be accepted.  Notification for topical session proposals will also be made by this date.
Final Paper due 10 Jan 2008    The final version of accepted papers, incorporating changes based on reviewer comments, are due by this date.
