The 2005 International Conference on Bond Graph Modeling and Simulation brings together research paper presentations, panel sessions, tutorials, workshops, seminars, industrial applications, and software demonstrations that use Bond Graph modeling methods. There will be also featured plenary speakers and some special invited presentations. This conference will focus on Bond Graph modeling techniques for dynamic systems. Theoretical principles for electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and control system applications will be presented. Leading industrial users of the method in automotive, aircraft, fluid power, kinematics, multibody systems, and social and biological systems have been invited. Research papers are welcome in the following categories of presentation.

| Short Abstracts due (two copies) | May 1, 2004 | |
| Notification of abstract acceptance to authors | May 15, 2004 | |
| Full papers due for review (five copies) | July 1, 2004 | |
| Notification of paper acceptance to authors | September 1,2004 | |
| Camera Ready Copies due | October 1, 2004 |
Original, high-quality technical papers are solicited for review, possible presentation, and subsequent publication in the conference proceedings. All final paper submissions are to be made electronically to SCS via the Manuscript Central proceedings management system. Include complete postal and e-mail addresses and fax and phone numbers of corresponding author. Papers must be in English. For further instructions, please refer to the Submission Instructions in the Manuscript Central web site. Confirmations will be sent to the contact author when the file has been retrieved and successfully viewed or printed. Authors should identify the area(s) in which they think their contribution would best fit. Authors must obtain any employer, client, or government clearances before submission of the final manuscript. All conference attendees participate at their own expense.
Abstracts and full papers can be submitted alternatively to the General Chair or the Program Chair. In addition to regular papers of about 12 pages (double spaced), the program committee may accept additional papers, either as short papers (about 6 pages double-spaced), or proposals for tutorials. Please add a cover letter stating your name, affiliation, mail address, telephone number, FAX number, and e-mail address. The short abstracts will be reviewed by the two Chairs for general suitability to the conference. Three members of the International Program Committee will review each full paper.
