Call for Papers
2003 International Conference on Bond Graph Modeling and Simulation (ICBGM'03)

Part of the 2003 Western MultiConference

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

January 19 - 23, 2003

Marriott Orlando Airport
Orlando, Florida

The 2003 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:

Tutorials
Panel Discussions
Software and Tools
Bond Graph Theory
Mechanical Systems and Robotics 
Electrical and Power Systems
Fluid Power
Qualitative Modeling 
Mechatronics Systems
 
Control Systems
Bond Graphs and Block Diagrams
Biological and Medical Systems
Thermal and Chemical Systems
Biomechanics and Prosthetics
Computer Graphics and Bond Graph Modeling
Social and Economic Systems
Industrial Applications 
Large, Nonlinear Models

Abstracts and full papers can be submitted alternatively to the General Chair or the Program Chair. In addition to regular papers 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.
