The Spring Simulation Multi-Conference 2013 (SpringSim'13) brings leading experts in various domains of Modeling and Simulation together. SpringSim'13 will be collocated with the Spring Simulation Interoperability Workshop (Spring SIW) 2013 organized and conducted by the Simulation Interoperability Standards Organization (SISO). The Theory of Modeling and Simulation (TMS/DEVS 2013) will be a sub-conference of SpringSim.

All accepted papers may also be published in the ACM Digital Library.
