SummerSim 2012 Deadlines Extended

2012 Summer Simulation Multiconference (SummerSim'12)

Summersim is a large event usually organized in North America and Europe to provide the opportunity for publishingand presenting top quality scientific papers in the different areas of modeling & simulation (M&S). Focusing on several topical perspectives will illustrate the tremendous evolution of the modeling and simulation community. Summersim is really an international multiconference involving world experts in the area of M&S with special attention to methodologies, techniques and applications. The 2012 edition will be held in the core of the Italian Riviera providing participants with the opportunity to enjoy world famous beaches and locations such as Portofino, Cinque Terre, as well as a chance to visit Genoa, Maritime Republic, which, during the Middle Ages, was a Critical location in world history. Participants in SummerSim2012 are free to attend sessions and other activities in any of the constituent events, such as SPECTS, SCSC & GCMS. The Conference topics will include, among others, the following:

International Symposium on Performance Evaluation of Computer & Telecommunication Systems (SPECTS'12)

Submit your paper for SPECTS 2012
The International Symposium on Performance Evaluation of Computer and Telecommunication Systems (SPECTS2012) is an annual international conference acting as forum for professionals involved in performance evaluation of computer and telecommunication systems. Performance evaluation of computer systems and networks has progressed rapidly in the past decade and has begun to approach maturity. Significant progress has been made in analytic modeling, simulation, and measurement approaches for performance evaluation of computer and telecommunication systems. SPECTS is technically co-sponsored by IEEE Communications Society and IEEE SMC Society (pending sponsorship for 2012). Accepted papers of SPECTS are archived in IEEE Xplore (pending approval for 2012)

Summer Computer Simulation Conference (SCSC'12)

Submit your paper for SCSC 2012
The Summer Computer Simulation Conference represents one of the oldest event in M&S worldwide and at the same time the top Conference with state of art of most innovative Simulation Technologies. Summer Computer Simulation Conference (SCSC2012) focus is on Simulation as Enabler for the Future; in fact Modeling and Simulation (M&S) is a very critical area for supporting Research and Development, as well as competitiveness, worldwide. New technologies are enabling new uses of M&S and increasing its impact in new areas. SCSC2012 provides an International Forum for presenting the State of the Art in the International Simulation Community as well as the Effectiveness of Simulation Experiences in World Businesses. The best overall papers, as selected by the Conference Committee, will be considered for possible publication in special issue of International Journals.

Program Co-Chairs:

• Miquel Angel Piera, University Autonoma de Barcelona, Spain

Grand Challenges in Modeling & Simulation (GCMS’12)

Submit your paper for GCMS 2012
The 5th International Conference on Grand Challenges in Modeling and Simulation (GCMS2012) is one of the main SummerSim2012 conferences, organized by the Society for Modeling and Simulation International (SCS). Following the success of the earlier conferences in Edinburgh, Istanbul and Ottawa the focus of GCMS2012 will continue to be on the major challenges that must be met if the full potential of modeling and simulation is to be realized. Significant progress in M&S methods and applications has accompanied the rapid growth in the power and cost-effectiveness of available computer systems, but many challenges remain.

International Conference on Bond Graph Modeling and Simulation (ICBGM'12)

Submit your paper for the ICBGM 2012
The 2012 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
