DEVS Integrative M&S Symposium Call for Papers

(Download in PDF)

 

The increasing complexity of system design and analysis demands for more advanced modeling and simulation technologies. Towards this goal, Discrete Event System Specification (DEVS) has made significant advances in theory, methodology, and applications of system modeling and simulation. The goal of this annual DEVS Integrative M&S Symposium is to foster continuous research and to promote broader practice of DEVS-based modeling and simulation.

 

This year’s DEVS Symposium will continue to provide a forum for scientists and professionals to discuss recent developments in DEVS-based modeling and simulation as well as DEVS education and standardization.  It also provides an opportunity to network with M&S organizations such as SISO, the DEVS-Standards Group, and M&SNet, and to exchange ideas with other M&S practitioners who participate in related SpringSim symposia. In order to promote wider discussions of DEVS-related advances in research and industry applications, joint sessions with Agent Directed Simulation (ADS) and High Performance Computing (HPC) symposia are planned. The symposium proceedings will be published by the Society for Modeling and Simulation International (SCS). Selected papers from this symposium will be considered for a special issue of the SCS journal SIMULATION: Transactions of the Society for Modeling and Simulation International. Topic areas include (but are not limited to)

 

 

DEVS Theory and Methodology

 

DEVS modeling methodology

DEVS-Integration of formalisms

Hybrid system modeling & simulation

Model continuity in system development

Abstracts and full papers should be submitted to the http://www.softconf.com/scs/DEVS2006/submit.html with the DEVS Integrative M&S Symposium clearly marked. In addition to regular papers (to be about 8 pages in length, single spaced, with minimum 10 pt font), the program committee will also accept position papers (up to 3 pages) or proposals for tutorials. Please submit papers in Word, PDF, or PostScript with the authors’ complete addresses, phone, fax, and email. 

 

Manuscript Submission Deadline is November 28, 2005
