Symposium on Theory of Modeling and Simulation

DEADLINE APPROACHING CALL FOR PAPERS SYMPOSIUM ON THEORY OF MODELING AND SIMULATION (DEVS 2010) April 12-15 2010. Florida Mall Hotel and Conference Center. Orlando, FL. http://www.sce.carleton.ca/faculty/wainer/DEVS10 Sponsored by The Society for Modeling and Simulation International in cooperation with ACM/SIGSIM The purpose of this symposium is to provide a forum to discuss most recent advancements in Theory of Modeling and Simulation with a focus on Software Engineering and Formal Methods. The Symposium will focus on bridging different areas in Software Engineering and Theory of Modeling and Simulation, including formal modeling, model-checking, graph transformation, modeling methodologies and tools. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following: * Theory Modeling methodology, Hybrid system modeling & integration of formalisms Formal analysis and symbolic reasoning, Model Checking, Graph Transformations * Methodology Interoperability (grid, web services, etc.), M&S Engineering, M&S-Based development methods * Practice and Lessons Learned Military systems and infrastructure, Real-time and embedded systems, High performance computing, Software-intensive/networked systems, Transportation and traffic, Ecological and environmental systems, Standards * Toolkits and environments Tools and libraries (DEVS, PN, Timed Automata, etc.), Education aspects All papers will be included in the conference proceedings and archived in both the the ACM Digital Library; Full Papers will be also printed in hard copy. Important Dates Paper Submission: 15 Oct 2009 Notification: 15 Nov 2009 Final Paper: 2 Feb 2009 Submission Procedures The conference committee will accept three types of papers submitted as a PDF file to the conference website (http://www.softconf.com/scs/DEVS10/) as listed below. All submitted papers should be original and not have been submitted elsewhere; they will be peer reviewed with respect to their quality, originality and relevance. 1. Full manuscript: 8 pages in final conference format. In addition to publication in the conference proceedings, they will be considered for best paper award and for possible inclusion in a Special Issue of the Simulation Journal (SCS). Full papers will be published both in hard copy and CD-ROM. 2. Work in Progress: Short papers up to 6 pages in final conference format. 3. Short Papers: Papers with industrial focus, military or government applications, and work-in-progress in abstract or short paper format. DEVS 2010 Organizing committee General Chair: Gabriel A.
