CALL FOR PAPER
(pdf version: http://www.simutools.org/docs/CallForPaper.pdf)
SIMUTools 2008 is the first international conference focusing on Simulation
Tools and Techniques for Communications, Networks, and Systems. The conference
will address all aspects of simulation modelling and analysis. Papers are
sought on the topics of methodology, tools, applications, and practices.
Particular emphasis will be given to papers that bridge multiple areas.
Possible topics include, but are not limited to
* Methodology/Simulation Art: Web based simulation, Agent based simulation,
Petri Nets simulation, Fluid flow simulation, Bond Graphs simulation,
Simulation-based Scheduling
* Application areas: Telecommunication, Network Security, Health Care,
Transportation, Manufacturing, Public Systems, Education and Training
* Tools: OPNET, NS-2, interconnected simulation platforms, ATDI ICS, Qualnet,
OMNET++, NIIST, open source tools
Extended versions of selected papers will be published in relevant special
