SCOPE
SIMUTools 2012 is the fifth International Conference on Simulation Tools and
Techniques. This edition, which builds on the success of the previous four
editions (2008-2011), will focus on all aspects of simulation modeling and
analysis. High quality papers are sought on simulation tools, methodologies,
applications, and practices.
The aim of the conference is to bring academic and industry researchers
together with practitioners from both the simulation community and the user
communities. The conference will address current and future trends in broad
simulation techniques, models and practices, and strive to foster
interdisciplinary collaborative research in these areas. The conference
encourages submission of papers of significant theoretical and/or practical
research contributions.

TOPICS
SIMUTools 2012 (the 5th International Conference on Simulation Tools and
Techniques) invites authors to submit original, high-quality papers presenting
new research related to simulation tools, methodologies, applications, and
practices. While SIMUTools' main focus is on advances in simulation tools, we
encourage the submission of papers on all aspects of simulation modeling and
analysis, including broader theoretical and practical research contributions.
The conference serves as a forum to foster collaborative work by bringing
together researchers from academia and industry, and practitioners who develop
and who use simulation technologies in a variety of areas.
General areas of interest include:
* Simulation methods: discrete event, parallel and distributed, hybrid,
load balancing, partitioning, simulation-interoperation
* Simulation techniques: service-oriented, agent-based, web-based,
component-based, symbiotic simulation
* Simulation tools, libraries and frameworks, including specialized tools,
such as ns-2/3, OPNET, ATDI ICS, Qualnet, OMNET++, NIIST, e-cell, and other
open source tools
* Modeling formalisms: DEVS, Petri Nets, process algebras, state charts,
and others
* Simulation verification, validation, accreditation, and analysis:
benchmark models, simulation-based verification, workflow, simulation
experiment design, optimization, and simulation coercion.
The conference invites submissions in all application areas. We specifically
encourage submissions in interdisciplinary areas. Specific topics include, but
are not limited to:
* Wireless technologies (cellular, vehicular, mesh, ad hoc, wireless sensor
networks)
* Network models (mobility models, traffic models, network topology)
* Overlay networks, peer-to-peer networks
* Parallel and distributed systems, high-performance computing systems
* Operating systems
* Fault tolerant systems
* Embedded and real-time systems
* Human behavioral models/representations
* Infrastructure networks (transportation, traffic, electric power, natural
gas, etc.)
* Logistics and manufacturing
* Environmental and biological systems
* Multi agent systems
* Security and emergency applications
* Military applications
Papers must be written in English and must not exceed 10 pages. Authors should
submit papers through EasyChair in PDF format, complying with the ACM
conference proceedings format. Submitted papers must not have been submitted
for review or published (partially or completely) elsewhere. Every paper will
be peer-reviewed by at least three different individuals. In exceptional
circumstances, papers may not receive full-length reviews and may receive early
rejection notice; if they are deemed out of scope, for instance. Papers will be
accepted based on originality, correctness, and quality of writing. At least
one author of each accepted paper must register and present the work at the
conference. Short papers of 4 to 6 pages, describing work in progress, can also
be submitted.
***
PUBLICATION
Accepted papers presented at the conference will appear in CD proceedings, in
the ACM DL (approval pending), and in EU-DL.
