AIM OF ESM’2017

The ESM’2017 (The 31st annual European Simulation and Modelling Conference) is the original international European conference concerned with state of the art technology in modelling and simulation. ESM’2017 aims to provide an overview of academic research in the field of computer simulation. A number of major tracks of simulation research are presented next to specific workshops, which capture the art and science of present-day simulation research.

ESM’2017 covers simulation methodology, simulation applications, specialised workshops, the exhibition and last but not least the poster sessions for students.

All submissions will be peer reviewed by at least three members of the International Program Committee. Accepted papers will be published in the conference Proceedings (both print and electronic format), that will be copyrighted and widely disseminated. All talks and tutorials, must be accompanied by a paper of between three to eight Proceedings pages.

The conference covers the following themes for which papers can be submitted:

– Modelling Methodology

– Modelling Simulation Tools

– Object-Orientation and Re-use

– Random Simulation and applications

For more info and details see:

https://www.eurosis.org/cms/index.php?q=node/3607

Tutorials can be proposed in the following three categories:

T1- Introductory tutorials

T2- State of the Art Tutorials

T3- Software and Modelware Tutorials

Tutorial proposals should be emailed to Philippe.Geril@eurosis.org before APRIL 10, 2017.

POSTER SESSION

The poster session only features work in progress. Next to the

actual poster presentation, these submissions also feature as short

papers in the Proceedings.

STUDENTS SESSION

This session is for students who want to present their work in

progress or part of their doctoral thesis as a paper. Student papers

are denoted by the fact that only the name of the student appears on

the paper as an author. They are published as short

papers in the Proceedings.

DIVERSE ACTIVITIES

For demonstrations or video sessions, please contact EUROSIS.

Special session will be set up for vendor presentations in co-

ordination with the scientific program. User Group meetings for

simulation languages and tools can be organised the day before the

conference. If you would like to arrange a meeting, please contact

the Conference Chairs. We will be happy to provide a meeting room

and other necessary equipment.

Partners for projects session(s) will be organised by EUROSIS to

give potential project teams or individuals the opportunity to

present their research in order to link up with fellow researchers

for future research projects. Those wishing to participate in this

session need to send a proposal to EUROSIS.

A EUROSIS TC Meeting and an EU Project update meeting

EXHIBITION

A special exhibition will be held during the conference focused on

industrial applications. For more information please contact EUROSIS for

further details. Email: Philippe.Geril@eurosis.org
