Conference name: 2nd International Conference on Simulation and Modeling Methodologies, Technologies and Applications (SIMULTECH 2012)

Venue: Rome, Italy


Event Date: 28-31 July, 2012


SCOPE

The purpose of the 2nd International Conference on Simulation and Modeling Methodologies, Technologies and Applications

(SIMULTECH) is to bring together researchers, engineers, applied mathematicians and practitioners interested in the advances and

applications in the field of system simulation. Four simultaneous tracks will be held, covering on one side domain independent

methodologies and technologies and on the other side practical work developed in specific application areas. The specific topics

listed under each of these tracks highlight the interest of this conference in aspects related to computing, including

Conceptual Modeling, Agent Based Modeling and Simulation, Interoperability, Ontologies, Knowledge Based Decision Support, Petri

Nets, Business Process Modeling and Simulation, amongst others.

SIMULTECH focuses on bridging formal methods and real world applications; therefore authors should highlight the benefits of

Simulation Methodologies and Technologies for industry and services, either in general or for particular applications. Ideas on

how to solve business problems, using simulation and modeling methodologies and technologies, will arise from the conference.

Papers describing advanced prototypes, systems, tools and techniques and general survey papers indicating future directions are

also encouraged. Papers describing original work are invited in any of the areas listed below. Accepted papers, presented at the

conference by one of the authors, will be published in the Proceedings of SIMULTECH. Acceptance will be based on quality,

relevance and originality. Both full research reports and work-in-progress reports are welcome. There will be both oral and

poster sessions.
