Operational Research Society (UK): Simulation Study Group
Two Day Workshop
20-21 March 2002
The UK boasts a strong community of practitioners and researchers in simulation modelling. This has been evident in the attendance at recent meetings of the Operational Research Society Simulation Study Group. As a result, it has been decided to hold a two-day workshop on simulation modelling. The purpose of the workshop is to enable an exchange of ideas on the current, and future, state-of-the-art in simulation modelling, with a particular focus on discrete-event simulation.
Location
Hornton Grange, part of the University of Birmingham's conference park, provides excellent accommodation with easy access to the centre of Birmingham. The Edwardian property stands in its own attractive and peaceful grounds. All bedrooms are en-suite, and are equipped to the highest standard. The conservatory dining room and oak room bar provide a relaxed setting for meeting with colleagues. Residents also have access to the University's leisure facilities.
The Programme
The workshop will include plenary sessions, special focus streams and a PhD poster session. Contributions to the technical programme are sought in the following areas, although papers in any area of discrete-event simulation will be considered.
Simulation Methodology
· Component based simulation
· Collaborative Design
· Parallel and distributed simulation
· Web based simulation
· Simulation and artificial intelligence
· Simulation software
Simulation Applications
· Simulation in manufacturing
· Simulation in services
· Simulation in defence
· Simulation in health
Simulation Modelling and Analysis
· Conceptual modelling
· Input analysis
· Verification and validation of simulation models
· Output analysis
All submissions will be peer reviewed. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings that will be copyrighted. A paper of between three and ten pages must accompany all talks (excluding the poster session).
Timetable and Deadlines
19 October 2001: Electronically submit contributed papers not previously published or presented. The submission form and submission instructions can be found at http://www.orsoc.org.uk/conf/simulation/book/submission.htm. Each submission must be a 3 to 10 page paper, including an abstract of less than 150 words. Submission implies that an author will attend the workshop to present the paper, and all clearance required for publication of the paper will be obtained by 1 February, 2002.
14 December 2001: Contributors will be notified whether or not their paper has been accepted. Instructions for preparing final manuscripts will be made available.
1 February 2002: Authors provide the final manuscript for printing in the conference proceedings.
1 February 2002: Submit 1 to 3 page papers for the PhD poster session. These should be submitted using the electronic submission form for full contributed papers. Submission implies that an author will attend the conference. All PhD posters will be published in the conference proceedings.
