Successes in Modeling and Simulation Methodologies 

Guest Editors: Simon J E Taylor (Brunel University) and George Riley (Georgia Tech) 

The use of computer-based modeling and simulation is prevalent in most areas of scientific endeavour and often represents some of the best applications of computer science. However, success stories of the application of M&S are lacking in literature. To present an opportunity to "showcase" some of the best of these, the ACM TOMACS Journal is seeking papers describing recent success stories of the use of novel techniques to produce efficient and accurate simulations of physical phenomenon. Submissions discussing simulations of systems in new or existing application domains are encouraged, as well as successes in the use of new technologies to better M&S. Example topic areas include: 

Aerodynamics and aviation 
Atmospheric modeling and weather prediction 
Business process re-engineering 
Chemical reactions 
Computer networks on ultra-large scale 
Decision support 
Defense 
Health care 
Logistics 
Manufacturing 
Micro-biological cellular behavior 
Nuclear physics 
Quantum physics 
Supply chain analysis 
Vehicular traffic and roadways 
Work-flow in discrete-event systems
