Registration and Hotel Cut-off Reminder
Simulating Complex Service Systems
The Winter Simulation Conference (WSC) is the premier international forum for disseminating recent advances in the field of dynamic systems modeling and simulation. In addition to a technical program of unsurpassed scope and quality, WSC provides the central meeting place for simulation practitioners, researchers and vendors. Research in modeling and simulation is propelled by fostering cross fertilization between various disciplines. The theme for WSC 2016 is Simulating Complex Service Systems. This theme emphasizes the increasingly complex engineered and human systems in highly connected environments, the availability of data to help us model such systems, technological advances which continue to push the limits of computation, and conceptual and mathematical advances which help us to make sense of complex systems. These forces help to enable more informed decisions.
REGISTRATION AND HOTEL CUT-OFF REMINDER
New to this year’s conference is “Beltway Executive Day” where D.C. area decision makers can learn more about predictive analytics and simulation. For more details email [log in to unmask]
HOTEL CUT-OFF is NOVEMBER 14th 2016!

LOCATION
WSC 2016 will be held in Arlington (Washington DC), Virginia, at the Crystal Gateway Marriott and Convention Center. The hotel and convention center are located near the Pentagon and across the Potomac River from Washington, DC. The hotel is also connected to the Crystal City Shoppes and has easy access to all Washington, DC sights via the Metro system.
KEYNOTE & TITAN SPEAKERS
Keynote speaker Scott E. Page is Director of the Center for the Study of Complex Systems and the Leonid Hurwicz Collegiate Professor of Complex Systems, Political Science, and Economics at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. His online course Model Thinking has attracted more than one half a million participants. He has been awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship and a fellowship at the Center for Advanced Studies in the Behavioral Sciences. Prof. Page is an elected fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
Titan of Simulation Edward H. Kaplan is the William N. and Marie A. Beach Professor of Operations Research, Professor of Public Health, and Professor of Engineering at Yale University. Prof Kaplan was elected to the National Academy of Engineering and the Institute of Medicine (now the National Academy of Medicine). His research in HIV prevention and counterterrorism has been recognized with the Edelman Award, Lanchester Prize, CDCs Charles C. Shepard Science Award, INFORMS President’s Award, three Koopman Prizes, and numerous other awards.
Titan of Simulation Susan M. Sanchez is a Professor of Operations Research at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) in Monterey, California, and holds a joint appointment in the Graduate School of Business & Public Policy. She established and serves as Co-director of NPS’s Simulation Experiments & Efficient Designs (SEED) Center for Data Farming. Over the last decade, the SEED Center has done research for the US Armed Forces and many leading defense organizations in the US and allied countries.
In addition, MASM Keynote will be Robert C. Leachman and the Military Track will feature Military Keynote Todd Combs. Robert C. Leachman is Professor of Industrial Engineering and Operations Research at the University of California at Berkeley. His work with semiconductor companies has won the 1995 Franz Edelman Award Competition of INFORMS and he was runner up in the 2001 Franz Edelman Award Competition. Todd Combs is the Director of the Global Security Services Division at Argonne National Laboratory. His research has spanned energy systems analysis for DOE sponsors, and the use of modeling and simulation to national and homeland security issues for the DoD and Homeland Security sponsors.
