AIM OF ESM'2024

The ESM®'2024 (The 38th annual European Simulation and Modelling Conference), formally known as the European Simulation 
Multiconference is the original international European conference concerned with state-of-the-art technology in modelling 
and simulation. ESM®'2024 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. The event will be a full onsite participation conference. Online participation is 
possible but not encouraged.

ESM®'2024 covers simulation methodology, simulation applications, specialised workshops, tutorials and last but not 
least sessions for students.

Special tracks/workshops during ESM®'2024 are:

Learning Agents and Co-Simulation for CPES, organized by the Carl von Ossietzky University Oldenburg, Germany

Smart Cities' Simulation, organized by the SUC Institute, UN Sustainable Development Goals 


The conference will be held at the University of the Basque Country, San Sebastian, Spain
https://www.ehu.eus/en/en-home

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.
