SIMUTOOLS 2011 4TH INTERNATIONAL ICST CONFERENCE ON SIMULATION TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES 21-25 March 2011, Barcelona, Spain www.simutools.org CALL FOR PAPERS SPONSORS Sponsored by ICST Technically co-sponsored by CREATE-NET Technically co-sponsored by IEEE Computer Society *** SCOPE SIMUTools 2011 is the fourth International ICST Conference on Simulation Tools and Techniques. The conference, which builds on the success of the previous three editions (2008-2010), will focus on all aspects of simulation modeling and analysis. High quality papers are sought on simulation tools, methodologies, applications, and practices. The aim of the conference is to bring academic and industry researchers together with practitioners from both the simulation community and the user communities. The conference will address current and future trends in broad simulation techniques, models and practices, and strive to foster interdisciplinary collaborative research in these areas. SIMUTools 2011 encourages submission of papers of significant theoretical and/or practical research contributions. *** TOPICS The conference invites submissions in all application areas. We specifically encourage submissions in interdisciplinary areas. Specific topics include, but are not limited to: * Wireless technologies (cellular, vehicular, mesh, ad hoc, wireless sensor networks) * Network models (mobility models, traffic models, network topology) * Overlay networks, peer-to-peer networks * Parallel and distributed systems, high-performance computing systems * Operating systems * Fault tolerant systems * Embedded and real-time systems * Human behavioral models/representations * Infrastructure networks (transportation, traffic, electric power, natural gas, etc.) * Logistics and manufacturing * Environmental and biological systems * Security and emergency applications * Military applications *** PUBLICATION Accepted papers presented at the conference will appear in CD proceedings, in the ACM DL, and in EU-DL. *** SUBMISSION Detailed submission and formatting instructions are available at http://www.simutools.org/2011/Publication/SubmissionGuidelines *** IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline: 25 October 2010 Notification of paper acceptance: 19 January 2011 Submission of camera-ready papers: 8 February 2011 *** ORGANIZING COMMITTEE General Co-Chairs Jason Liu, Florida International University, USA Francesco Quaglia, Sapienza University of Rome, Italy TPC Co-Chairs Stephan Eidenbenz, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, USA Stephen Gilmore, The University of Edinburgh, Scotland For a complete list of committee and board members, please visit http://www.simutools.org/2011/General/OrganizingCommittee
