2003 Summer Computer Simulation Conference
SCSC 2003

July 20-24, 2003 

Wyndham Hotel Montreal

Sponsored by:
The Society for Modeling & Simulation International (SCS) 


July 20-24, 2003, Wyndham Hotel Montreal, Montreal, Quebec, CANADA 

Summer Computer Simulation Conference is focusing on World Wide Usage of Advanced Simulation this year. Modeling and Simulation is a very critical area for supporting Research and Development as well as competitiveness worldwide; new technologies are enabling new use of M&S and increasing its impact in new areas; SCSC provides an International Forum for presenting the State of the Art in the International Simulation Community as well as the Effectiveness of Simulation Experiences in World Businesses.

Several topical perspectives will serve to illuminate the evolution of the modeling and simulation community. All submissions will be reviewed based on the draft full paper and/or extended abstract. Award will be attributed  by the Conference Committee to the best Papers that will be considered for possible publication in a special issue of an International Journal.
A list of topics is summarized here:

PAPER SUBMISSION

Extended abstracts (4-6 pages), full draft papers or other proposals should be submitted for the review process as a PDF file to the site http://scs.proceedingscentral.com/ by February 28, 2003. Each extended abstract must include the title, authors, affiliations, addresses, references and summary (4-6 pages) for proper positioning in the conference. Only original papers, written in English, which have not been published previously elsewhere will be accepted. Please indicate which conference topic is most appropriate, listing first and second choices. Notifications of acceptance status will be sent on April 12, 2003.

Please note that in case of acceptance  your final manuscript will need to be submitted electronically as a PDF file to the site http://scs.proceedingscentral.com/ by May 9, 2003 to guarantee inclusion in the conference CD and final program. Authors of accepted papers are expected to attend the conference, present their work to their peers, transfer copyright, and pay a conference registration fee at the time their camera-ready paper is submitted.

Student Workshop The Student Workshop is devoted to PhD Students, Master Students and Undergraduates willing to submit a paper/poster to be presented during SCSC2003; the selected papers will be included in the Conference CD only (not in Proceedings Hardcopy) and will compete for the Best Student Paper Award. A special registration fee is reserved for Students (Student ID and Professor Check Required).
Chairs:
Peter Kropf, University of Montreal
Link Rothrock, Penn State University
Technical Council Workshop: Applications in Management, Planning & Forecasting The Workshop of the Technical Council for Applications in Management, Planning and Forecasting  invites you to submit draft full papers and to participate on the panel session of this new Technical Council of SCS for setting up Cooperations and Projects.
Contact Person: Marina Massei, MISS DIP University of Genoa
LESNEX (LEan Simulation Network of Excellence) Workshop The Lesnex Workshop focuses on the development of the Lean Simulation as a new approach for applying M&S techniques into Small and Medium Size Enterprises as well as during early state evaluation in large program.
Contact Person: Stefano Saetta, University of Perugia
Standards Workshop This special SCSC 2003 workshop includes paper sessions as well as panel sessions; this initiative is part of a new series of "M&S Standards" focused panel discussions to be held at multiple simulation events (e.g. SISO, SCS, ITEC, I/ITSEC). The panel session will last approximately two hours and will have a standard format involving panel discussions addressing mid-term modeling and simulation standards needs. The panel discussions will be followed by audience discussion and feedback. Results from each of the sessions will be compiled and briefed back to the Simulation Interoperability Standards Organization (SISO) to advocate modeling and simulation community priorities to leadership in government, industry and academia.
Contact Points:
Peggy Gravitz, Aegis, USA
Steve Swenson, NUCW Navy, USA
