Call for Papers - ACM SIGSIM PADS 2018
2018 ACM SIGSIM Conference on
Principles of Advanced Discrete Simulation
http://www.acm-sigsim-pads.org
May 23 - 25, 2018
Sapienza, University of Rome, Rome, Italy
IMPORTANT: submission deadline: January 8, 20178
The ACM SIGSIM Conference on Principles of Advanced Discrete Simulation (ACM
SIGSIM PADS) continues its reputation for high quality papers. SIGSIM PADS is
the flagship conference of ACM's Special Interest Group on Simulation and
Modeling (SIGSIM). The ACM SIGSIM PADS conference focuses on cutting-edge
research that lies at the intersection of Computer Science and Modeling and
Simulation (M&S). High quality papers are solicited in all aspects of
M&S, including (but not restricted to) the following areas:
Advanced modeling techniques, including reuse of models, new modeling
languages, agent-based M&S, and spatially explicit M&S.
Algorithms and methods for parallel or distributed simulation, including
synchronization, scheduling, memory management, load balancing, and scalability
issues.
New simulation algorithms and techniques including hybrid simulation
approaches, adaptive algorithms, approximations, GPU, FPGA and hybrid
architecture acceleration.
Modeling and simulation for big data and big data analytics
Simulation infrastructure and security issues for large scale distributed
and/or cloud based modeling and simulation
Model and simulation persistence and recovery in the presence of hardware
failures
Integration of simulation with other IT systems, methods, and developments
including simulation based decision-making, visual analytics, intelligent
support in M&S, and simulation in cloud computing environments.
Mechanisms for efficient design of experiments, including dynamic
verification and validation of models, and automatic simulation model
generation and initialization.
M&S applied to manage and/or optimize operational systems and
methodological challenges arising from these applications including online
simulation, symbiotic simulation, dynamic data?-driven application systems,
real-time and embedded simulation, and emulation of real systems.
Tools and techniques for interoperability and composability of simulations
including emerging standards and service-oriented approaches.
Case studies considering the application of new or advanced computational
methods to applications of contemporary interest.
Submission
Regular Papers: Papers must be prepared by using an official ACM Proceedings
Format template provided at http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates.
Papers must be written in English and should not exceed 12 pages. More details
available at http://www.acm-sigsim-pads.org/authorsInfo.htm#preparation
Short Papers: The ACM SIGSIM PADS organizing committee is soliciting short
papers to be presented at the conference. Short papers can be up to 4 pages
long, and should describe interesting, novel research that is in an early stage
of development or position papers of interest to the community. All short
papers will be fully reviewed and will be published in the conference
proceedings and included in the ACM Digital Library. At least one author is
required to attend the conference and present the work in a time slot of 10 to
15 minutes.
PhD Colloquium: ACM SIGSIM PADS also invites students to take part in the PhD
Colloquium and Poster Session at the 2017 ACM SIGSIM PADS. Travel awards are
available for students taking part. More details available at http://www.acm-sigsim-pads.org/PhDColloquiumAwardCall.htm
AUTHORS TAKE NOTE: The official publication date is the date the proceedings
are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks
prior to the first day of your conference. The official publication date
affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work. (For
those rare conferences whose proceedings are published in the ACM Digital
Library after the conference is over, the official publication date remains the
first day of the conference.)
