The Winter
Simulation Conference (WSC) is the premier international forum for
disseminating recent advances in the field of system simulation.
In addition to a technical program of unsurpassed scope and quality,
WSC provides the central meeting place for simulation practitioners,
researchers, and vendors working in all disciplines in industrial,
governmental, military, and academic sectors. The theme for WSC
2008 is "Global Gateway to Discovery".
LOCATION: WSC 2008 will
be held in vibrant Miami, Florida at the InterContinental Hotel,
December 7th-10th. Overlooking Biscayne Bay, the InterContinental
is a luxurious international destination located in the heart of
the "Gateway to the Americas". The hotel is minutes from
South Beach, Coconut Grove, and Coral Gables, and 7.5 miles from
Miami International Airport. Bayside Marketplace, with more than
200 shops, restaurants, and clubs, is a 5 minute walk. The hotel
features 641 luxurious rooms with views of the Miami skyline and
Biscayne Bay, high speed internet access, a heated outdoor pool,
modern fitness center and three restaurants.
KEYNOTE SPEAKER: Margaret
Brandeau, Stanford University Professor of Management Science and
Engineering will present a talk entitled "Modeling and Simulation
in Public Health: A Little Help can Go A Long Way". Professor
Brandeau has published numerous articles in areas of applied operations
research and policy analysis, has co-edited the books Modeling
the AIDS Epidemic: Planning, Policy, and Prediction and Operations
Research in Health: A Handbook of Methods and Applications.
Her HIV research focuses on using mathematical and economic models
to assess the value of different HIV and drug abuse interventions,
both in the U.S. and abroad. Her recent research has focused on
preparedness planning for potential bioterror attacks, including
modeling and analysis of the bioterrorism response supply chain.
PROGRAM: WSC 2008 features
a comprehensive program ranging from introductory tutorials to state-of-the-art
research and practice. WSC 2008 will also incorporate the MASM (Modeling
and Analysis for Semiconductor Manufacturing) Conference, the leading
modeling and analysis conference for global semiconductor manufacturing
and supply chain operations. MASM will feature an international
panel discussion titled "Modeling and Analysis of Semiconductor
Manufacturing in a Shrinking World: Challenges and Successes".
As part of the conference theme of 'Global Gateway to Discovery',
WSC 2008 will feature a track titled 'Simulation Around the World',
highlighting the uses of simulation in different global regions.
Contributions to the technical program are solicited in the following
general areas, and papers in all areas of discrete-event and combined
discrete-event/continuous simulation will be considered:
Advanced Tutorials
Analysis Methodology
Business Process Modeling
Case Studies
Construction and Project Management
General Applications
Health Care
Introductory Tutorials
Logistics, Transportation and Distribution |
Manufacturing Applications
Military Applications
Modeling Methodology
Risk Analysis
Security and Emergency Response
Simulation Around the World
Simulation Education
Semiconductor Manufacturing (MASM2008)
Simulation Interoperability |
PAPER
DEADLINES AND REQUIREMENTS: All contributed paper submissions
will be peer reviewed. Accepted papers will be published
in the CD-ROM versions of the conference proceedings, which will
be copyrighted and widely disseminated. A paper must accompany all
presentations and tutorials except those in the Vendor/Exhibitor
track, the Simulation Case Studies track, the Poster Session, and
the Ph.D. Colloquium. Instructions, information, submission forms
and procedures are available on this website. Please note the following
important deadlines:
- April 15, 2008:
Electronically submit contributed papers not previously published
or presented. Each submission must be a 3- to 9-page paper, including
an abstract of not more than 150 words. Panel papers and papers
in the tutorials tracks may be up to 12 pages. Submission implies
that an author will attend WSC '08 to present the paper, and all
clearance required for publication of the paper will be obtained
by July 15, 2008. Use of one of the following formats is required:
Microsoft Word or LaTeX. Submissions must be made through this
website.
- June 5, 2008: Contributors will be notified
whether or not their paper has been accepted.
- July 17, 2008: Authors electronically
provide a final manuscript meeting all requirements to the Proceedings
Editor.
- September 14, 2008: Deadline to electronically
submit abstracts for Simulation Case Studies (submission form
available August 1), as well as abstracts for presentations in
the Poster Session and Ph.D. Student Colloquium. Simulation Case
Studies require involvement from an industrial sponsor.
- Ph.D. Student Colloquium: The INFORMS
Simulation Society and the ACM Special Interest Group on Simulation
invite Ph.D. students to present short research summaries on Sunday
afternoon, December 7, 2008. Colloquium presenters also participate
in the Poster Session. Nominations for the Ph.D. Colloquium will
be solicited in Fall 2008.
For additional information, please
contact the General Chair, Tom Jefferson, at thomas.jefferson@intel.com
or the Program Chair, John Fowler, at john.fowler@asu.edu.
WSC '08 is sponsored by ACM/SIGSIM, ASA,
IEEE/SMC, IIE, INFORMS-SIM, NIST, and SCS.
