The Winter Simulation Conference
(WSC) is the premier international forum for disseminating recent
advances in the field of system simulation. In ad-dition 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 2009 is "Energy Alternatives."
LOCATION: WSC 2009 will
be held in exciting Austin, Texas at the Hilton Austin Hotel, December
13th-16th. The Hilton Austin hotel is located in downtown Austin,
one block from the city's famous Sixth Street nightlife and a short
