Papers are invited on any aspect of modelling and simulation, to be presented at a three day conference in Liverpool, the 2008 European City of Culture. As in the first meeting in September 2006 at University College London, this conference and its series is specifically intended post-doc and young researchers from the greater Europe (and beyond). Authors will have their submissions reviewed by international experts and accepted papers will be published by the IEEE in their Digital Library for unparalleled worldwide presence.  The event provides authors with an outstanding opportunity for networking and presenting their work at an international conference.  The location offers an especially attractive opportunity for professional discussion, socialising and sightseeing. Future annual conferences will be held in continental Europe where the series is intended to complement other simulation events.

 

Full Paper (six pages of A4 with figures) are invited on any aspect of modelling, simulation and their applications.

 

Suggested topics (other topics are also welcome): Integration of simulation with concurrent engineering, integrated design and simulation systems. AI, intelligent systems, agent-based simulation, decision support systems, philosophical issues, analogies, metaphors, knowledge modelling, acquisition and synthesis of new knowledge/models, intelligent/adaptive behaviour, man/machine interaction, control systems. Modelling and simulation methodology, practice, languages, tools and techniques. Data/object bases. Analytical and statistical tools. Simulators and simulation hardware, training simulators. Parallel and distributed simulation, discrete event systems. Artificial neural networks, computational intelligence.

  

Applications: aerospace; remote sensing; electronic circuits and systems; communication and networks; business; management; finance; economics; leisure, games, war/conflict/rebellion modelling; psychology, cognitive functions, behaviour, emotion, subjectivity; humanities, literature, semantics modelling/dynamics; biology; medicine; public health; energy, power generation and distribution, manufacturing; planning; control; robotics; measurement; monitoring; energy; safety critica1 systems; transportation; structural mechanics and civil engineering, oil and gas; education and training; military.

 

Exhibitors: manufacturers of software and hardware, publishers, etc., are invited to apply to exhibit their products.

Accepted papers will be published by IEEE. Selected papers will be considered for publication in the International Journal of Simulation: Systems, Science & Technology.

The registration fee is £250. This will include a copy of the proceedings, refreshments and lunch. Discounted rates are available to student authors (see below).

STUDENT SPONSORSHIP: A number of discounted registration-fees of £140, a discount of £70, reduced from £210, are available for high-equality ‘student’ papers, i.e. papers whose first author is enrolled on a recognised postgraduate taught or research programme as verified by an electronic letter from his project supervisor emailed to Dr Tawfik (conference program chair). Authors who wish their papers to be considered for such reduction must include the term ‘Student Paper’ in a separate line before the title on the first page. Notification will be with paper acceptance on the 15th May 2008.

 

Accommodation at University: To be announced.

Submission Guidelines

You are invited to submit:
- full paper of 6 pages (A4 format) for oral presentation,

- two page summary (A4 format) for poster presentation,

- proposal to organize a technical session and/or workshop.

Submissions must be original, unpublished work containing new and interesting results that demonstrate current research in all areas of modelling and simulation and their applications in science, technology, business and commerce. The proceedings of the Conference will be published by the IEEE Computer Society. The conference is jointly organised by Asia Modelling and Simulation Society and UK Simulation Society and is co-sponsored by

 

-        IEEE UK &RI Computer Chapter

-        EUROSIM

-        European Council for Modelling & Simulation

-        Asia Modelling and Simulation Society

 

Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper. All papers are to be submitted electronically,- see full instructions under Paper Submission below, in PDF or Word format. All papers will be peer reviewed by at least three independent referees of the international program committee of EMS2008.

 

IEEE Author Kit URL for CR & online copyright form: emailed to registered authors.

A minimum of one registration fee is payable for each paper accepted.

When the final version of the paper is uploaded one of the authors should be nominated to attend the conference and present the paper. If this is not done then the organising committee will assume that the first author is the nominated author. The status of the nominated author will determine the registration fee that is payable for that paper. If additional authors wish to attend (and they are not the nominated author for another paper) then an additional registration fee is payable for each such author.

Each attendee must pay the registration fee appropriate to their own status.
