Table of Content

Papers are invited on any aspect of modelling and simulation to be presented at a three day event to be held in Cambridge, England. The conference venue is Emmanuel College, Cambridge. The accommodation, renowned catering and conference facilities are an ideal blend of modern and historic. The venue offers an especially attractive opportunity for both professional discussion and socialising.

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):

Simulation methodology and practice, languages, tools and techniques. Models and modelling tools. Data/object bases. Analytical and statistical tools. Simulators and simulation hardware, training simulators. 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. 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 £290. 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 £100, reduced from £190, 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 Brentnall (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 December 2007.

Accommodation in College: graduates from Cambridge colleges go on to become world leaders, prime ministers, parliamentarians and top civil servants. Share the experience of living-in by staying in college rooms. An all inclusive full board 3 day package is available for £265, single occupancy. This includes evening meal on Monday, all meals/conference dinner on Tuesday and Wednesday (including conference pre-dinner reception), and breakfast and lunch on Thursday. For those wishing to eat outside, a Bed & Breakfast 3 day package is available at £155 single occupancy. A limited number of en-suite rooms is also available on full board basis at £315 for a 3 day package, single occupancy. Booking and pre-payment is essential, see EDAS Registration.

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 EUROSIM and UK Simulation Society and is co-sponsored by

-        IEEE UK &RI Computer Chapter

-        EUROSIM

-        European Council for Modelling & Simulation

-        Society for Computer Simulation Int. (SCS)- Europe.

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.

Paper Submission: EUROSIM/UKSim2008 is using EDAS for submission and registration, authors need to:

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.
