Call for papers for SIMS 2003
Malardalen University together with the SIMS
and MoSiS is arranging SIMS 2003 - 44th
Conference on Simulation and Modeling on September 18 -19, 2003 in Västerås,
Sweden. The aim of this conference is to cover broad aspects of modeling and
simulation and scientific computation. It will thus be of interest for model
builders, simulator personnel, scientists, engineers, vendors, etc. The
scientific program will consist of technical sessions with submitted and invited
papers, and is open for poster sessions and vendor demonstrations.
Presented papers will be considered for publication in the Journal
"Simulation News Europe"
or "Simulation Practice and
Theory"
Especially Ph.D. students are encouraged to contribute with papers according
to the conference themes.
Proceedings
Proceedings have ISBN number: ISBN 91-631-4716-5.

Paper Submission:
Authors must submit extended abstracts (at least 1.5 pages) or draft papers
(maximum 6 pages) as a single PDF (Portable Document Format) or PS (Postscript)
file (ZIP compression is encouraged in this case). Please, submit the
papers as e-mail attachments to the Secretariat to the address erik.dahlquist@mdh.se.
A recommended paper format is available here: http://www.scansims.org/sims2003/format.htm
Demonstrations and Exhibition:
An Exposition for books, commercial simulation programs and small-scaled
experimental equipment used for simulation purposes will be held in conjunction
with the Conference to provide an opportunity for organizations to display their
products or services to Conference delegates. Fur further details, please,
contact the Conference Secretariat.
Special exhibition pages will be opened closer to the Conference dates.
Venue:
SIMS will take place at Malardalen University in Vasteras,Sweden. There are a
high number of direct flights from all over the world to Stockholm (Arlanda),from
where there is a bus taking1h 30 min or you can take a taxi (1h 10 minutes). The
flight connections between Vasteras and Copenhagen ,Gotenburg, London and Oslo
are also quite good.
The conference will be held in autumn, which is one of the most beautiful
seasons. If the weather is fine a tour at Lake Malaren is a nice experience.
Vasteras is an attractive, high-quality conference city. It is known for
high-level technology expertise and rapid growth with 130 000 inhabitants.
Vasteras hosts a well-known science park, which is one of the fastest growing in
Europe. The university has 13000 students equally distributed between the two neighboring
cities Vasteras and Eskilstuna on opposite sides of lake Malaren. See web pages http://www.vasteras.se
and http://www.mdh.se
Important Dates:
- Submission of extended abstracts or draft papers - June 8, 2003
- Notification of acceptance - June 22, 2003
- Submission of full papers (assuming that extended abstract has been accepted)
- July 18, 2003
- Reviewers feedback and recommendations - August 7, 2003
