ACM SIGSIM Conference on Principles of Advanced Discrete Simulation (PADS)

SIGSIM PADS solicits high quality papers dealing with cutting-edge research that lies at the intersection of computer science and modeling and simulation, including (but not restricted to) the following areas:

• Advanced modeling techniques, and their execution using novel simulation algorithms

• Agent-based modeling and simulation,

• Algorithms and methods for parallel or distributed simulation, including synchronization, scheduling, memory management, and load balancing.

• Applications of large-scale or distributed simulation methods.

• Development of advanced simulation engines

• Distributed simulation.

• GPU, FPGA and hybrid architecture acceleration.

• Integration of simulation with other IT systems, including automatic simulation model generation and initialization and simulation based decision-making.

• Mechanisms for efficient design of experiments.

• Modeling and Simulation applied to solve problems in previously difficult or impossible domains.

• Online and symbiotic simulation.

• Parallel algorithms and high performance simulation.

• Real-Time and Embedded Simulation

• Simulation as emulation of real systems.

• Simulation visualization techniques.

• Techniques for constructing scalable simulations.

• Tools and techniques for interoperability of simulations.
