Call for Poster Session, Ph.D. Colloquium, and Case Studies
The Winter Simulation Conference (WSC) is the premier international forum for disseminating recent advances in the field of dynamic systems modeling and simulation. In addition to a technical program of unsurpassed scope and quality, WSC provides the central meeting place for simulation practitioners, researchers, and vendors. Research in modeling and simulation is propelled by fostering cross fertilization between various disciplines. The theme for WSC 2016 is Simulating Complex Service Systems. This theme emphasizes the increasingly complex engineered and human systems in highly connected environments, the availability of data to help us model such systems, technological advances which continue to push the limits of computation, and conceptual and mathematical advances which help us to make sense of complex systems. These forces enable more informed decisions. For additional information on the conference and the planned tracks, visit www.wintersim.org.
Submissions are now open for the Poster Session, Ph.D. Colloquium, and Case Studies track, which provide background on established and new methods, tools, and application domains.
POSTER SESSION and Ph.D. COLLOQUIUM INFORMATION
Participation is limited to one or the other; submission to both the Poster Session and the Ph.D. Colloquium is not allowed this year; see the Ph.D. Colloquium page on the WSC website for colloquium options.
August 15, 2016: Deadline to electronically submit 2-page extended abstracts for presentations in the Poster Session or Ph.D. Colloquium. Submissions must be made through the WSC website, www.wintersim.org. Extended abstracts are used for designing the tracks but are not peer reviewed parts of the proceedings.
September 19, 2016: Notification of acceptance to authors (including details about submitting slides, and formats of the posters).
October 3, 2016: Final extended abstracts due.
October 24, 2016: Slides for the presentation is due (see guidelines in the track information).
December 11, 2016: Bring your poster to the WSC 2016. The Poster Madness Session and Ph.D. Colloquium both run on Sunday, December 11, so participation in both is not possible.
CASE STUDY INFORMATION
The Case Studies track provides an excellent opportunity for professionals across all industries to share real world simulation projects. Attending and speaking in this track will not only allow you to share your work, but it also provides an excellent opportunity for networking and learning how others are using simulation in their industries. Summarize the project in a short, 2-page extended abstract and submit it to the Case Studies track. If the case study is selected, it will appear in the final program of WSC, on the WSC Archive website and the author will give a 30-minute presentation at this year’s conference in Washington, DC. The abstract should, at a minimum, describe the problem, the simulation methods used, the results, and the impact/benefits of the project.
