CALL FOR PAPERS

THE OR SOCIETY 7th SIMULATION WORKSHOP (SW14)

Website: www.theorsociety.com/SW14

1-2 APRIL 2014

The Abbey Hotel, Golf and Country Club, Worcestershire, B98 9BE, UK

Held in cooperation with: 
The INFORMS Simulation Society 

The biennial OR Society Simulation Workshop brings together practitioners
and academics working in the field of discrete-event simulation and related
fields. It provides an opportunity to exchange ideas on the current and
future state-of-the-art in simulation and modelling. The programme consists
of a key note presentation, panel discussion and parallel streams. Breaks
between sessions and the conference dinner provide an excellent opportunity
for networking. The exhibition area includes poster display and some of the
latest developments in simulation software tools.

LOCATION

The Abbey Hotel Golf and Country Club is situated in Worcestershire, England
on a lovely 175-acre estate that once belonged to the now ruined local
abbey. It provides an excellent standard of accommodation and conference
venue. There are also leisure facilities and a championship standard Golf
Course.

The hotel is near to Birmingham, which has excellent links through the
International Airport and railway services. London is only 1.5 hours away.

Local attractions include Stratford-upon-Avon (Shakespeare's birthplace) and
Warwick's Medieval Castle.

THE PROGRAMME

The workshop will include plenary sessions, special focus streams,
simulation practice sessions and posters. Contributions to the technical
programme are sought in the following areas, although papers in any area of
discrete-event simulation will be considered.

Simulation Modelling Methodology

.   Component based simulation

.   Collaboration methods

.   Distributed simulation

.   Web based simulation

.   Simulation and the grid

.   Simulation and artificial intelligence

.   Simulation visualisation

.   Simulation software

.   Simulation standards

.   Human performance modelling

.   Agent-based simulation

.   Service-oriented simulation

.   Conceptual modelling

.   Verification and Validation

Simulation Analysis Methodology

.   Design and analysis of simulation experiments

.   Simulation optimisation

.   Risk Analysis

.   Metamodelling

Simulation in Practice

.   Simulation in manufacturing

.   Simulation in services

.   Simulation in defence

.   Simulation in healthcare

.   Simulation in semiconductor industry

.   Simulation practice

.   Simulation education

.   Energy modelling

.   Environmental simulation

.   Supply chain and transportation modelling

All submissions will be peer reviewed. Accepted papers will be published in
the conference proceedings and will be presented at the conference.
Presentations will be given 30 minutes including time for questions and
answers.

The Simulation Practice Stream provides an opportunity to submit a shorter
paper (3 to 5 pages). These papers should either describe a novel
application of simulation or provide some insight into how the use of
simulation might be improved. Contributions from simulation practitioners
are particularly encouraged.

Posters of applied or research projects in Simulation, will be displayed
during the conference. A poster session is provided where delegates have 1
minute to briefly introduce their work.

TIMETABLE AND DEADLINES

1 November 2013: Submit electronically contributed papers not previously
published or presented. Submission instructions will be found soon at
www.theorsociety.com/SW14. Each submission must be a 4-10 page paper (3-5
pages for the Simulation in Practice Stream), including an abstract of less
than 150 words.

Submission implies that an author will attend the workshop to present the
paper, and all clearance required for publication of the paper will be
obtained by 14 February, 2014. 

10 January 2014: Contributors will be notified whether or not their paper
has been accepted.    

14 February 2014: Authors provide the final manuscript for inclusion in the
conference proceedings. These should be in the format required for the
conference. Author instructions will be available soon at
www.theorsociety.com/SW14.

14 February 2014: Submit poster title and abstract of 150 words.  These
should be submitted using the electronic submission form for full
contributed papers.  Submission implies that an author will register to the
conference.  Posters abstracts will be published in the conference
proceedings and should follow the guidelines for conference papers.

If you require any further information on paper or poster submission, please
