*Call for Papers*
*2018 Winter Simulation Multi-Conference (WinterSim 2018)*
*December 9-12, The Swedish Exhibition & Congress Center,*
*Gothenburg, Sweden*

*Conference Theme: *
*Simulation for a Noble Cause! *
*WSC 2018 focus is on highlighting the use of simulation for noble causes!*
Simulation has been found useful for a range of scientific, engineering and
business applications as evident by the papers presented at Winter
Simulation Conferences over the past 50 years. Simulation has been
employed to help noble causes too over the recent past but such efforts
have received limited attention. The 2018 conference seeks to highlight
applications of simulation for noble causes in addition to continuing to
report leading developments and applications in other fields. We
especially invite papers describing uses of simulation in efforts analyzing
and addressing issues facing humanity including, but not limited to,
reducing poverty and world hunger, social causes, social problems,
improving natural environment, and disaster response.
