[Iefac.list] Call for papers--Simulation in Manufacturing

[McGinnis, Leon F]

Colleagues,


Christoph Laroque and I are chairing the Manufacturing Applications track at the Winter Simulation Conference this December in Gothenburg, Sweden, and we invite you to submit a paper for consideration.


>From our academic colleagues, we are hopeful to learn about uses of simulation in evaluating new decision support methods and tools.  This could address manufacturing system design stage, production planning, operational control, or other manufacturing system related decisions.  It also could address the improvement of products with regard to manufacturability, productivity, logistics, or other concerns.


>From our colleagues in practice, we are hopeful to learn about how simulation is used to make manufacturing systems faster, better, and smarter.  We are particularly interested in contributions that explore "better" in a broader context of environmental and social concerns.  Please note in the call the "case study" description.


The details of the call for papers is attached, including deadlines.  Please consider contributing.


If you are interested but have questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.  If you intend to submit a paper, please also let me know (but please do not "reply all"!).

Call for Papers

2018 Winter Simulation Multi-Conference (WinterSim 2018)

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.
