30 MARCH - 1 APRIL 2020

Burleigh Court Conference Centre, Loughborough University, Loughborough LE11
3TD

Held in cooperation with: The INFORMS Simulation Society

A celebratory 10th "anniversary" of the Simulation Workshop

The OR Society's Simulation Workshop is a biannual conference that brings
together practitioners and academics working in the field of modelling &
simulation. It provides an opportunity to exchange ideas on the current and
future state-of-the-art in modelling and simulation. The programme consists
of two keynote presentations, panel discussion, introductory/advanced
tutorials and parallel streams. Breaks between sessions and the conference
dinner provide an excellent opportunity for networking. The exhibition area
includes poster displays and some of the latest developments in simulation
software tools.

LOCATION

SW20 is hosted at Burleigh Court Conference Centre & hotel, located in
Loughborough University's campus in the town of Loughborough. Loughborough
University is No.1 University for sport. Its exceptional sporting facilities
play host to world-class athletes from across the world. 

Loughborough University is easily accessible by road, rail and air. Just one
mile from J23 M1, 8 miles from East Midlands Airport and 90 mins from London
St. Pancras. Loughborough is located in the heart of England where north
meets south and it is surrounded by some fantastic countryside. The town is
close to a variety of tourist attractions such as the Peak District,
Sherwood Forest and the National Space Centre. Close by is Bradgate Park
(dating from at least 1240) with roaming herds of red and fallow deer that
will be forever associated with the Lady Jane Grey, England's 'Queen for
Nine Days'.

THE PROGRAMME

The workshop will include plenary sessions, special focus streams,
introductory/advanced tutorials and posters. Contributions to the technical
programme are sought in the following areas, although papers in any area of
simulation modelling and analysis will be considered.
