[IISE Faculty List] Call for Papers: "Simulation Around the World" Track in WSC 2023

[Krejci, Caroline]

The Winter Simulation Conference 2023 (https://meetings.informs.org/wordpress/wsc2023/) features a comprehensive program ranging from introductory tutorials to state-of-the-art research and practice. This year, WSC 2023 features a new track, "Simulation Around the World" (SATW), whose primary goal is to broaden outreach to researchers in:

1)      Geographical regions that are historically underrepresented in WSC (e.g., South America and Africa);1 or

2)      Countries where travel is prohibited or challenging due to exceptional national circumstances such as war or disaster but excluding COVID-related restrictions.
If accepted to the SATW track, registration for presenting authors will be free. In addition, accepted applicants will be able to remotely present their research in one of the SATW sessions and attend other sessions in the same track virtually. Presentations will be given in a synchronous hybrid fashion, with live audience participation from in-person attendees of the conference.
