[IISE Faculty List] Call for Papers: Simulation in Education Track - 2025 Winter Simulation Conference

[Ashour, Omar]

Dear Colleagues,



We would like to invite you to share your creative works in the Simulation
in Education track of the 2025 Winter Simulation Conference (WSC'25), which
will be held December 7-10 in Seattle, Washington. WSC is the premier
modeling and simulation conference providing a high-quality outlet for
papers discussing all aspects related to simulation research, application,
and education. The papers will be published in ACM and IEEE Digital
proceedings. The full description of the Simulation in Education track is
provided below along with the submission deadlines. For more information,
please visit the conference website

Also, please forward this email to your colleagues who may be interested.



*Important Dates:*

*April 4, 2025:* Paper submission deadline for contributed papers.

*April 25, 2025:* Paper submission deadline for Invited papers. Feel free
to send an email to the track co-chairs with the abstract of your paper to
assess whether your paper can be included as part of the Invited Papers.



*Simulation in Education Track Description*

The Simulation in Education track aims to share pedagogical, andragogical,
and didactic approaches that employ or promote the use of simulation in
education. These approaches could utilize technology-enhanced environments
(e.g., video games, simulations, mixed reality, pervasive computing),
non-technology environments/approaches (e.g., Lego simulations and
role-play), or a combination of both. The track is focused on educators and
trainers who are interested in incorporating simulations into classrooms
and/or training programs to educate the next generation of scientists,
engineers, healthcare professionals, artists, humanists, and social
scientists.



The track also covers teaching and learning methods for developing modeling
and simulation skills. All learning delivery modes and situations are of
interest, i.e., in-person vs remote learning, formal vs informal learning,
K-12, higher education, professional training, continuing education, adult
learning, etc.



The track seeks work from all disciplines including but not limited to
engineering, science, medicine, arts, humanities, and social sciences. The
sessions in this track will cover a wide range of topics including but not
limited to:

   - The design and development of simulation methods
   - Teaching, learning, and assessment approaches for simulation education
   - Use of technology and immersive environments in education (virtual
   reality, augmented reality, mixed reality, video games, artificial
   intelligence, etc.)
   - Best practices and case studies of using simulation in education
   - New tools and techniques for using simulation in education
   - Challenges in implementing simulation in education
   - Hands-on workshops or demonstrations of simulation software packages
   - Simulation-based and experiential learning
