Simulation Conference 2025 will look to the future and consider Simulation in
2050 and beyond. We invite papers that emphasize the latest advances in
simulation theory and applications showcasing both the current state-of-the-art
and what our field will look like in 2050 and beyond. We particularly encourage
current applications that showcase simulation excellence in a wide range of
domains, including but not limited to aviation, disaster response, education,
energy, finance, healthcare, infrastructure, manufacturing, national security,
space systems, and supply chains, as well as what the future of simulation
might be in these application areas.<span></span></span></p>

Simulation Conference 2025 will continue the tradition of including
pre-conference workshops, introductory and advanced tutorials, commercial case
studies, poster sessions, and the Ph.D. Colloquium. WSC 2025 will include an
online only participation option through the Simulation around the World track,
which brings together remotely delivered presentations from all parts of the
globe, as well as limited access to other tracks. The conference will also host
the 21st International Conference on Modeling & Analysis of Semiconductor
Manufacturing (MASM). WSC 2025 will showcase professional development
opportunities, a Simulation Challenge for teams to compete on an industrial
case study, and the Simulation Exploration Experience that focuses on the
application of simulation in space.<span></span></span></p>
