*** Due to the Coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak, the conference will be organized ONLINE ***

Considering the current situation related to Coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak, the Organizing Committee of SummerSim2020 has decided that the conference will run as a virtual conference (i.e., using remote audio/video support) and not as an in-person event. The authors will be required to present their paper remotely during the conference days (20-22 July 2020). Attendees will still be able to enjoy the presentations and interact with the authors remotely. We will communicate the details of the specific audio/video tools via the conference website. Registration will still be required for all authors and conference attendees. Also, the conference submission deadline is extended to May 4, 2020.

The 2020 Summer Simulation Conference (SummerSim’20), is a premier annual international conference by The Society for Modeling and Simulation International (SCS). SummerSim’20 focuses on modeling and simulation, tools, theory, methodologies and applications and provides a forum for the latest R&D results in academia and industry. The conference invites original contributions to the theory and practice of modeling and simulation in any scientific or engineering discipline. The conference includes keynote speeches presented by technology and industry leaders, technical sessions, professional development tutorials, as well as vendor exhibits. Scientists, engineers, managers, educators, and business professionals who develop or use M&S methodologies and tools are invited to participate and present original contributions. The technical proceedings of SCS will be listed in the ACM and IEEE digital libraries.
