The 2017 Spring Simulation Multi-Conference (SpringSim'17) is an annual conference sponsored by The Society for Modeling and Simulation International which covers state-of-the-art developments in computer simulation technologies, as well as scientific, industrial, and business applications. Areas covered include high-performance computing technologies, models and algorithms, GUI visualization technologies, communications, and much more. Application disciplines covered include advanced telecommunication, computer systems, aviation and aerospace, environment, energy, and other industries. The conference includes keynote speeches presented by technology and industry leaders, technical sessions, professional development tutorials and seminars, as well as vendor exhibits. Scientists, engineers, managers, educators, and business professionals who develop or use computer simulation methodologies and tools are invited to participate and present original papers. Proposals are solicited for papers, posters, panels, tutorials, workshops, seminars, exhibits, social activities and for other presentation, discussion and sponsorship formats. People are always welcome to benefit by taking an organizing role. SpringSim'17 offers many ways to promote simulation products and to enhance corporate images. You are invited to use the Spring Simulation Multi-Conference in ways that best serve your interests.

Submission Guidelines
Original and high-quality technical papers are solicited for review, possible presentation and subsequent publication in the conference proceedings. For further instructions, please refer to the Submission Instructions in the SCS Conference Proceedings Management System web site. Contributed papers should be 8 pages long. They will be peer reviewed and – if accepted and presented at the conference - submitted to the ACM Digital Library. Papers must not have appeared before (or be pending) in a journal or conference with published proceedings, nor may they be under review or submitted to another forum during SpringSim’17 review process. At least one author of an accepted paper must register for the symposium and must present the paper at the symposium.

Workshops Proposition
A Call for Workshops is open (see important dates), to raise visibility on topics of focused interest in a particular scientific or applications area. Workshops are held as a part of a Symposium. Proposals for special Workshops should be submitted by email to the corresponding Symposium Chair with a copy to the Program Chair: Andrea D’Ambrogio.
