Call For Papers

WSC 2014 Call for Papers
December 7-10, Westin Savannah Harbor Resort
Savannah, GA, USA

The Winter Simulation Conference (WSC) is the premier international forum for disseminating recent advances in the field of dynamic systems modeling and simulation. In addition to a technical program of unsurpassed scope and quality, WSC provides the central meeting place for simulation practitioners, researchers and vendors. Research in modeling and simulation is propelled by fostering cross fertilization between various disciplines. The theme for WSC 2014 is “Exploring Big Data through Simulation.”

LOCATION
WSC 2014 will be held in Savannah, Georgia, at the Westin Savannah Harbor Golf Resort & Spa and the adjacent Savannah International Trade & Convention Center. The hotel and convention center are located on Hutchinson Island along the scenic Savannah River. Visitors can take a complimentary water ferry to explore Savannah’s landmark Historic District, where restaurants, shopping, boat tours, trolley tours and horse-drawn carriages are available.

KEYNOTE SPEAKERS
Robert Roser is the Plenary Keynote Speaker. Dr. Roser is the Scientific Computing Division Head at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, Batavia, Illinois. He will speak about the recently discovered Higgs Boson particle and the role of simulation in the discovery. He is one of the world’s leading experts on experimental particle physics.

Greg Tackett is the Military Track Keynote Speaker. Mr. Tackett is the Director of the Ballistic Missile Defense Evaluation Directorate (BMDED) and the Ballistic Missile Defense System Operational Test Agency (BMDS OTA), U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command, Redstone Arsenal, Alabama. Mr. Tackett has full technical and managerial responsibility for operational testing and evaluation of Missile Defense Administration (MDA) capabilities, including tactical and strategic ballistic and cruise missile defense.

TITANS OF SIMULATION
John Swanson is the founder of ANSYS, Inc., one of most successful simulation companies in the world. He is an authority and pioneer in the application of finite-element simulation methods to engineering.

Richard Fujimoto is a Professor and Chair of the Computational Science and Engineering Division of the College of Computing at the Georgia Institute of Technology. His research is concerned with the execution of discrete-event simulation programs on parallel and distributed computing platforms.

PROGRAM
WSC 2014 features a comprehensive program ranging from introductory tutorials to state-of-the-art research and practice. Planned tracks are:

Introductory Tutorials
