The 2009 Summer Computer Simulation Conference (SCSC’09) is a premier international forum and annual conference sponsored by The Society for Modeling and Simulation International which covers state-of-the-art developments in computer simulation methodologies, technologies, as well as scientific, industrial, and business applications.

 

SCSC’09 features a comprehensive program ranging from introductory tutorials to state of the art research and practice. SCSC’09 includes keynote speeches presented by technology and industry leaders, technical sessions, professional development courses and seminars, poster presentations; as well as vendor exhibits. Papers and proposals for panels, tutorials, workshops, seminars, exhibits, other technical are solicited. All contributed papers will be peer reviewed.  Papers should be submitted electronically to http://www.softconf.com/scs/SCSC09/ Final version of all the papers should comply with the SCS conference format. The best contributed paper will be given an award sponsored by ACM SIGSIM. A selected group of full papers will be published in the special issue of the  Simulation Journal.
