SIMUTools 2010

Third ICST International Conference
on Simulation Tools and Techniques
Sponsored by ICST and Create-Net

March 15-19, 2010 - Malaga, Spain

Call for Workshops
------------------------
SIMUTools 2010 is the Third International Conference on Simulation Tools
and Techniques. The aim of the conference is to bring academic and industry
researchers together with practitioners (from both the simulation community
and from the numerous simulation user communities). The conference will
address current and future trends in simulation techniques, models and
practices, and foster interdisciplinary collaborative research in this area.
While the main focus of the conference is on simulation tools, the
conference also encourages the submission of broader theoretical and
practical research contributions.

We invite proposals for one-day workshops that are to be held in conjunction
with the main conference and are intended to complement it. Example topics
of interest for prospective workshops may address the use of simulation in
a given context (e.g., system production, software engineering,
collaborative environments, virtual reality, etc.) or in a given application
domain (e.g., healthcare, manufacturing, transportation, automotive, etc.),
as well as specific simulation tools and methodologies (see, e.g., the
ongoing workshops on NS3 and Omnet++).

Prospective workshop organizers may combine these and other topics into a
coherent theme and set up a workshop proposal that includes the following
information:
- Title of the proposed workshop (full name and short name)
- Profile of workshop organizers (including affiliations, contact info and
brief biography)
- Theme of the workshop and topics of interest, and how these relate to the
main conference
- Tentative list of Program Committee members
- Description of the submission and revision procedure
- Preliminary Call for Papers
- Expected number of accepted papers
- Expected number of attendees
- Estimated time schedules

Workshop proposals (max two pages) should be submitted to
workshops@simutools.org by the deadline below.

Prospective workshop organizers may contact the workshop chair at the same
email address for expression of interests and content appropriateness at
any time.

The organizers of accepted workshops will be responsible for:
- building and updating the workshop web site
- getting sponsorships (optional)
- soliciting papers
- coordinating reviews (at least three reviews per submission are required)
- corresponding with the authors and the organizers of the main conference
- adhering to the proceedings publication procedure and constraints
- participating to the workshop (at least one organizer has to attend)
