Simulation: Transactions of the Society for Modeling and Simulation International
Special Issue: Theory and Foundations of Modeling and Simulation (S20-1)
Call for Papers
This Special Issue of the SIMULATION Journal aims at highlighting the most recent advances in Theory and Foundations of Modeling and Simulation.
The main focus is on Modeling and Simulation concepts, methods, methodology, practice, and toolkits, as well as related lessons learned and challenges.
The authors should advance on the state-of-the-art in Modeling & Simulation theory, methodologies, practice, and lessons learned. Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Modeling & Simulation Formalisms (Agents, DEVS, Petri nets, Statecharts, etc.)
- Model Composition, Hybrid Modeling Languages, Multi-Modal Modeling
- Multi-Paradigm & Multi-Domain Modeling, Multi-Resolution & Multi-Scale Modeling
- Modular Hybrid, Spatially Distributed, and Ultra Large-Scale Systems
- Formal Analysis and Symbolic Reasoning
- Model Checking, Formalism-Based Model Debugging, Model Transformation
- Embedded, IoT, and Fog Computing Systems
- Parallel, Distributed, Real-Time, Cloud-Based, and Interactive Simulation
- Co-simulation, Interoperability, Simulation Languages, Numerical Solvers
- Simulation and Model Development Visualization Tools
- Model Libraries, Repositories, and Data Formats
The authors can focus on high-impact innovations in the application of Theory of Modeling and Simulation to concepts, methods, applications, toolkits and environments, promoting advances in all facets of M&S that lead to novel solutions in existing and emerging complex problem domains derived from the Theory.
