AIM OF ESM'2014

The ESM'2014 (The 28th annual European Simulation and Modelling  
Conference) is the original international European conference  
concerned with state of the art technology in modelling and  
simulation. ESM'2014 aims to provide an overview of academic research  
in the field of computer simulation. A number of major tracks of  
simulation research are presented next to specific workshops, which  
capture the art and science of present-day simulation research.

ESM'2014 consists of four major parts. A part concerns itself with  
simulation methodology, another with simulation applications, then  
there are the specialised workshops, the exhibition and last but not  
least the poster sessions for students.

The ESM conferences are indexed on ISI, IET (INSPEC), SCOPUS and  
Engineering Village

All submissions will be peer reviewed by at least three members of the  
International Program Committee. Accepted papers will be published in  
the conference Proceedings (both print and electronic format), that  
will be copyrighted and widely disseminated. All talks and tutorials,  
must be accompanied by a paper of between three to eight Proceedings  
pages.
Keynote and Invited Speakers

A number of keynotes will be invited. The first confirmed speaker is
Jerzy Respondek, Silesian University of Technology, AEI, Faculty,  
Dept. of Computer Science, Gliwice, Poland who will talk on "Tree data  
structures in the synthesis of effective computational algorithms with  
special focus on algorithms operating on the special matrices"

For more info and details see:

TUTORIALS

A first tutorial is already announced on
"How to use Quaternions on Modelling Rotations in 3d Space"
by Feliz Manuel Teixeira, FEUP- University of Porto, Porto, Portugal

Other tutorials can be proposed in the following three categories:
T1- Introductory tutorials
T2- State of the Art Tutorials
T3- Software and Modelware Tutorials
Tutorial proposals should be emailed to Philippe.Geril at eurosis.org  
before MAY 1ST.

POSTER SESSION

The poster session only features work in progress. Next to the
actual poster presentation, these submissions also feature as short  
papers in the Proceedings.

STUDENTS SESSION

This session is for students who want to present their work in
progress or part of their doctoral thesis as a paper. Student papers
are denoted by the fact that only the name of the student appears on
the paper as an author. They are published as short
papers in the Proceedings.

DIVERSE ACTIVITIES

For demonstrations or video sessions, please contact EUROSIS.
Special session will be set up for vendor presentations in co-
ordination with the scientific program. User Group meetings for
simulation languages and tools can be organised the day before the
conference. If you would like to arrange a meeting, please contact
the Conference Chairs. We will be happy to provide a meeting room
and other necessary equipment.
Partners for projects session(s) will be organised by EUROSIS to
give potential project teams or individuals the opportunity to
present their research in order to link up with fellow researchers
for future research projects. Those wishing to participate in this
session need to send a proposal to EUROSIS.
A EUROSIS TC Meeting and an EU Project update meeting

EXHIBITION

A special exhibition will be held during the conference focused on
industrial applications. For more information please contact EUROSIS for
further details. Email: Philippe.Geril at eurosis.org
