		             CALL FOR PAPERS

       SYMPOSIUM ON THEORY OF MODELING AND SIMULATION (TMS/DEVS 2012)

           March 26-29, 2012, The Florida Hotel, Orlando, FL, USA.

                	  http://www.tms-devs.org


                               Sponsored by
           The Society for Modeling and Simulation International

              in cooperation with ACM/SIGSIM and ICST (pending)


The purpose of this symposium is to provide a forum to discuss recent
advancements in Theory of M&S. The main focus is on theory of modeling,
methodology, practice and software to cope with the challenges arising
out of these, as well as lessons learned and challenges. The Symposium
bridges different areas in the field of Theory of M&S, including formal
modeling, model-checking, graph transformation, modeling methodologies.
It also provides an opportunity to exchange ideas with other SpringSim'12
symposia participants in different fields.

All papers will be included in the conference proceedings and archived in
both the the ACM and EU Digital Libraries.
