CALL for PAPERS
SYMPOSIUM ON THEORY OF MODELING AND SIMULATION (TMS/DEVS 2014)

April 13-16, 2014
Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay, Tampa, FL, USA.

http://www.tms-devs.org  


Sponsored by
The Society for Modeling and Simulation International (SCS)
Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society (pending)
in cooperation with ACM/SIGSIM and ICST 

The purpose of this symposium is to provide a forum to discuss recent 
advancements in M&S theory. 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'14 symposia participants in different fields. 

All papers will be included in the conference proceedings and archived
in the ACM DL and SCOPUS and listed in DBLP.
