SummerSim is SCS's premier international conference in cooperation with ACM SIGSIM. The conference focuses on modeling and simulation, tools, theory, methodologies and applications and provides a forum for the latest R&D results in academia and industry. This year's focus is on the Role of Simulation Tools, Methodologies and Technologies in Scalable and Interoperable Cyber-Physical Systems and Interdisciplinary Issues for a Connected Word.
