http://www.scs.org/confernc/summersim/summersim09/cfp/summersim09.htm ,

the 2009 Summer Computer Simulation Conference (SCSC'09) is a premier
international forum and annual conference sponsored by The Society for
Modeling and Simulation International which covers state-of-the-art
developments in computer simulation methodologies, technologies, as well
as scientific, industrial, and business applications.


SCSC'09 features a comprehensive program ranging from introductory
tutorials to state of the art research and practice. SCSC'09 includes
keynote speeches presented by technology and industry leaders, technical
sessions, professional development courses and seminars, poster
presentations; as well as vendor exhibits. Papers and proposals for
