[simu-conf] Symposium of Theory of Modeling and Simulation - Deadline Extended

		          CALL FOR PAPERS - DEADLINE EXTENDED 

       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

		  Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society

                  in cooperation with ACM/SIGSIM and ICST 

          
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 the IEEE Computer Society DL (and IEEExplore), the ACM DL and the
EUDL. 

Due to numerous requests, we have extended the deadline for submission
of papers. In order to expedite the review process, authors must submit
an abstract and information about the paper/authors in the submission
system before November 25, 2011. The paper should be uploaded into the 
system before December 6, 2011.

WORKSHOPS
=========
Authors interested in organizing satellite workshops can contact the
organizers. Up to date, three workshops have been confirmed:

- M&S and Software Engineering (Chairs: Daniele Gianni - European Space 
      Agency, Nicolas Rouquete - NASA/JPL).
- Joint Workshop with the Symposium on Simulation in Architecture and 
    Urban Design (SIMAUD) (Chairs: Lira Nikolovska, Ramtin Attar -
Autodesk 
       Research; Gabriel Wainer, Carleton University) 

DEVS AWARD
==========
This year, the Symposium will hold the Third Bernard P. Zeigler DEVS M&S

Award, to recognize high-impact innovations in M&S methods, applications

and tools (sponsored by RTSync - Chair: Doohwan Kim). 


DEVS PHD DISSERTATION AWARD
===========================
The Symposium will hold the First DEVS Ph.D. Dissertation Award, in
order
to recognize and reward the best Ph.D. Thesis related to the DEVS
Modeling 
and Simulation formalism (Chair: Claudia Frydman, LSIS, France).
