AIM OF ESM‘2014
The ESM‘2014 (The 28th annual European Simulation and Modelling Conference) is the original international European conference concerned with state of the art technology in modelling and simulation. ESM‘2014 aims to provide an overview of academic research in the field of computer simulation. A number of major tracks of simulation research are presented next to specific workshops, which capture the art and science of present-day simulation research.
ESM‘2014 consists of four major parts. A part concerns itself with simulation methodology, another with simulation applications, then there are the specialised workshops, the exhibition and last but not least the poster sessions for students.
The ESM conferences are indexed on ISI, IET (INSPEC), SCOPUS and Engineering Village
All submissions will be peer reviewed by at least three members of the International Program Committee. Accepted papers will be published in the conference Proceedings (both print and electronic format), that will be copyrighted and widely disseminated. All talks and tutorials, must be accompanied by a paper of between three to eight Proceedings pages.
Keynote and Invited Speakers
A number of keynotes will be invited. The first confirmed speaker is Jerzy Respondek, Silesian University of Technology, AEI, Faculty, Dept. of Computer Science, Gliwice, Poland who will talk on “Tree data structures in the synthesis of effective computational algorithms with special focus on algorithms operating on the special matrices”

TUTORIALS
A first tutorial is already announced on “How to use Quaternions on Modelling Rotations in 3d Space”
by Feliz Manuel Teixeira, FEUP- University of Porto, Porto, Portugal
Other tutorials can be proposed in the following three categories:
T1- Introductory tutorials
T2- State of the Art Tutorials
T3- Software and Modelware Tutorials
Tutorial proposals should be emailed to [email protected] before MAY 1ST.
POSTER SESSION
The poster session only features work in progress. Next to the actual poster presentation, these submissions also feature as short papers in the Proceedings.
STUDENTS SESSION
This session is for students who want to present their work in progress or part of their doctoral thesis as a paper. Student papers are denoted by the fact that only the name of the student appears on the paper as an author. They are published as short papers in the Proceedings.
DIVERSE ACTIVITIES
For demonstrations or video sessions, please contact EUROSIS.
Special session will be set up for vendor presentations in co- ordination with the scientific program. User Group meetings for simulation languages and tools can be organised the day before the conference. If you would like to arrange a meeting, please contact the Conference Chairs. We will be happy to provide a meeting room and other necessary equipment.
Partners for projects session(s) will be organised by EUROSIS to give potential project teams or individuals the opportunity to present their research in order to link up with fellow researchers for future research projects. Those wishing to participate in this session need to send a proposal to EUROSIS.
A EUROSIS TC Meeting and an EU Project update meeting
EXHIBITION
A special exhibition will be held during the conference focused on industrial applications. For more information please contact EUROSIS for further details. Email: [email protected]
