Call For Papers 2006 Summer Computer Simulation Conference SCSC 2006 July 30 - August 3, 2006 Coast Plaza Hotel Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Sponsored by: The Society for Modeling & Simulation International (SCS)  July 30 - August 3, 2006 - Calgary, Alberta, Canada The Summer Computer Simulation Conference is focusing on Innovative Technologies for Simulation this year. Modeling and Simulation is a very critical area for supporting Research and Development as well as competitiveness worldwide; new technologies are enabling new use of M&S and increasing its impact in new areas; SCSC provides an International Forum for presenting the State of the Art in the International Simulation Community as well as the Effectiveness of Simulation Experiences in World Businesses. Several topical perspectives will serve to illuminate the evolution of the modeling and simulation community. All submissions will be reviewed based on the draft full paper and/or extended abstract. The SCSC2006 Student Workshop, devoted to PhD Students, Master Students and Undergraduates willing to submit a paper to be presented during SCSC2006, enables students to attend the workshop and get a SCSC2006 CD copy including the whole Conference Proceedings with a very special registration fee ($55 USD, Student ID and Professor Check Required). The Student Workshop speakers will compete for the Best SCSC2006 Student Paper Award (in SCSC2003 Montreal, SCSC2004 San Jose' and SCSC2005 Philadelphia included cheques for 1,000USD and over for each winner provided by The AEgis Technologies, AIMS, Simulation Team). All the accepted student papers will be included in SCSC2006 CD-Proceedings, but are kept separate from SCSC2006 hardcopy proceedings, while regular papers are included both in SCSC2006 hardcopy and CD Proceedings. The Conference Committee will choose also the best SCSC2006 papers for awards; these awards will include consideration of those papers for possible publication in a special issue of an International Journal. The list of topics includes (but is not limited to):   M&S Technologies M&S Applications Industry and Business Practice  Distributed Interactive Simulation   Experimental Design   Experiential Digital Media   Fuzzy Logic  High Level Architecture   Human Behavior Representation Techniques   Human Factors   Methodology   Modeling and Simulation Languages   Modeling and Simulation System Architecture   Parallel and Distributed Modeling and Simulation   Real Time Systems M&S Technology   Simulation Life-Cycle Evolution   Simulation Software Engineering   System Dynamics Representation   Virtual Reality   Virtual Environments   Visualization, Graphics and Animation   Web-based Architectures and Implementation  Adaptive Systems   Agent Directed Simulation   Artificial Life   Artificial Neural Networks  Bioinformatics   Business Intelligence   Data Fusion  Knowledge Management   Knowledge Based Expert Systems   New Product Development   Complexity, Complex Systems   Ecological and Environmental Systems   Electro-Mechanical Systems   Electro-Optics   Geophysical Systems   Manufacturing   Marine Applications   Materials Modeling and Simulation   Military Systems   Queueing Systems   Robotics and Autonomous Systems   Synthetic Environment Representation   System Dynamics   Training Simulators   Transportation and Traffic  Collaboration Environments   Simulation-based Acquisition   Economics of Modeling and Simulation   Education of the Modeling and Simulation Professional   Future of Modeling and Simulation   Information Systems   Infrastructure Planning and Design   Influences of Communications and Media   Logistics   Management Science   Process Engineering   Scheduling   Standards   Verification, Validation, and Accreditation

Extended abstracts (4-6 pages), full draft papers or other proposals should be submitted for the review process as a PDF file to the site http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/scsc by March 15, 2006. Each extended abstract must include the title, authors, affiliations, addresses, references and summary (4-6 pages) for proper positioning in the conference. Only original papers, written in English, which have not been published previously elsewhere will be accepted. Please indicate which conference topic is most appropriate, listing first and second choices. Notifications of acceptance status will be sent on May 2, 2006.

Please note that in case of acceptance  your final manuscript will need to be submitted electronically as a PDF file to the site http://scs.proceedingscentral.com/ by May 23, 2006 to guarantee inclusion in the conference CD and final program. Authors of accepted papers are expected to attend the conference, present their work to their peers, transfer copyright, and pay a conference registration fee at the time their camera-ready paper is submitted. Please check the proposed tutorials for registering in the SCSC2006 Tutorial List.

For submissions and contributions to a specific Track please contact directly the Track Chair or Submit the Paper through the Web Site
