Call For Papers Applications in Business, Management, Planning & Logistics SCSC 2010
	July 2010 Canada

Track Chairs:

The Applications in Business, Management, Planning & Logistics Track seeks contributions on R&D (research and development) in business, management, planning & logistics.
These work areas present us with complex and critical issues now facing us in the world.
Environmental issues, healthcare concerns, workforce development and global economics provide new challenges as well as new opportunities for improving markets and products as well as supply chains, while new technologies are enabling advances in re-engineering processes and networks.
So, while globalization of the markets is accelerating, the evolution of Business, Management, Planning & Logistics as well as our social, economic and environmental framework, requires us to deliberately develop new interoperable models for sustainability for very broad usage over a long timeframe.
Web technologies enable data sharing among highly dispersed teams and over wide areas as well as remote tracking and control of design, purchasing, production, supply and shipment of products and services.
These introduce possibilities for innovation in which M&S technology is necessary and critical for supporting planning, design, testing, operations and evaluation.
The Applications in Business, Management, Planning & Logistics track provides a leading forum bringing together researchers and practitioners from many different simulation societies and sectors.
By involving diverse contributions from a variety of disciplines and application areas, the conference will promote sharing of innovative ideas and the development of new proposals and partnerships as well as facilitate research options leading to valuable enabling technologies and applied simulations.
Importantly it will also solicit novel solutions to complex problems and grand challenges.

The conference solicits technical papers whose topics and applications include, but are not limited, to the following areas:
