               42nd Annual Simulation Symposium (ANSS ’09)
        Part of the 2009 Spring Simulation MultiConference (SpringSim ’09)
 
                       March 22 - 27, 2009
           Doubletree Hotel San Diego - Mission Valley, San Diego, CA

Sponsored by the Society for Modeling and Simulation (SCS) and in cooperation with ACM/SIGSIM
(Proceedings will appear in the ACM Digital Library).
 
 
The Annual Simulation Symposium is a forum for the exchange of ideas, techniques, and applications among
practitioners of simulation in industry, government, and academia. This international Symposium is the oldest
continuously operating conference/symposium dedicated to simulation.
 
The paper sessions are designed to promote discussion of concepts, tools, methodologies, and results
between authors and the audience. The structure of the symposium also provides for a degree of collegiality
and continuity in the discussions of the various topics presented during the week.
 
 
 
Original contributions in all areas of modeling and simulation are welcome. This year's symposium is
particularly seeking papers in the following topical areas:
 
  * Service-oriented Computing and Simulation
  * Web-based Modeling and Simulation
  * Simulation Languages, Tools, and Environments
  * VLSI Circuit Simulators
  * Simulation of Multiprocessor Architectures
  * Simulation of Distributed Systems and Databases
  * Simulation of Parallel Processing Systems
