Modeling
and Simulation (M&S) is increasingly becoming a central
activity
in the design of new systems and in the analysis of
existing systems
because it enables designers and researchers to
investigate systems
behavior through virtual representations. For
this reason, M&S is
gaining a primary role in many industrial and
research fields, such as
space, critical infrastructures,
manufacturing, emergency management,
biomedical systems and
sustainable future. However, as the complexity
of the
investigated systems increases and the types of
investigations
widens, the cost of M&S activities increases for
the more
complex models and for the communications among a wider
number and
variety of M&S stakeholders (e.g., sub-domain experts,
simulator
users, simulator engineers, and final system users). To
address
the increasing costs of M&S activities,
collaborative
technologies must be introduced to support these
activities by
fostering the sharing and reuse of models, by
facilitating the
communications among M&S stakeholders, and more
generally by
integrating processes, tools and
platforms.
Aside from seeking applications of
collaborative technologies to
M&S activities, the track seeks
innovative contributions that
deal with the application of M&S
practices in the field of
collaborative engineering platforms. These
platforms are continuously
becoming more complex, and therefore their
design requires
systematic approaches to meet the required quality
of
collaboration. This is important for two reasons: to
reduce
rework activities on the actual collaborative environment, and
to
maximize the productivity and the quality of the process
the
collaborative environment supports. M&S offers the
methodologies
and tools for such investigations and therefore it can
be used to
improve the quality of collaborative
environments.
A non-exhaustive list of topics of
interest includes:
* collaborative requirements
modeling
* collaborative environments for M&S
*
collaborative Systems of Systems M&S
* business process modeling
for collaborative environments
* agent-based M&S
*
collaborative distributed simulation
* collaborative component-based
M&S
* net-centric M&S
* web-based
M&S
* model sharing and reuse
* model building and
evaluation
* modeling and simulation of business processes
*
modeling for collaboration
* simulation-based performance analysis of
collaborative engineering
platforms
* model-driven
approaches for collaborative engineering
* domain specific languages
for collaborative M&S
* databases and repositories for
M&S
* distributed virtual environments
* virtual
research environment for M&S
* collaborative DEVS
M&S
* multi-method M&S
To stimulate
creativity, however, the track maintains a wider
scope and invites
interested researchers to present contributions
that offer original
perspectives on collaboration and
M&S.

CoMetS'16
intends to bring together researchers and practitioners
to discuss key
issues, approaches, open problems, innovative
applications and trends
in the track research area.
Papers should contain
original contributions not published or
submitted elsewhere. Papers up
to six pages (including figures,
tables and references) can be
submitted. Papers should follow the
publishing/templates.html).
All submissions should be submitted
in PDF format and will be
peer-reviewed by at least three program
committee
members.
Accepted papers will be included in the
proceedings and
published by the IEEE Computer Society
Press.
Please note that at least one author for each accepted paper
should
paper published in the
proceedings.
Interested authors and participants may
contact the organizers for
_expression_ of interests and content
appropriateness at any time.
Papers and posters can be
submitted in PDF format at the conference
conf=wetice2016), by
selecting the ÒCollaborative Modeling and
SimulationÓ
track.
