Simulation and Modeling Methodologies, Technologies and Applications

The
present book includes a set of selected extended papers from the 5th
International Conference on Simulation and Modeling Methodologies, Technologies
and Applications (SIMULTECH 2015), held in Colmar, France, from 21 to 23 July
2015. The conference brought together researchers, engineers and practitioners
interested in methodologies and applications of modeling and simulation. New
and innovative solutions are reported in this book. SIMULTECH 2015 received 102
submissions, from 36 countries, in all continents. After a double blind paper
review performed by the Program Committee, 19% were accepted as full papers and
thus selected for oral presentation. Additional papers were accepted as short
papers and posters. A further selection was made after the Conference, based
also on the assessment of presentation quality and audience interest, so that
this book includes the extended and revised versions of the very best papers of
SIMULTECH 2015. Commitment to high quality standards is a major concern of SIMULTECH
that will be maintained in the next editions, considering not only the
stringent paper acceptance ratios but also the quality of the program
committee, keynote lectures, participation level and logistics.
