AIM OF ESM 2010
The 24th annual ESM 2010 (European Simulation and Modelling
Conference) is the original European international conference
concerned with state of the art technology in modelling and
simulation. ESM 2010 aims to provide an overview of academic
research in the field of computer simulation.
A number of major tracks of simulation research are presented
next to specific workshops, which capture the art and science
of present-day simulation research.

All submissions will be peer reviewed by at least three members
of the International Program Committee. Accepted papers will be
published in the conference Proceedings (both print and electronic
format on the web), that will be copyrighted and widely
disseminated. All talks and tutorials, must be accompanied by a
paper of between three to eight Proceedings pages.

A number of tracks are already known but new track proposals
can be made till April 30.
IPC Members are also sought for the tracks on:
Activity-based travel demand modelling and simulation
Decision Models for Intermodal Transport

computer science : Object-Oriented Languages, Discrete Event
Simulation, Concepts of Agent and Actor, Fuzzy Logic, UML, model -
GIS interface, Web-based simulation, environment management,

Modelling and simulation have an important role in structuring
biological, medical and ecological systems.

methodology in order to handle the different degrees of uncertainty,
as well as virtual reality methodology describing the time and space
dependent complexity.

COSMOLOGICAL SIMULATION

Detailed computer simulations are a powerful tool to study
one of the biggest challenges for theoretical cosmology:
How did the galaxies we see in the universe today form out of
the small fluctuations in matter density that were present
in the primordial universe? Having carried out the largest
cosmological simulations ever, scientists of astrophysics
are able to follow the hierarchical galaxy formation process
with unprecedented accuracy and detail, allowing new theoretical
insights into dark matter dynamics, and novel tests of the cold
dark matter theory for galaxy formation.

Call Centre and Supermarket Logistics and Services
Using stochastic models to plan call center operations, schedule call center staff efficiently, and analyze projected performance is not a new phenomenon. However, several factors have recently conspired to increase demand for call center simulation analysis.
Increasing complexity in call traffic, coupled with the almost ubiquitous use of Skill-Based Routing. Rapid change in operations due to increased merger and acquisition activity, business volatility, outsourcing options, and multiple customer channels (inbound phone, outbound phone, email,web, chat) to support. Cheaper, faster desktop computing, combined with specialized call center simulation applications that are now commercially available.

WORKSHOP SIMULATION WITH PETRI NETS

Petri nets were introduced by C.A. Petri as a "finitary
combinatorial model of event topology which, is in close
correspondence with the models of modern physics, is capable of
describing total information flow, and has proven superior to some
conventional models both in construction and in analysis of systems
of complex organization". Although many other models of concurrent
and distributed systems have been developed, Petri nets are still
considered "a central model for concurrent systems with respect to
both the theory and the applications" due to the natural way they
allow to represent reasoning on concurrent active objects which
share resources and their changing states.
The huge amount of work invested in making the modelling power
of Petri nets formalism more and more intensive, led to a
continuous evolution of this area, such that "Petri nets" is
currently a generic name for a whole class of models divided into
three main layers (ranging from Elementary Net Systems and
Place/Transition nets to traditional High Level nets and High Level
nets with abstract data types). For the performance evaluation of
the modelled system, time execution and/or stochastic processes
have also been considered, leading to important extensions to the
above general Petri nets classification: Timed and Stochastic Petri
nets.
Petri nets are widely considered as an operational (rather than
denotational) formalism for Discrete Event Systems. They have proven
to be useful in solving difficult discrete-event problems in a
variety of application domains such as in software engineering,
operating systems, databases, communication and co-operation
protocols in distributed systems, manufacturing systems, defence
command and control, business processes and
telecommunications, etc.
As investigations in this area show, Petri nets also cover a large
number of currently active research areas. Despite the great
amount of work and achievements, much effort is still to be done to
meet the applications requirements.
This workshop is intended to provide a forum for the
presentation and discussion of original ideas, recent
results and achievements by researchers, students and system
developers on issues and challenges related to the above domain.
We invite to submit original contributions addressing, but not
limited to one of the following topics:
-- Simulation using Petri Net Systems,
-- Place/Transition nets,
-- High-level Petri nets,
-- Timed and Stochastic Petri nets,
-- Temporal and real-time logics with respect to Petri nets,

MODELS AND SIMULATIONS FOR EMERGENCY AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Multiple and unexpected failures but also catastrophes waiting
to happen are built into our "society's complex systems". This
is a matter of increasing concern. How should we understand,
control or avoid such potential crisis on a local/global scale,
where local interactions play a major role?
Simulations are powerful tools in a context where risk is the
product of probability of accident by the losses per accident.
This risk can be major when it is collective, the occuring
frequency is low, the impacts on humans or environment are very
important. In this kind of risk, it is necessary to engage
exceptional resources to prevent, to forsee and to help. This
aspect is very important, but some crises have demonstrated
that the problems can be in upstream and it is also necessary
to consider the detection, the defects diagnosis and the
supervision of risk systems.
We solicit contributions on (not exhaustive):
* Modeling risk (including technical, environmental and human
factors) to prevent and to manage
* Tools of analysis, detection and early diagnosis
* Population flow before, during and after the crisis
* Information flow for the emergency
