CONFERENCE WORKSHOPS
Discrete Simulation Modeling Techniques and Tools
Simulation Modeling Techniques, namely those concerned about discrete event simulation, usually play a crucial role in teaching and learning approaches to simulation. Nevertheless the classical simulation approach would be used to introduce students to the area of simulation – Event World View, Process World View or Activity World View, there is a permanent difficulty to focus on the basics of simulation, to focus on the foundations of simulation. In fact, in most cases, the need for some background on computer programming will tend to neglect those matters and concentrate on syntax details of some programming language rather than on a full comprehension of simulation basic concepts. This track is then intended to concentrate on new developments as far as simulation modeling techniques is concerned, including the use of graphical approaches to simulation modeling and also to the automatic generation of simulation programs. Contributions based on Event Scheduling approaches, Activity Cycle Diagrams approach or Process Flow approaches are most welcome. Contributions related to educational concerns but also contributions related to industrial applications are encouraged.
The following topic areas within this track on Discrete Simulation Modeling Techniques and Tools (although this list should not be treated as exclusive), will be object of interest:
- Discrete Event Simulation
- Event Scheduling
- Activity Cycle Diagrams
- Process Flow
- Visual Modeling Tools
- Visualization and Animation Tools
- Business Process Modeling
- Simulation Methodology
- Simulation Education
- Simulation Industrial Applications
- Flowchart Simulation
- Automatic Generation of Simulation Programs

Logistics and Simulation
Supply Chain management is concerned with the flow of goods and associated information flows from suppliers (raw materials) to the end users (products). It involves the integrated and systematic coordination of traditional business activities within a particular company and across companies along the supply chain aiming to improve the overall performance. It includes areas such as: materials management, transportation management, warehouse management, distribution management, among others. Supply Chain systems are complex and interest in Supply Chain management has grown in the last years both by practitioners and academics. New models and tools have been proposed to address the management of Supply Chain. In particular, simulation has been used as an important decision support tool to evaluate alternative decisions.
This track is intended to concentrate on papers that propose applications on supply chain simulation showing how this technique can play an important role as a decision support system in the Supply Chain context.
The following topic areas within this track on Logistics and Simulation (although this list should not be treated as exclusive), will be object of interest:

Real-time GPS Simulation and Service Applications
Introduction
Modern logistics in global supply chains as well as regional and local transport chains are influ-enced by several trends: Surveys show demand for more open supply chains, more security in supply chains or the cooperation with innovative logistics service providers [DB Schenker Labo-ratories 2009]. Furthermore the importance of track and trace solutions for cargo increases ac-cording to the development of the potentials of satellite based traceability services in logistics [He, et al. 2009; Carlino, et al. 2009].
GPS.LAB at ild, FOM University of Applied Science, Essen/Germany
Since this year the ild institute for Logistics and Service Management of FOM University of Ap-plied Sciences, Essen owns a GPS based track and trace system by AIS Advanced InfoData Systems GmbH, Ulm. To use the system and to analyze the results, a laboratory is installed at the institute under the name GPS.LAB. This GPS system can be used for several different ser-vice applications to be shown and discussed in the proposed workshop.
Workshop presentations and findings
The purpose of this workshop is to identify the potential GPS based track and trace system to support analysts and planners in production and logistics alliances. The following topics will be presented
1) “Real-time” calculation of a product carbon footprint to decrease the variance of the ac-tual state-of-the-art CO2 calculation and to approach the calculated values the ones which are emitted in reality.
2) Active Tracking of the delivery of goods as a service for production planners and trans-port planning assistants to estimate arrival times of raw materials or products in just-in-time production alliances.
3) “Mystery Shipping” to evaluate the performance of logistic service providers according to the practice of “mystery shopping”.

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,
-- Analysis methods of High Level nets and their time extensions,

-- Computer tools based on OOPNs,
-- Applications of OOPNs.

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 occurring 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 foresee 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
- .....
