AIM OF MESM'2019
The MESM'2019 (International Middle Eastern Simulation and Modelling Conference) on Simulation and Modelling is the sixteenth conference in the MESM series organized by EUROSIS.
One of the major aims of this conference is to bring people from various parts of the Middle East in contact with colleagues working in modeling & simulation from around the world
(e.g..Europe, USA, Canada, Far East etc.), bringing them into a wider Network of Simulation Excellence. This conference, is sponsored by EUROSIS, ETI, Ghent University, the University of Skovde,the University of Zilina, GODAN, as well as IEEE UKRI - SPC.
MESM'2019 covers a wide range of simulation subjects in order to capture the general thrust of simulation research at present being done in the Arab World as you can ascertain from the themes page.
The updated scientific programme for MESM'2019 aims to map and mimic present day research topics in the Middle East. Thus conference topics have changed a bit in comparison to previous years.
The site for this year's event is Dubai.
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), that will be copyrighted and widely disseminated. All talks and tutorials, must be accompanied by a paper of between three to eight Proceedings pages.
