SummerSim is SCS's premier international conference in cooperation with ACM SIGSIM. The conference focuses on modeling and simulation, tools, theory, methodologies and applications and provides a forum for the latest R&D results in academia and industry. This year’s focus is on the Role of Simulation Tools, Methodologies and Technologies in Scalable and Interoperable Cyber-Physical Systems and Interdisciplinary Issues for a Connected Word. We encourage you to take this opportunity to experience the tutorials, tracks, and workshops that will be available.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p>A selected group of the best papers of SummerSim’16 will be invited to be published in a Special Issue devoted to SummerSim’16.
