In 2017, ACM-SIGSIM and INFORMS-Sim will once again sponsor the Ph.D. Colloquium. The Ph.D. Colloquium addresses Ph.D. students that are within one year of their graduation (planning to graduate by Dec. 2018). Students close to graduation will be given an opportunity to showcase their work during a short presentation session in the Colloquium (apart from the regular tracks). All Colloquium students will then participate in the Colloquium Poster Session. Presenting your Ph.D. efforts to your peers and supporting society members will give you valuable feedback, support your research with additional ideas and parallel ongoing work, and introduce you to a network that can be very helpful with your career once you graduate. The Ph.D. Colloquium will be conducted on\u00a0Sunday, December 3, 2017<\/strong>, starting with lunch. The keynote speaker (to be announced) will join us for a discussion over lunch.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Edward P. Fitts Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering<\/p>

Recent Lessons on Research Ethics and Academic Publishing<\/h4>

The focus of this presentation is on the basic principles of research ethics as they apply to writing and refereeing archival journal articles and conference proceedings papers.\u00a0 Although these principles have not changed substantially over time, in the last several years the emphases in practical applications of these principles have shifted in response to rapid changes in academic publishing and changing norms of performance in different disciplines.\u00a0 The discussion highlights recent lessons learned from these changes, especially as they apply to the field of computer simulation.<\/p>

James R. Wilson<\/strong> is a professor in the Edward P. Fitts Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at North Carolina State University.\u00a0 His current research interests are focused on probabilistic and statistical issues in the design and analysis of simulation experiments.\u00a0 He has held the following editorial positions: departmental editor of Management Science<\/em> (1988\u20131996); area editor of ACM Transactions on Modeling and Computer Simulation<\/em> (1997\u20132002); guest editor of a special issue of IISE Transactions<\/em> honoring Alan Pritsker (1999\u20132001); and Editor-in-Chief of ACM Transactions on Modeling and Computer Simulation<\/em> (2004\u20132010).\u00a0 He served The Institute of Management Sciences College on Simulation (now the INFORMS Simulation Society) as secretary-treasurer (1984\u20131986), vice president (1986\u20131988), and president (1988\u20131990).\u00a0 His activities in the Winter Simulation Conference (WSC) include service as proceedings editor (1986), associate program chair (1991), and program chair (1992).\u00a0 During the period 1997\u20132004, he was a member of the WSC Board of Directors corepresenting the INFORMS Simulation Society; and he served as secretary (2001), vice chair (2002), and chair (2003).\u00a0 During the period 2006\u20132009, he was a trustee of the WSC Foundation, serving as secretary (2006), vice-president (2007), and president (2008).\u00a0 Currently he is serving on the INFORMS Publications Committee.\u00a0 He is a member of ACM and ASA, and he is a fellow of IISE and INFORMS.

Ph.D. Colloquium Participation Options<\/h2>\n

There are three options to participate in the Ph.D. Colloquium with different benefits:<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Poster Only<\/strong>: Submit your work as a poster with a\u00a02-page extended abstract<\/strong>. Note: Students who showcase their work as a poster in the regular WSC poster sessions are not eligible to participate in the Colloquium (and vice versa). Hence, one should select to participate in either the regular poster session or the Colloquium (not both).
    \nBenefit 1<\/em>: If accepted, both ACM-SIGSIM and INFORMS-Sim provide a complimentary one-year membership.<\/li>\n
  2. Poster and Presentation<\/strong>: Submit a presentation in addition to your poster; get accepted, then
    \nBenefit 1<\/em>: Both ACM-SIGSIM and INFORMS-Sim provide a complimentary one-year membership.
    \nBenefit 2<\/em>: ACM-SIGSIM and INFORMS-Sim will reimburse conference registration fee.
    \nBenefit 3<\/em>: You will be eligible to participate in the Ph.D. colloquium lunch.<\/li>\n
  3. Poster, Presentation, and Full Paper<\/strong>: Submit a full paper to a regular track in addition to the poster and presentation; get accepted, then
    \nBenefit 1<\/em>: Both ACM-SIGSIM and INFORMS-Sim provide a complimentary one-year membership.
    \nBenefit 2<\/em>: ACM-SIGSIM and INFORMS-Sim will reimburse conference registration fee.
    \nBenefit 3<\/em>: You will be eligible to participate in the Ph.D. colloquium lunch.
    \nBenefit 4<\/em>: ACM-SIGSIM and INFORMS-Sim will each award a Best Ph.D. Student Paper prize among those final year students making a presentation at both the Ph.D. Colloquium and the conference. Those who have a full paper on a regular track will be eligible for these awards. ACM-SIGSIM will award a prize for the best Ph.D. Student Paper in the \u201cComputational and Model Representation Techniques in Modeling and Simulation\u201d. INFORMS-Sim will award a prize for the best Ph.D. Student Paper in the \u201cAdvanced Applications of Simulation and Optimization\u201d.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Ph.D. Colloquium participants have to be present at all events (i.e., Sunday lunch, colloquium and poster sessions, WSC opening session, ACM-SIGSIM and INFORMS-Sim meetings, etc.) in order to be eligible for all benefits.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

    Submission Requirements<\/h2>\n

    Students have to submit papers and posters using the regular submission system of WSC following the standard deadlines. In addition, for all students attending the Ph.D., the advisor needs to send an email to the chair of the Ph.D. Colloquium Committee<\/a> not later than September 1, 2017, that states:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. That the Ph.D. student is within one year of graduation<\/li>\n
    2. That the Ph.D. student is the main author of the submission<\/li>\n
    3. That the Ph.D. student will participate in the Ph.D. Colloquium<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      The e-mail must also indicate the award for which the Ph.D. student is applying (ACM-SIGSIM or INFORMS-Sim).<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

      Additional Information about the Colloquium<\/h2>\n

      Poster preparation guidelines:<\/strong>
      \nPlease bring a standard A0 size poster, or sheets which can be assembled to be that size or smaller. Your poster should cover the main points of your work and be as self-explanatory as possible. However, you should participate in the evening event when the posters are presented, as peers and society members will have additional questions. Even when you gave a presentation, the poster session is always a great opportunity to talk about details, discuss relevant related research, and bond with fellow Ph.D. students.<\/p>\n

      Presentations:<\/strong>
      \nIf you submit a student paper for the conference you can use your presentation for the Ph.D. colloquium as well as for the track presentation. You may need to edit the slides, as we may have more time constraints. You do not have to present something special in the Ph.D. colloquium that cannot be used in the regular sessions.<\/p>\n

      Student Papers:<\/strong>
      \nStudent papers are part of the regular conference and fall under the submission and review guidelines as documented on this WSC website. If you have an accepted paper at the WSC 2017 and would like to participate in the Ph.D. colloquium as well, please send a short note with the details of the accepted paper to the Colloquium chair before September 1, 2017.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
