A paper must accompany all presentations and tutorials. All papers and poster abstracts will be peer reviewed. Below are templates (one for Word and one for LaTex) for preparing papers for WSC. Full papers must be 5 to 12 pages in length and must use one of these templates. Introductory tutorials, advanced tutorials, history of simulation, and panel session papers may be up to 15 pages in length. Click here for descriptions of Tracks and Track Coordinators. Accepted papers will be published in the CD-ROM version of the conference proceedings which will be copyrighted and widely disseminated. The proceedings of the WSC are listed in the ACM and IISE digital libraries. In addition, proceedings from all previous Winter Simulation Conferences can be accessed via the Winter Simulation Archive.

Authors Kit

Here are instructions and templates for preparing your 2018 WSC paper or poster abstract. The files have been reworked from previous year versions, so please use these WSC’18 templates rather than recycling old template files. All submissions should follow the formatting instructions in this kit. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in a paper being rejected or returned for revision. We look forward to reading your work, and thanks for contributing to the preeminent conference on computer simulation.

Here is the process for preparing and submitting a WSC’18 paper or poster abstract:

  • Decide whether you will use Word or LaTeX to prepare your document
  • Download the appropriate files (see below)*
  • Modify those files to produce your submission
  • Click here to submit your paper through the online paper management system.

Each accepted paper must have a unique registration and a corresponding presentation at the conference by one of the paper’s authors. Board approval is required if any single registration is attached to more than one paper.

The Posters and Case Study Track papers should use the standard template for submission, and submit papers that are 2 pages long only.

The Abstract Templates are available for the Vendor Track only.
