Conference Theme: Simulation for Risk Management<\/h2>

WSC 2019 focus is on the use of simulation to address a wide range of individual and societal risks.<\/em><\/h4>

From its very beginnings over 70 years ago, simulation has been a powerful tool for assessing potential risks and guiding us in making decisions under uncertainty. The 2019 conference seeks to highlight the latest simulation technologies for more accurately anticipating risks and for making more robust decisions in the face of uncertainty, ambiguity, and variability. These include methods for robust and accurate simulation modeling, analysis, and optimization. We also invite papers describing applications of simulation to risk management in a broad variety of domains, including healthcare, disaster response, power grids, construction, transportation, finance, cybersecurity, and more.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

WSC2019 KEYNOTE SPEAKER<\/h3>

Dr. Robert Atlas<\/h4>

Director, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Atlantic Meteorological Laboratory<\/h5>
Modeling and Simulation for Reducing the Risks Associated with Extreme Weather<\/strong><\/h6>

The reduction of losses related to hurricanes and other extreme weather phenomena involves many complex aspects ranging from purely theoretical, observational, computational and numerical, to operational and decisional. A correct warning can lead to proper evacuation and damage mitigation, and produce immense benefits. However, over-warning can lead to substantial unnecessary costs, a reduction of confidence in warnings, and a lack of appropriate response. In this chain of information, the role played by scientific research is crucial. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), in combination with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), other agencies, and universities is contributing to these efforts through observational and theoretical research to better understand the processes associated with extreme weather. This includes model and data assimilation development, Observing System Experiments (OSE), and Observing System Simulation Experiments (OSSE) designed to ascertain the value of existing observing systems and the potential of new observing systems to improve weather prediction and theoretical understanding. We describe innovative research for developing advanced next-generation global\u00a0and regional models to improve weather prediction, and the application of OSSEs to optimize the observing system.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
