Are you ready for a live, face-to-face conference? We are too! The 2021 Winter Simulation Conference is pioneering a new hybrid format, in-person for those who can travel and virtual for our friends and colleagues who need to participate online. Serving the whole community of scholars and practitioners, we invite you to join us for the 2021 WSC taking place in Phoenix, Arizona, 13 – 15 December (face-to-face) and 15 – 17 December (virtual).<\/p>\n

Join practitioners and researchers to discuss advances in all aspects of modeling and simulation, under this year’s theme, “Simulation for a Smart World: From Smart Devices to Smart Cities”. Recognizing some travel restrictions will be in place for the remainder of the year, we are creating a dynamic agenda that engages conference participants in both formats. In-person events such as keynotes and paper tracks will be recorded and available on the conference’s online platform. Similarly, online events such as the PhD colloquium, poster sessions, and paper tracks will take place on the conference platform, creating a shared environment for the community to interact. Exhibits will be live, networking events will be hybrid \u2013 so much to do in either format!<\/p>\n

The focus of WSC 2021 is on the design and innovation of smart cities through the use of simulation. Smart devices and sensors offer us an amazing opportunity to create our urban future where cities are safe, environmentally secure, green, and efficient and power, water, transportation work seamlessly towards this goal. This vision relies on significant advancement from simulation both in theory and practice as modelling, experimentation and data analysis needs to come together to tackle various challenges. We invite papers that highlight innovations in both simulation theory and applications, with a specific interest in the use of simulation in smart cities design, implementation, development and vision. <\/span><\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
