2025 Winter Simulation Conference

WSC 2025 will look to the future and consider Simulation in 2050 and beyond!

Simulation provides unparalleled analysis and insight for design, planning and the operation of complex systems in commerce, industry and society. Simulation both creates and fuels invention leading to fundamental advances and innovative applications with research in areas such as Digital Twins, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Data Science, Distributed Computing, the Internet of Things and Virtual Reality. This spirit of inspiration and enterprise is core to our field and drives it forward. Where will Simulation be in twenty-five years? What new and exciting innovations will we see? How will these contribute to our world? We invite papers that emphasize the latest advances in simulation theory and applications showcasing both the current state-of-the-art and what our field will look like in 2050 and beyond. We particularly encourage current applications that showcase simulation excellence in a wide range of domains, including but not limited to aviation, disaster response, education, energy, finance, healthcare, infrastructure, manufacturing, national security, space systems, and supply chains, as well as what the future of simulation might be in these application areas.

The Winter Simulation Conference 2025 will continue the tradition of including pre-conference workshops, introductory and advanced tutorials, commercial case studies, poster sessions, and the Ph.D. Colloquium. It will also host the 21st International Conference on Modeling & Analysis of Semiconductor Manufacturing (MASM). WSC 2025 will showcase professional development opportunities, a Simulation Challenge for teams to compete on an industrial case study, and the Simulation Exploration Experience that focuses on the application of simulation in space.

The Winter Simulation Conference 2025 will be held in Seattle, Washington from December 7 to 10 in 2025. The Sheraton Grand Seattle is located in the heart of downtown Seattle within walking distance to Pike Market and Seattle Waterfront. Join us in Seattle for the leading conference in the field of simulation!

WSC 2025 is sponsored by ACM/SIGSIM, ASA (Technical Co-Sponsor), ASIM (Technical Co-Sponsor), IEEE/SMC (Technical Co-Sponsor), IISE, INFORMS-SIM, NIST (Technical Co-Sponsor), SCS, and ORS (Technical Sponsor).
