SummerSim is SCS’s premier international conference in cooperation with ACM SIGSIM. The conference focuses on modeling and simulation, tools, theory, methodologies and applications and provides a forum for the latest R&D results in academia and industry. This year’s focus is on the pervasive role of simulation tools, methodologies and technologies for enabling a more informed and effective online decision making. We encourage you to take this opportunity to experience the tutorials, tracks, and workshops that will be available. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">A selected group of the best papers of SummerSim 2017 will be published in a <a href="http://www.mdpi.com/journal/systems/special_issues/psedm" target="_blank">special issue </a>of <a href="http://www.mdpi.com/journal/systems" target="_blank">Systems</a>. All manuscripts will be subject to the journal’s normal process of evaluation for suitability for peer review. Please note that acceptance of a paper in SummerSim 2017 does not imply acceptance of an accompanying paper for publication in the special issue.</span></p>
