Sponsored by The Society for Modeling and Simulation International (SCS)
                   http://www.scs.org
    in collaboration with ACM/SIGSIM and collocated with SISO-SIW.


The 2009 Spring Simulation Multiconference (SpringSim'09) is one of the
oldest annual conferences sponsored by The Society for Modeling and
Simulation International which covers state-of-the-art developments in 
computer simulation technologies, as well as scientific, industrial, and 
business applications.

This year's edition will combine a variety of exciting events:

Keynote Speeches:
- Azam Khan (Autodesk Research): Learning from Systems Biology in
  Architecture and Urban Design
- George Riley (Gatech): Introduction to the NS-3 Network Simulator
- Bernard P. Zeigler (ACIMS - U. of Arizona): Current state of DEVS
  research and application

Over 260 papers were submitted to the different symposia. Of those, 153
articles have been accepted for publication and presentation in multiple 
parallel tracks within the following Technical Symposia:

- Agent-Directed Simulation (ADS)
- 42nd Annual Simulation Symposium (ANSS, including Simulation of
  Systems Security and DOD Architecture Framework Modeling)
- 12th Communications and Networking Simulation Symposium (CNS)
- Emerging M&S Applications in Industry and Academia Symposium
  (EAIA, including the Business and Industry Symposium, Modeling &
  Simulation in Engineering and in Education)
- High Performance Computing and Simulation Symposium (HPCS)
- Military Modeling and Simulation Symposium (MMS)

The conference will include tutorials, a Poster Session (with more than
20 posters scheduled for presentation), invited talks on the different
symposia, Best Paper Awards and numerous social events. This year 
conference is co-located with the Simulation Interoperability Workshop, 
and two Joint Sessions with joint Keynote Speakers are scheduled.

Early Registration will end soon, and it can be completed online at
