VLCS aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss advances in the modeling and simulation of large and complex systems that represent major challenges in advancing the art and science of simulation. Contributions are invited on relevant applications and techniques that address problems related to the size and complexity of the simulated system. Topics include, but are not restricted to:

 

· Multi-discipline Simulation

· Multi-rate Simulation

· Co-simulation

· Human and Machine Synergistic Solvers

· Complex and Complicated Systems

· Simulation Standardization and Benchmarks

· Simulation Methods for System Development

· Standard Models, Reference Models, and Model Libraries

· Representation of Uncertainty

· Self-consistent Initialization of Heterogeneous System Models

· Variable Model Order, Model Reduction, and Model Enrichment Validation and Verification

· Cognitive Processes for Very Large System Simulations

· Chaos, Monte Carlo, Data Mining, and Genetic Algorithms for Large System Simulations

· Complex and Complicated Systems

· Simulation Standardization and Benchmarks

· Simulation Methods for System Development

 

Submission Procedures: Please follow the submission instructions reported in the Submission Procedure Section in the GCMS Homepage. Submit your paper to the SCS Conference Proceedings Management System. For questions and more information, please contact Terry Ericsen at terry.ericsen@navy.mil
