Si svolgerà dal 12 al 15 luglio il 2010 Euro Simulation Interoperability Workshop a Crowne Plaza Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

2010 Euro Simulation Interoperability Workshop sponsored by the Simulation Interoperability Standards Organization (SISO)
a component of the 2010 International Simulation Multi-conference
sponsored by The Society for Modeling and Simulation International (SCS)
Simulation Interoperability Standards Organization (SISO)

SISO's Simulation Interoperability Workshops (SIWs) encompass a broad range of modeling and simulation issues, applications, and communities, with the overall goal of identifying and supporting the development of products to facilitate simulation interoperability
standards and reuse. Each SIW includes working sessions addressing interoperability and reuse requirements and issues; tutorials on state-of-the-art methodologies, tools, and techniques; and exhibits presenting the latest technological advances.

Please note that registrations for this workshop are being handled by SCS. Conference registrations will be managed via their on-line registration web page at http://www.scs.org/confernc/summersim/summersim10/summersim10.htm .
Hotel reservation information is also available on the same page.
Abstract and paper evaluations and acceptances will be managed by SISO via our usual process, as described below.

ABSTRACT SUBMISSION INFORMATION.
The Workshop invites papers and presentations relating to distributed simulation standards, applications, and technologies, interoperability issues, and other topics identified below and on the SISO web site. Abstracts are reviewed and selected by Planning and Review Panels (PRPs) and leaders of the individual Forums and Groups. Papers are considered for presentation in one or more Forums and Groups. Abstract and paper format requirements are described in the Author's Guide posted on the SISO web site.

Individuals who wish to participate should complete and submit an abstract, using the submission form provided on the SISO web site. If you have any problems or are unable to submit to the web site, please contact Pat Burgess (pburgess@ist.ucf.edu), phone: +1-407-882-1372,
fax: +1-407-658-5059.

SISO sessions will include models and simulations used in planning for civil security problems ranging from natural disasters (fire, flood, earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, etc.) to deliberate hostile actions, as well as general safety and contingency planning and
operations. A primary focus will be on cooperation among national and international civilian, military, and non-governmental agencies, including scenario generation, command and control interoperability, and simulation reusability.

EXPERIENCE WITH SISO STANDARDS
SISO invites papers that report the results of experiences with SISO-developed standards and guidelines. We are looking for feedback (positive or negative) on the utility of our products. If the author(s) indicate in both the abstract and in the completed paper that they are submitting a "SISO Standards Experiences" paper, these papers will be highlighted in a listing in the SIW Workshop Agenda.


INDIVIDUAL FORUM AND GROUP CALLS FOR PAPERS
Generally, papers and presentations are considered in three main categories:
User Community Forums, which examine and promote topics of interest related to the use and adequacy of available simulation capabilities and new capabilities needed by M&S users.
Specialty Area Forums, which examine and promote current and emerging simulation processes and technology.
Special Sessions, which deal with topics that merit timely solicitation of feedback from the SISO community.

For a list of the Tracks and Forums, Study Groups, and Product Development Groups meeting at this workshop, and their specific interest areas, see the corresponding links at http://www.sisostds.org .

TECHNICAL EXHIBITS AND DEMONSTRATIONS
Throughout the week, several organizations will provide exhibits and demonstrations of materials, software, and equipment relevant to distributed simulation applications. If your organization is interested in being an exhibitor, contact DJ Weed, (djweed@scs.org).
