Meetings/Workshops on Modeling and Simulation in the United States (USA)

The annual PADS conference has a long history dating back to 1985. The conference was formerly known under the name Principles of Advanced and Distributed Simulation, and before that simply Parallel and Distributed Simulation. Over the years PADS has broadened its scope beyond its origins in parallel and distributed simulation and now encompasses virtually all research that lies at the intersection of the computer science and the modeling and simulation fields. Specifically, many research topics not related to parallel or distributed model execution are now included.

SIGSIM PADS provides a unique forum for reporting and discussing research results and important topics of interest to the M&S community. SIGSIM PADS is the flagship conference of ACM's Special Interest Group on Simulation and Modeling (SIGSIM) and is fully sponsored by that organization.

The conference will cover the usual topics in geo-mathematics, geostatistics, geoinformatics and geomodeling but in particular will bring to fore geomodeling issues at the intersection of food, water, and energy. The challenge of meeting the increased demand for food, water, and energy and the resultant stress on our geo-sphere is broadly accepted as one of the major scientific challenges facing mankind. The feedback processes intrinsic to this tri-partite cycle are best-studied using sophisticated mathematical and statistical modeling tools. One of the broad themes of the proposed conference will be to highlight research being performed to address these issues.

Geophysics and Geology,    Computational Physics and Numerical Simulation

American Institute of Mathematics

This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will be devoted to problems in combinatorial and geometric rigidity theory arising from modeling of microstructures. The overall goal of this workshop is to formalize and start working on a graded set of problems arising from the applications, framed by specific focus topics on flexibility, tunnelling, stresses and periodicity, while connecting them with existing techniques and already formulated open problems.

Graph Theory and Combinatorics,    Applied Mathematics (in general)

WSC is the premier international forum for disseminating recent advances in the field of system simulation. In addition to a technical program of unsurpassed scope and quality, WSC provides the central meeting for practitioners, researchers, and vendors.

SODA is jointly sponsored by the SIAM Activity Group on Discrete Mathematics and the ACM Special Interest Group on Algorithms and Computation Theory

This symposium focuses on research topics related to efficient algorithms and data structures for discrete problems
