Call for papers: 1st International Workshop on Models for Simulation (M4S)

https://m4s.uibk.ac.at/
(co-located with PoEM 2024)

Simulation capitalizes on structural, behavioral, and physical models. They embody the fundamental concepts of a system, whereas simulation actualizes those principles in a dynamic setting. The modeling community is facing new issues in terms of authenticity, trustworthiness, and sensitivity of models due to the increasing popularity of digital twins which in turn capitalize on models as one of their fundamental pillars next to the physical twin, and bidirectional data exchange between the physical and virtual world. In socioeconomic systems, additional challenges emerge as some characteristics of these systems are only partially observable by sensors and require innovative ways of modeling. Models and simulations are effective instruments for comprehending, examining, and forecasting the behavior of intricate systems in several fields. To fully maximize these advantages, a thorough reassessment of the fitness of models for simulation is necessary.

The workshop targets the following objectives:

  • Elicit the current state and readiness of system and software models for use in digital twin-based simulation.
  • Identify core scenarios and, from these, essential model requirements for digital-twin-based simulation.
  • Outline the main areas of study that need to be addressed in the near future to ensure that system and software models are suitable for simulations of cyber-physical and socioeconomic systems and processes based on digital twins.
