Simulation and Modeling Methodologies, Technologies and Applications

The
present book includes a set of selected extended papers from the 4th
International Conference on Simulation and Modeling Methodologies, Technologies
and Applications (SIMULTECH 2014), held in Vienna, Austria, from 28 to 30 August
2014. The conference brought together researchers, engineers and practitioners
interested in methodologies and applications of modeling and simulation. New
and innovative solutions are reported in this book. SIMULTECH 2014 received 167
submissions, from 45 countries, in all continents. After a double blind paper
review performed by the Program Committee, 23% were accepted as full papers and
thus selected for oral presentation. Additional papers were accepted as short
papers and posters. A further selection was made after the Conference, based
also on the assessment of presentation quality and audience interest, so that
this book includes the extended and revised versions of the very best papers of
SIMULTECH 2014. Commitment to high quality standards isa major concern of SIMULTECH
that will be maintained in the next editions, considering not only the
stringent paper acceptance ratios but also the quality of the program
committee, keynote lectures, participation level and logistics.
