Environment and Sustainability Track, Winter Simulation Conference 2016

Environmental & Sustainability Applications Track at the Winter Simulation Conference, December 11-14, 2016 Arlington, VA

http://wintersim.org/2016/

Track Coordinators:
Jonathan Ozik, Argonne National Lab/University of Chicago
John T. Murphy, Argonne National Lab/University of Chicago

The Environmental and Sustainability Applications track focuses on the use of modeling and simulation for the analysis of the environment, of coupled natural-human systems, and of resilient and sustainable solutions to environmental and natural resource challenges. Application areas include ecological systems, natural disasters, renewable resources, sustainable manufacturing, sustainable infrastructure, and human-environment interaction. We solicit papers presenting new ideas, concepts, models, methods, tools, standards, and applications pertaining to the evaluation and preservation of the natural environment and its resources.

Possible topics include, but are not limited to, the modeling, simulation, and analysis of:

· Human-environment interaction
· Ecological systems
· Resilience in coupled natural-human systems
· Natural disasters and their impact on society
· Renewable resources and related processes
· Human adaptation to climate change
· Sustainable power grids/smart grids
· Energy efficient and sustainable urban planning and design
· Sustainable infrastructure
· Energy/resource efficient manufacturing
· Environmental modeling, visualization, and optimization
· Decision support and analytics for sustainability
· Information modeling and interoperability for sustainability applications

Note: Deadline approaching (April 4th!)
