[R] Simulation conference -- possible R opportunity

[Prof. John C Nash]

I have been talking with Gabriel Wainer about the possibility of some community building 
with R and simulation workers. The conference announced below is just before UseR (but in 
that capital to the north of Washington).

If anyone on this list is participating or thinking of participating, perhaps they could 
let me know off-list. Ottawa-Gatineau R User Group would likely try to set up some 
informal meet-and-greet if there are folk who can help convey what R is to simulation 
researchers. (Simulation not a big part of my own activities, I'm afraid.)

       Organized by the Society for Modeling and Simulation International
	 	   Co-Sponsored by ACM SIGSIM and ICST (pending)


Come to Ottawa, Canada for SCSC 2010 to witness the 42nd edition of this
leading conference in the field of Modeling and Simulation. SCSC’10 is
focused on basic and applied research in modeling and simulation.

SCSC 2010 features varied tutorials, tracks and workshops. The conference
focuses on modeling and simulation, tools, theory, methodologies and
applications, providing a forum the latest R&D results in academia and
industry.

All submissions will be reviewed based on the draft full paper and/or
extended abstract. The best contributed paper will be given an award. A
selected group of full papers will be selected for possible publication in a
special issue of the Simulation Journal (SCS). All papers will be published
in the ACM and the EU Digital Libraries (pending).


Important Dates:

Submission of full papers (and tutorials proposals): 	 March 22nd, 2010
Notification of acceptance: 				 April 30th, 2010
Final manuscript and Early Registration: 		 May 28th, 2010
