Submissions

The submission of papers is solicited for the "7th Analytical and Numerical Modelling Techniques Conference" which is organized by SCS (The Society for Computer Simulation International) as part of the ESS'99 (European Simulation Symposium 1999) in Erlangen-Nuremberg.

Motivation:
While for a long time simulation has been the predominant method of choice for many complex evaluation studies, analytical and numerical methods have recently become increasingly popular. With the advent of storage capacity and computing power even the numerical analysis of large models has become feasible and cost-effective.

Over the recent years technical progress has propelled many methodological breakthroughs due to growing acceptance and research. In many fields of application involving performance and reliability modelling of discrete flow systems, such as computer systems, high speed communication networks, flexible manufacturing systems and workflow management systems, it has been widely recognized that analytical and numerical methods can successfully complement simulation methods, while both techniques have merits of their own. However, there are still many important and interesting problems to be resolved such as those involving stochastic Petri nets and queueing network models with finite capacity and multiple job classes under various blocking mechanisms and synchrinisation constraints, bounds and theoretical properties, exact analysis, approximation methods and numerical solutions.

Contributions based on exact and approximate methods as well as applications are encouraged but not restricted to the following topics:

Techniques and Algorithms

Evaluation Studies of Analytical and Numerical Modelling
