SIMULATION MODELLING PRACTICE AND THEORY

The journal Simulation Modelling Practice and Theory provides a forum for original, high-quality papers dealing with any aspect of systems simulation and modelling.The journal aims at being a reference and a powerful tool to all those professionally active and/or interested in the methods and applications of simulation. Submitted papers will be peer reviewed and must significantly contribute to modelling and simulation in general or use modelling and simulation in application areas.Paper submission is solicited on:? theoretical aspects of modelling and simulation including formal modelling, model-checking, random number generators, sensitivity analysis, variance reduction techniques, experimental design, meta-modelling, methods and algorithms for validation and verification, selection and comparison procedures etc.;? methodology and application of modelling and simulation in any area, including computer systems, networks, real-time and embedded systems, mobile and intelligent agents, manufacturing and transportation systems, management, engineering, biomedical engineering, economics, ecology and environment, education, transaction handling, etc.;? simulation languages and environments including those, specific to distributed computing, grid computing, high performance computers or computer networks, etc.;? distributed and real-time simulation, simulation interoperability;? tools for high performance computing simulation, including dedicated architectures and parallel computing.Papers covering applications should be presented in such a way that the separate steps in the process, such as model development, computer implementation of the derived model, mathematical and scalability problems encountered and validation/verification with real data become transparent to all readers.Theory may play an important role in a paper, but it should be presented in the context of its applicability to the work being described. For application-oriented readers it is essential that theoretical papers should cover the following aspects: why the theory is relevant and how it can be applied, what is the novelty of the approach and what are the benefits and objectives of a new theory, method or algorithm; what experience has been obtained in applying the approach and what innovations did result.(Variations from these prototypes, such as comprehensive surveys of active research areas, critical reviews of existing work, and book reviews, will be considered provided they make a clear contribution to the field.)Special issues on specific topics will be published from time to time; proposals for such issues are invited.

《仿真建模实践与理论》杂志为处理系统仿真与建模任何方面的高质量原创论文提供了一个论坛。这本杂志的目的是成为一个参考和强大的工具，所有那些专业活跃和/或感兴趣的方法和应用模拟。提交的论文将经过同行评审，必须对一般建模和仿真或在应用领域使用建模和仿真做出重大贡献。要求提交文件的日期：?建模和仿真的理论方面，包括正式建模、模型检查、随机数生成器、敏感性分析、方差减少技术、实验设计、元建模、验证和验证的方法和算法、选择和比较程序等；?任何领域建模和仿真的方法和应用，包括计算机系统、网络、实时和嵌入式系统、移动和智能代理、制造和运输系统、管理、工程、生物医学工程、经济学、生态学和环境、教育、交易处理等；?仿真语言和环境，包括特定于分布式计算、网格计算、高性能计算机或计算机网络等的语言和环境；?分布式实时仿真、仿真互操作性；?高性能计算仿真工具，包括专用架构和并行计算。应以这样的方式提交涵盖应用程序的论文：过程中的单独步骤，如模型开发、派生模型的计算机实现、遇到的数学和可伸缩性问题以及使用真实数据进行验证/验证，对所有读者都是透明的。理论可能在一篇论文中起着重要的作用，但它应该在其适用于所描述的工作的背景下提出。对于以应用为导向的读者来说，理论论文必须涵盖以下几个方面：理论为什么相关以及如何应用；方法的新颖性是什么；新理论、方法或算法的好处和目标是什么；在应用该方法时获得了什么样的经验，以及在应用该方法时遇到了什么样的问题。结果是大家鼓掌。（如果这些原型对该领域做出了明确贡献，则将考虑这些原型的变化，例如对活跃研究领域的全面调查、对现有工作的关键性审查和书评。）有关特定议题的特别议题将不时公布，并邀请有关该等议题的建议。
