17. ICST Transactions on Simulation Tools and Techniques

Scope:
Simulation modeling is an essential aspect of designing, developing, and understanding complex systems.  Because of its importance, simulation modeling is of significant interest to scientists and engineers from all disciplines.   The broad interest, and a growing reliance on simulation and its applications, has led to continuing development and improvement of simulation tools.   There is now a clear need for a forum where scientists and engineers can publish original innovative research pertaining to simulation tools and modeling methodologies.  The ICST Transactions on Simulation Tools and Techniques, SimTT, meets this need.  SimTT is the only scientific publication to focus exclusively on simulation modeling tools and methodology.  SimTT accepts papers from all disciplines. Issues also include a theme-based section made up of papers addressing a specific topic.   The theme-based papers are typically drawn from disciplines other than computer science.  The publication of simulation research from both computer science and other disciplines provides the opportunity for scientists to broaden their knowledge of simulation tool research in a wide range of applications.   SimTT’s purpose is to disseminate original research on simulation tool development and methodology, including research across multiple disciplines.  This inter-disciplinary approach encourages interaction between all users and developers of simulation tools.

OLIVIER DALLE is Maître de Conférences (Associate Professor) in the Computer Sciences department of the Faculty of Sciences at University of Nice-Sophia Antipolis (UNS). He received is BSc. from University of Bordeaux 1 and his MSc. and Ph.D. from UNS. From 1999 to 2000 he was a post-doctoral fellow at the French Space Agency center in Toulouse (CNES-CST), where he started working on component-based discrete event simulation of multi-media telecommunication systems. In 2000, he joined UNS and its MASCOTTE research group, a joint team of UNS, CNRS, and INRIA. His current research interests in discrete-event simulation are on methodology support, very large-scale networked systems, and wireless communication systems. He was one of the founders of the ICST SIMUTools Conferences (Program co-Chair in 2008, General co-Chair in 2009, and Steering Committee member since 2009).

GABRIEL WAINER, SMSCS, SMIEEE, received the M.Sc. (1993) and Ph.D. degrees (1998, with highest honors) of the University of Buenos Aires (Argentina), and Université Paul Cézanne (Aix-Marseille III, France).

In July 2000, he joined the Department of Systems and Computer Engineering, Carleton University (Ottawa, ON, Canada), where he is now an Associate Professor. He has held positions at the Computer Science Department of the University of Buenos Aires, and visiting positions in numerous places, including the University of Arizona (USA), Ecole Polytéchnique de Marseille, LSIS-CNRS, University of Nice and INRIA Sophia-Antipolis (France). He is author of a book on Real-Time systems, three others on Discrete-Event Simulation and over 190 research articles. He has collaborated in the organization of over 80 conferences in the area.

He was Principal Investigator of different research projects (funded by the National Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada, Precarn, Usenix, the Canadian Foundation of Innovation, CANARIE, and private companies including Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Intel and MDA Corporation). He has been the recipient of various awards (including the IBM Eclipse Innovation Award, a Leadership award by the Society for Modeling and Simulation International –SCS- and a Best Paper award in an international contest organized by CICC, Japan).

He is a member of the Real-Time and Distributed systems lab at Carleton University, a chair of Carleton University’s University's Research Centre in Technology Innovation and the head of the Advanced Real-Time Simulation lab within Carleton University Centre for advanced Simulation and Visualization (V-Sim).

He is Special Issues Editor of the Transactions of the SCS, and Associate Editor of the International Journal of Simulation and Process Modeling and the Journal of Defense Modeling and Simulation. He was a member of the Board of Directors of the SCS, and a chairman of the DEVS standardization study group (SISO). He is Director of the Ottawa Center of The McLeod Institute of Simulation Sciences and chair of the Ottawa M&SNet. He was one of the founders of the ICST SIMUTools Conferences (Program co-Chair in 2008, General co-Chair in 2009, and Steering Committee member since 2009).

His current research interests are related with modelling methodologies and tools, parallel/distributed simulation and real-time systems.
