Modeling & simulation is at the heat of nearly all science and engineering disciplines, and conferences such as SIGSIM-PADS are key to reporting advances in critical simulation methods and important application domains. Every paper author or attendee in ACM SIGSIMPADS helps to advance the state of the art in critical simulation methodologies and applications. \u0000 \u0000This year the conference is hosted by the University of Westminster in the thriving metropolis of London. We have an excellent program to offer our attendees this year. All papers submitted to the conference were rigorously reviewed with most papers receiving 3 referee reports and follow on discussion. We thank the program committee and additional referees for their diligent efforts to provide timely, critical reviews and feedback to the authors. This process resulted in a total of 60 submissions: 24 were accepted as full papers and 3 were initially accepted as work-in-progress (WIP) papers. A number of authors who were initially rejected were given the opportunity to submit WIP papers. A further 8 WIP papers were subsequently accepted. The PhD Colloquium has 9 students taking part. We expect the fine tradition of high-quality papers and presentations will continue this year. \u0000 \u0000The best paper candidates for this year are: \u0000 \u0000FatTreeSim: Modeling a Large-scale Fat-Tree Network for HPC Systems and Data Centers Using Parallel and Discrete Event Simulation by Ning Liu, Adnan Haider, Xian-He Sun and Dong Jin \u0000 \u0000Exploring the Relationship between Adherence to Treatment and Viral Load through a New Discrete Simulation Model of HIV Infectivity by Ela Rana, Philippe Giabbanelli, Naga Balabhadrapathruni, Xiaoyu Li and Vijay Mago \u0000 \u0000A Virtual Time System for Linux-container-based Emulation of Software-defined Networks by Jiaqi Yan and Dong Jin \u0000 \u0000The winner will be announced at the conference and will be mentioned in the Chair's message for the 2016 conference. \u0000 \u0000We are pleased to confirm that the 2015 SIGSIM-PADS best paper award went to: \u0000 \u0000GPU-Assisted Hybrid Network Traffic Model by Jason Liu, Yuan Liu, Zhihui Du and Ting Li \u0000 \u0000Congratulations to Jason, Yuan, Zhihui, and Ting on this well-deserved award! \u0000 \u0000We would like to thank the hard working SIGSIM-PADS program committee for their diligent (and on time!) reviewing. We would also like to thank the other members of the organizing committee: \u0000 \u0000Professor Steffen Strassburger (TU Ilmenau) (Publicity Chair) Dr Anastasia Anagnostou (Brunel University London) (Registration Chair) Dr David Bell (Brunel University London) (PhD Colloquium Chair) Dr Tamas Kiss (University of Westminster (Local Chair) \u0000 \u0000Finally, we would like to thank our two keynotes, Professor Georgios Theodoropoulos and Professor Peter Kacsuk, for their stimulating presentations, Professor Adrian Johnstone (Royal Holloway) for a special session on Babbage's Language of Thought, Professor ","PeriodicalId":398793,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2019 ACM SIGSIM Conference on Principles of Advanced Discrete Simulation","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132807552","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
