About the journal
Aims and Scope:
SIMULATION: Transactions of The Society for Modeling and Simulation International is the monthly refereed journal of the leading society devoted to advancing the discipline and profession of modeling and simulation.
An archival journal in both print and electronic form it publishes articles with a clear relevance to general modeling and simulation issues.
Methodology and Theory Sections
The journal consists of two distinct sections: one devoted to theory, the other to applications.
The Methodology section brings together original papers of lasting value dealing with modeling and simulation that are methodological in nature.
The Applications section includes applied papers describing mature work involving computational accounts of modeling and simulation.
Wide-Coverage of Established and Emerging Areas
The journal includes the methods and applications of modeling and simulation in both well established and emerging areas including:
" Computer Science: Computer networking and communications, high performance computers, real-time systems, mobile and intelligent agents, simulation software, and language design.
" Engineering: System engineering and design, aerospace, traffic systems, microelectronics, robotics, mechatronics, and air traffic.
" Physical and Life Sciences: Chemistry, physics, biology, medicine, biomedicine, sociology, and cognition.
The journal plays an important role in helping professionals and researchers, particularly those involved in multidisciplinary projects, apply advances in modeling and simulation theory, methodology, and technology to their application areas.
Instructions to Authors
All manuscripts must be submitted through the online system at http://simulation.manuscriptcentral.com.
SIMULATION: Transactions of The Society for Modeling and Simulation International is the monthly refereed transactions of the leading society devoted to advancing the discipline and profession of modeling and simulation. An archival journal in both print and electronic form, it consists of distinct sections--one devoted to theory, the other to applications. Published articles must have a clear relevance to general modeling and simulation issues. In addition to its archival mission, the journal aims to help professionals and researchers, particularly those involved in multidisciplinary projects, apply advances in modeling and simulation theory, methodology and technology to their application areas.
The Methodology section welcomes original papers of lasting value dealing with modeling and simulation that are methodological in nature. In particular, purely mathematical, computational, or empirical results, however valuable, are considered more appropriate to the many journals specializing in these areas. Authors should consult past issues of TRANSACTIONS beginning with March 1996 for examples of articles within its scope. General approaches, formalisms, algorithms, or techniques, however, should be illustrated with significant applications that demonstrate their applicability to real-world problems.
The Applications section welcomes applied papers describing mature work involving computational accounts of modeling and simulation. Proposals for new ways of looking at modeling and simulation must include demonstrations of effectiveness. Authors should consult past issues of SIMULATION before 2002 for examples of articles within its scope. The methods and applications of modeling and simulation in both well established and emerging areas include the fields of, but are not restricted to:
Computer Science: Computer networking and communications, high performance computers, real-time systems, mobile and intelligent agents, simulation software, and language design.
Engineering: System engineering and design, aerospace, traffic systems, air and surface traffic systems, microelectronics, mechatronics, manufacturing systems, robotics, mechatronics and air traffic.
Physical and Life Sciences: Chemistry, physics, biology, medicine, biomedicine, sociology and cognition.
Comprehensive review and tutorial papers that explicate methodological topics in modeling and simulation are especially welcome and will be reviewed both for technical quality as well as understandability to the general reader.
All manuscripts submitted for publication will be critically reviewed for their relevance to journal objectives, technical quality, significance and readability.
Special Issues
Proposals for special issues should be accompanied by the curriculum(a) vitae of the proposed guest editor(s) and will be reviewed for their relevance to the journal objectives, significance, topicality, and balance.
Sole Publication Policy and the Review Process
Papers submitted for publication must be original. Manuscripts are accepted for review on the strict understanding that the same work is not pending publication, or under review, by another periodical journal; that it will not appear subsequently in another periodical journal without the permission of The Society; and that its submission for publication is approved by all of its authors and by the institution where the work was performed. The editors of SIMULATION notify their referees in advance that by accepting a manuscript for review, they also accept an obligation to maintain confidentiality of the manuscript's contents; this obligation ends only when the manuscript becomes lawfully available to them through another channel without an obligation of confidentiality.
Submission
Language and Length: All manuscripts must be submitted in English. There is no restriction on the length of submitted manuscripts. However, the length of papers should ideally be between 10 and 20 pages in SCS Simulation format (or using the Springer Format, 15 to 30 pages). Authors should note that publication of lengthy papers might be delayed, as the length of the paper acts as a disincentive to the reviewer to undertake the review process.
Single Page Description: In order to facilitate the finding of appropriate referees for the manuscript, full-length papers should be accompanied by a separate single-page description. This description should answer the following question:
What is the most closely related work by others and how does this work refer to your topic? Please list 3 references.
Footnotes/Endnotes: The use of The Chicago Manual of Style is suggested as a guide. Authors may use either footnotes or endnotes in the paper.
References: The references should be grouped in a section at the end of the text and should include: surname and initials (use et al. in cases where the number of authors is greater than three); full title of paper; journal title; volume and number; inclusive page numbers; year of publication. If in doubt, authors should always write the journal title in full. References to a book should include: author's surname, followed by initials; title of book; editors (if any); volume number/edition (if any); inclusive page numbers; name of publisher; place of publication; and year of publication.
Proofs: Authors are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the manuscript (whether original or revised) before final submission. One set of proofs is sent to the corresponding author before publication; any changes and approvals should be returned promptly. The publishers reserve the right to charge for any changes made at the printer's proof stage (other than printer's errors), since the insertion or deletion of a single word may necessitate the resetting of whole paragraphs.
Reprints: One complete copy of the journal and 25 reprints of the article are sent free of charge to the corresponding author of each contribution. Extra copies can be ordered at prices shown on the reprint order form, which is sent with the proofs.
Online Submission Process
Once the paper meets the submission requirements listed above, the paper may be uploaded to http://simulation.manuscriptcentral.com. To enter the site, create an account and log in. To upload the paper, follow the displayed instructions. Notification of successful submission will be sent. Once a paper has been submitted, it can no longer be edited.
If no notification is received or if further assistance is required, please contact: Sharon Odegaard, Managing Editor, The Society for Modeling and Simulation International at editor@scs.org or (858) 277-3888.
