MODSIM session on Defence and Homeland Security Applications of Modelling and Simulation
This session within the multidisciplinary MODSIM
International Congress on Modelling and Simulation
discusses Defence and Homeland Security applications of modelling and simulation.
Anthony Dekker has been the session chair since 2005. MODSIM is held every two years, and in 2007
was held at the University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand.
Another Defence and Homeland Security session is planned for
MODSIM 09 in Cairns, Queensland, Australia on 13-17 July, 2009.
This conference is being held jointly with the
International Association for Mathematics and Computers in Simulation .
Abstracts for this meeting are due by Saturday 28 November 2008 ,
with full papers by Friday 13 March 2009.
For more details see the
conference website or email dekker@ ACM.org.
