## Call for papers

Scope EAI SIMUTools 2026 is the 17th edition of the annual International Conference on Simulation Tools and Techniques. The conference focuses on a broad range of research challenges in the field of simulation, modeling and analysis, addressing current and future trends in simulation techniques, methods, models, practices and software and tools. The conference is dedicated to fostering interdisciplinary collaborative research in these areas and across a wide spectrum of application domains. Building on the success of the previous editions, this year’s edition will provide an exciting forum for interaction among academic and industry researchers together with practitioners from both the modelling and simulation community, the emulation community, the development community, and the different user communities. The EAI SIMUTools 2026 conference will be held in London, UK, on 19-20 November 2026. Special Focus This year we invite papers exploring philosophical and methodological issues connected with modelling and simulation: Studies of the pragmatics of representation and how models and simulations are used to represent their targets Work in meta-modelling and the role and value of models of the modelling process Research into abstraction and the credibility of assumptions in the modelling process Methodological issues connected with the use of AI within models (including AI-driven components and AI-generated simulations) Reflections on model evaluation, including validation, verification, benchmarking and the criteria of accuracy used within them Reflections on communicating modelling and simulation to non-modellers, including the use of visualisation tools to support communication and sustained collaboration Research into the place of values in modelling and simulation, including the role of values in the design process, and challenges communicating values alongside model outputs The conference is interested in all types of simulation methods: discrete event, Monte Carlo simulation, parallel and distributed simulation, agent-based simulation, simulation-optimization, symbiotic simulation, DEVS, cellular automata, lattice-Boltzmann, membrane computing, P-systems, Petri Nets, GPU-base simulation, etc., as well as related tools. Case studies and applications can be drawn from any field, including Security, Transportation & Logistics, Production & Manufacturing, Smart Cities, Healthcare Systems, Telecommunication Systems, Energy Systems, Environmental Challenges, Bioinformatics, Mathematical Analysis and Simulation, Societal Challenges, Complex Systems, and so on. Topics The conference invites submissions in all areas related to simulation and modelling, with a special focus this year on exploring the philosophical and methodological issues of simulation and modelling. Topics of interest include: 1. Foundations: Methodological advances Mathematical & logical foundations Principles of simulation and model design Advances in compositional modelling 2. Tools: Libraries and frameworks for modelling and simulation Verification tools and techniques Statistics and analysis tools Visualisation tools Use of AI or Machine Learning in simulation Tools for the co-production of modelling and simulation with knowledge holders and users 3. Applications: Case studies Novel applications of simulation and modelling Comparisons of modelling and simulation approaches, frameworks, and tools Special Focus This year we invite papers exploring philosophical and methodological issues connected with modelling and simulation: Studies of the pragmatics of representation and how models and simulations are used to represent their targets Work in meta-modelling and the role and value of models of the modelling process Research into abstraction and the credibility of assumptions in the modelling process Methodological issues connected with the use of AI within models (including AI-driven components and AI-generated simulations) Reflections on model evaluation, including validation, verification, benchmarking and the criteria of accuracy used within them Reflections on communicating modelling and simulation to non-modellers, including the use of visualisation tools to support communication and sustained collaboration Research into the place of values in modelling and simulation, including the role of values in the design process, and challenges communicating values alongside model outputs The conference is interested in all types of simulation methods: discrete event, Monte Carlo simulation, parallel and distributed simulation, agent-based simulation, simulation-optimization, symbiotic simulation, DEVS, cellular automata, lattice-Boltzmann, membrane computing, P-systems, Petri Nets, GPU-base simulation, etc., as well as related tools.
