The International Symposium on Modeling MODOPT 2016 May 22 - 26, 2016 - Valencia, Spain |
This symposium is part of INFOCOMP 2016.
|
| Call for Papers: |
Modeling and optimization are important design phases for software and hardware systems. With the development of mobile and wireless systems and applications, health and ambient systems, there is a need for new concepts and practices for modeling and optimization to be generalized.
MODOPT 2016 is dedicated to present and discuss innovative solutions or industrial impact on modeling and optimization. We solicit both academic, research, and industrial contributions. We welcome technical papers presenting research and practical results, position papers addressing the pros and cons of specific proposals, such as those being discussed in the standard fora or in industry consortia, survey papers addressing the key problems and solutions on any of the above topics short papers on work in progress, and panel proposals.
The topics suggested by the symposium can be discussed in term of concepts, state of the art, research, standards, implementations, running experiments, applications, and industrial case studies. Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers, which are not under review in any other conference or journal in the following, but not limited to, topic areas.
All topics and submission formats are open to both research and industry contributions.
Topics:
- Foundations of modeling and optimization
- Enterprise modeling and optimization
- Modeling and optimization in real-time systems
- Modeling and optimization in complex systems
- Model-based software and systems engineering
- Empirical modeling
- Algorithms and flow optimization
- Quality assurance and modeling (analysis, testing, verification)

Details on contributions and proposals.
FORMATS
Only .pdf or .doc files will be accepted for paper submission. All received submissions will be acknowledged via an automated system.
Final author manuscripts will be 8.5" x 11", not exceeding 6 pages; max 4 extra pages allowed at additional cost. The formatting instructions can be found on the Instructions page. Helpful information for paper formatting can be found on the here. Latex templates are also available.
Slides-based contributions can use the corporate/university format and style.
Your paper should also comply with the additional editorial rules.
Once you receive the notification of contribution acceptance, you will be provided by the publisher an online author kit with all the steps an author needs to follow to submit the final version. The author kits URL will be included in the letter of acceptance.
We would recommend that you should not use too many extra pages, even if you can afford the extra fees. No more than 2 contributions per event are recommended, as each contribution must be separately registered and paid for. At least one author of each accepted paper must register to ensure that the paper will be included in the conference proceedings and in the digital library, or posted on the www.iaria.org (for slide-based contributions).

| Registration Form: |
Each accepted paper needs at least one full registration, before the camera-ready manuscript can be included in the proceedings. The student rate is the lowest registration rate listed in the registration form.
One registration form covers the registration of the paper and the participation of one presenter. If an author has two (or more) accepted papers, each paper must be registered paid for with a separate form.
Every participant must register separately: if two co-authors attend, each of them has to register
Support letters for entry visa will only be issued to attendees who have successfully paid their registration fees in full.
Registration form:
The MODOPT 2016 registration form can be found here.
Note: If you attend but do not have a paper to present, use paper number "guest" in the registration form.

Support letters
It is solely the responsibility of the participants and their corporations/universities to obtain the necessary travel visa.
The association can only issue a support letter stating that a registered participant has an accepted paper and that the participant is expected to have an oral presentation.
