WSC

Welcome to the 2009 Winter Simulation Conference (WSC), recognized as the premiere international conference for simulation professionals in discrete and combined discrete-continuous simulation. WSC is always located in exciting and dynamic locations and in 2009 we are delighted to hold the conference in Austin, Texas. This is the first time that WSC has been held in Texas.

The conference theme, Energy Alternatives, encourages attendees to examine the issues of energy supply, technology development and deployment, and climate change and invites practitioners to share their contributions to solving these pressing global challenges through the use of modeling and simulation. These efforts are highlighted in the new Energy and Material Flow Simulation track.

WSC '09 offers a comprehensive program ranging from introductory tutorials to state-of-the-art research and practice. Following its unbridled success last year, WSC '09 will again incorporate the MASM (Modeling and Analysis for Semiconductor Manufacturing) Conference, the leading modeling and analysis conference for global semiconductor manufacturing and supply chain operations. WSC '09 also continues the popular pre-conference workshop Simulation 101 and expands the training offerings with a full week of training sessions running in parallel to the main conference tracks.
