Distributed Simulation" in Journal of Simulation (published by
Palgrave Macmillan, SCI indexed)


***** PAPER SUBMISSION AND REVIEW *****

Submitted manuscripts must be in standard IEEE two-column format that
is used for IEEE conference proceedings and must not exceed "8 pages"
(2-page extension allowed), including figures, tables and references.
Standard IEEE templates for Microsoft Word or LaTeX formats can be
found at:

***** DESCRIPTION OF THE SPECIAL SESSIONS *****

* Special Session on Simulation of Urban Traffic Management and ITS

This special session focuses on simulation tools and real-time
simulation applications used in and for evaluation, management, and
design of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), as well as Smart
Cities. Such simulations are expected to offer prediction and
on-the-flow feedback for the better decision-making, bringing up means
for both the implementation of more complex traffic management systems
and end-user applications. Off-line and real-time analyses of data
collected from infrastructured systems (e.g. real-time traffic
information), mobile, distributed technologies (e.g. communication
devices), and socially-build systems (e.g. social networks
applications) are of great interest for shaping and influencing how
ITS solutions are designed. Thus, we are particularly interested in
how these data and technologies can be incorporated in domain-related
models and simulations. We aim to bring together experts from both
industry and academia to discuss the challenges related to modelling
and simulation for ITS.

* Special Session on Distributed Simulations of Distributed Systems

Distributed simulation (DS) is a valuable tool for understanding and
evaluating distributed systems. The current computing trend sees
businesses and individuals moving toward a more centralized
infrastructure, namely the cloud. On the one hand, as the computing
infrastructure at data centers is highly complex and distributed, DS
becomes essential for diagnosing and gaining insights of the system.
On the other hand, the scale and nature of interaction between
different components in the cloud present new challenges and push DS's
state of the art.

Another computing trend that has potential to drive DS is
internet-of-things. Such complex systems consist of a large number of
autonomous, heterogeneous devices communicating with one another in
non-uniform manner. DS is valuable not only for discerning system
properties but also for predicting the devices' emergent behavior.
Finally, users in online social networks make up large distributed
systems. Insights of user interaction and the network's collective
behavior --- the study of which fits well into the realm of DS ---
bring significant value to both the society and the business of social
network providers.

This special session seeks to bring together experts and practitioners
in the domain of DS to discuss new opportunities and challenges for
DS. We welcome research papers on both theoretical and empirical
issues.

* Special Session on Augmented and Virtual Reality for Real-Time
Applications

Virtual Reality (VR) allows users to be immersed in and interact with
a fully virtual computer generated environment. On the other hand,
Augmented Reality (AR) technologies add digital information on top of
the physical reality, allowing users to gain more knowledge about
their environment. VR and AR can become valuable tools for
understanding, visualizing or evaluating real-time applications, such
as simulations.

Both technologies offer tremendous possibilities in terms of
visualization, interaction and collaboration and become widely
available with the development of new affordable devices and toolkits.

This special sessions aims at bringing together industrial experts and
researchers from academia to present their results and discuss the
challenges related to the use of VR and AR technologies dedicated to
real-time applications. We welcome research papers on both theoretical
and empirical issues.

* Special Session on Agent-based Modeling and Simulation

This special session focuses on general aspects and special properties
for agent-based modeling and simulations that allows them to be
applied on several scientific domains, such as sociology, physics,
chemistry, biology, ecology, and economy. The session is intended to
bring together researchers and practitioners, so they can present the
current status of their work and discuss the challenges they face in
developing solutions and applications for agent-based simulations.
Consequently, the design of these simulations aims not only to social
contexts but also to more technical domains, which involves highly
complex interactive systems.

Title : Models and methods for decentralized decision in logistics networks


Keywords : Comb in atorial Auctions, In teger Programm in g, Physical In ternet

Description:


This Ph.D. research project consists in design in g in novative logistics services based on the concept of physical in ternet
while tak in g in to account environmental and economic objectives. More precisely, it aims to develop models and decision
mak in g algorithms to design simultaneously several susta in able logistics and transportation cha in s between orig in s and d
est in ations given a logistics and transportation network. This mesh network will result from in for mation published by
logisticians and carriers from their networks , warehouses, l in e haul services, less-than-truckload services.
The problem of design in g multimodal susta in able cha in s will be addressed in the case where
the system is shared between actors and decentralized . The shipper will specify the general framework
( potential multimodal plat for ms to be used ) and the orig in s and dest in ations of flows. Then, transportation companies
will put out their offers, which will be considered accord in g to a comb in atorial auction mechanism .
This will result in a shared logistics activity that optimizes the use of resources.
The objective of the first part of the thesis will be to def in e the mathematical models for the problems addressed. The task will be complex as
it is a decentralized approach. Models are required at the level of each partner (shipper, carrier or logistics service providers bidd in g and auction agents).
For eseen models are based on: Offer of logistics services; Price determ in ation model for buyers of logistics services;
Comb in atorial auctions at the level of the auction agent for the "w in ner determ in ation problem"; Game shar in g solution,
Shapley value for example, to allocate ga in s result in g from auction between the vendor of the logistics service,
the buyer and the possible in termediate (cross-dock operations…).
The second part of the thesis will be devoted to the development of in novative optimization algorithms. The objective is to solve
the two ma in s and more complex models : the w in ner determ in ation problem (allocation of a logistics service to a set of shipments)
and the shar in g mechanism result in g of new allocation of services. These two problems are NP-hard problems in general.
Ad-hoc efficient methods based on mathematical programm in g will have to be developed.
