Call for Papers

This annual conference sponsored by the Society for Computer Simulation International is a forum for professionals involved in modeling and simulation in the health sciences. Application areas include health services studies, pharmacometrics, drug and device development, medical practice, physiology, and methodological inquiries.

Practitioners of modeling are encouraged to submit proposals based on their applications and demonstrations of computer simulation techniques. Applications presented in the past and planned for the next conference are indicated in the general sessions list shown below.
