Call for Papers
2005 International Conference on Human-Computer Interface Advances for
Modeling and Simulation (SIMCHI'05)
Part of the 2005 Western Simulation MultiConference (WesternSim'05)
Sponsored by:
The Society for Modeling and Simulation International (SCS)
January 23 - 25, 2005
Wyndham New Orleans at Canal Place Hotel
New Orleans, Louisiana, USA

Questions of how humans interact with models, along with their simulations
and analyses, have been largely unexplored within Modeling and Simulation
(M&S). While significant studies exist for physical simulators, there
remain a number of issues stemming from new technologies within computing,
media, and the arts. We envisage that human-computer interaction (HCI) will
play an increasingly significant role in the computer simulation area as
HCI technologies increase in variety and decrease in expense.

This conference aims to bring together a diverse set of practitioners from
simulation, computer science, psychology, new media studies, and the arts
to explore new ways in which HCI and simulation can aid each other through
a two-way transference of ideas, methods, and tools.

Sample Topics
     visualization, aural, and tactile methodologies for simulation data,
models, and output analysis
     personalization, customization, and cultural approaches for M&S
     human interaction modalities for M&S: tangible, pervasive and
ubiquitous computing; augmented and virtual reality, aesthetic and
affective computing
     empirical cognitive studies for computer-based M&S environments
     semiotics and representational issues in M&S
     role of aesthetics and emotion in M&S
     applying analogy and metaphor to enhance M&S interfaces
     human interaction methods supporting M&S for new media: computer/video
games and cinematic productions
     using HCI in education and training within M&S environments, virtual
characters

Requirements and deadlines for submission of papers
Original papers are invited for possible publication in topical areas
related to the items listed above. Authors of accepted papers are expected
to attend the conference, present their work to their peers, transfer
copyright, and pay a conference registration fee at the time of submission
of their camera-ready six (6) page paper in PDF form.

The refereeing process for the presentations will be based on full papers.
Papers must not have been previously presented or published, nor currently
submitted for publication. Each manuscript will be subjected to a rigorous
refereeing process. The accepted papers will be published in the SIMCHI'05
proceedings by SCS. The following paper submission guidelines should be
strictly followed:

  1.. Submit electronically a 300-word abstract to the Program Chair, by
June 15, 2004. Abstracts are due to arrive at the address of the Program
Chair as an attachment to an E-mail message (in PDF format).
  2.. A cover sheet should show the title of the paper, the author(s)
name(s) and affiliation(s), and the address of the contacting author
(including e-mail, telephone, and fax) to which the correspondence should
be sent.
  3.. Feedback on the appropriateness of the abstract will be sent by the
General Chair to the contacting authors via e-mail by July 1, 2004.
  4.. Full papers should be electronically submitted in PDF (60 MB limit)
to the SCS Proceedings Central site by September 1, 2004. Papers received
after this date will be considered as long as time and program space
permit. Create an account (Create Account link on the main homepage), and
click on "Get Help Now" link (denoted by the "?" in the upper right corner
of the screen) for a detailed user guide and video help on the submission
process. Please adhere to the SCS Authors' kit guideline on the SCS Home
Page.
  5.. Notifications of acceptance status will be sent on or about October
1, 2004.
  6.. Final manuscripts need also to be electronically submitted as a PDF
file to the SCS Proceedings Central site no later than November 1, 2004 to
guarantee inclusion in the Conference Proceedings and in the final program
schedule.
