SimAUD 2012 - Symposium on Simulation for Architecture and Urban Design (SimAUD)

We are pleased to announce the third year of the Symposium on Simulation for Architecture and Urban Design (SimAUD) at the 2012 Spring Simulation Conference (SpringSim'12) in Orlando, FL, USA from March 26-30, 2012.

Researchers in simulation, architecture, urban design and planning, HCI, ubicomp, infoviz, etc., engineers, software developers, managers, educators, and business professionals who develop or use modeling, simulation, visualization, validation, or interaction techniques or tools related to the built environment are invited to participate and present original papers, data sets, and videos (More information).

All submissions are peer-reviewed and considered for selection by the Committee. All accepted submissions will be published in the ACM Digital Library. The conference is run in collaboration with ACM/SIGSIM and is sponsored by The Society for Modeling and Simulation International.
