The first simulation workshop, held in March 2002, brought
together
practitioners and academics from the UK and from overseas.
It provided an
opportunity to exchange ideas on the current and future state-of-the-art
in
simulation modelling, with a particular focus on discrete-event
simulation.
Following the success of this event, a second workshop is
to be held in
March 2004. 
We are also proud to announce that this will
be held in
cooperation with the Association for Computing Machinery's
Special Interest
Group for Simulation (ACM SIGSIM).
The OR Society and organisers of the Simulation Workshop
gratefully acknowledge the following organisations for their
valued support:
- BTexact
- Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl)
- Lanner Group Limited
- Paragon Simulation
- SIMUL8 Corporation
