SCSC Track: Modeling and Simulation for Sustainability 2014 (MSS'14)

General Chair
Prof. Dr. Bjoern Johansson, Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden

The track “Modeling and Simulation for Sustainability” calls for contributions dealing with theory and practice in this area. Typical topics will be papers addressing sustainability by utilizing modeling and simulation by incorporating such as social, economic and ecologic aspects of sustainability for decision-making. The contribution could range from theoretical approaches/descriptions such sustainability awareness, sustainability frameworks, sustainability in research, to more applied, such as sustainability metrics, sustainability monitoring, sustainability applied in production. In particular a multidisciplinary approach is of interest for this track where two or more aspects on sustainability are combined in order to achieve better understanding of the total context of a problem/situation. Examples could be but are not limited to combinations of two or more of the following:

• Economical: Cost calculations, marketing, OEE, performance metrics.
• Social: Workplace design, ergonomics, social wellbeing, Social LCA.
• Environmental: LCA, Simplified LCA, Carbon footprint, ECO labeling etc.

Papers are solicited to address the above and related areas with focus on both the underlying methodological and theoretical foundations and practical applications.
