1st International Workshop on Models for Simulation (M4S) 2024

December 3, 2024, Stockholm University, Stockholm, Sweden, co-located with PoEM 2024


Simulation capitalizes on structural, behavioral, and physical models. They embody the fundamental concepts of a system, whereas simulation actualizes those principles in a dynamic setting. The modeling community is facing new issues in terms of authenticity, trustworthiness, and sensitivity of models due to the increasing popularity of digital twins which in turn capitalize on models as one of their fundamental pillars next to the physical twin, and bidirectional data exchange between the physical and virtual world. In socioeconomic systems, additional challenges emerge as some characteristics of these systems are only partially observable by sensors and require innovative ways of modeling. Models and simulations are effective instruments for comprehending, examining, and forecasting the behavior of intricate systems in several fields. To fully maximize these advantages, a thorough reassessment of the fitness of models for simulation is necessary.

Our workshop targets the following objectives:
