 The workshop aims to bring together experts in model-based,
 model-driven and software engineering with experts in simulation
 methods and simulation practitioners, with the objective to advance
 the state of the art in model-driven simulation engineering.
 
 Model-driven engineering approaches provide considerable advantages
 to software systems engineering activities through the provision of
 consistent and coherent models at different abstraction levels. As
 these models are in a machine readable form, model-driven engineering
 approaches can also support the exploitation of computing
 capabilities for model reuse, programming code generation, and model
 checking, for example.
 
 The definition of a simulation model, its software implementation and
 its execution platform form what is known as simulation
 engineering. As simulation systems are mainly based on software,
 these systems can similarly benefit from model-driven approaches to
 support automatic software generation, enhance software quality, and
 reduce costs, development effort and time-to-market.
 
 Similarly to systems and software engineering, simulation engineering
 can exploit the capabilities of model-driven approaches by increasing
 the abstraction level in simulation model specifications and by
 automating the derivation of simulator code. Further advantages can
 be gained by using modeling languages, such as UML and SysML – but
 not exclusively those. For example, modeling languages can be used
 for descriptive modeling (to describe the system to be simulated),
 for analytical modeling (to specify analytically the simulation of
 the same system), and for implementation modeling (to define the
 respective simulator).
 
 A partial list of topics of interest includes: 
 
 * model-driven simulation engineering processes 
 * requirements modeling for simulation 
 * domain specific languages for modeling and simulation 
 * model transformations for simulation model building 
 * model transformations for simulation model implementation 
 * model-driven engineering of distributed simulation systems 
 * relationship between metamodeling standards (e.g., MOF, Ecore) and
   distributed simulation standards (e.g., HLA, DIS)  
 * metamodels for simulation reuse and interoperability 
 * model-driven technologies for different simulation paradigms
   (discrete event simulation, multi-agent simulation, sketch-based *
   simulation, etc.)  
 * model-driven methods and tools for performance engineering of
   simulation systems  
 * simulation tools for model-driven software performance engineering 
 * model-driven technologies for simulation verification and validation 
 * model-driven technologies for data collection and analysis 
 * model-driven technologies for simulation visualization 
 * Executable UML 
 * Executable Architectures 
 * SysML / Modelica integration 
 * Simulation Model Portability and reuse 
 * model-based systems verification and validation 
 * simulation for model-based systems engineering 
 
 To stimulate creativity, however, the workshop maintains a wider
 scope and welcomes contributions offering original perspectives on
 model-driven engineering of simulation systems.

 On-Line Submissions and Publication
 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
 We invite paper submissions in three forms:
 
 1. Full paper (max 8 pages), describing innovative research
 results. These papers are eligible for the best paper award and may
 be invited for an extended version in a special issue of the SCS
 SIMULATION journal.

 2. Work-in-progress paper (max 6 pages), describing novel research
 ideas and promising work that have not yet been fully evaluated.

 3. Short paper (max 6 pages), describing industrial and hands-on
 experience on any relevant area (i.e. military, government, space,
 etc.).
 
 All the papers must be submitted through the SCS conference
 management systems (http://www.softconf.com/scs/DEVS13/) and select
 the Mod4Sim track. The submissions must be in PDF format and conform
 to the SCS conference template (Word template is available at
 http://www.scs.org/upload/documents/templates/ConferenceSubmissionWORDTemplate.doc
 , guidelines are available at
 http://www.scs.org/PDFs/formattingkit.pdf). All the submitted papers
 must be original and not submitted else where. Submitted papers will
 be peer reviewed with respect to their quality, originality and
 relevance. The authors of the accepted papers must register in
 advance for inclusion of their paper in the conference
 proceedings. Authors of accepted papers will be invited to update
 their papers basing on the reviews, before providing the camera
 ready.
 
 All accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings
 and archived in both the ACM Digital Library. However, **only**
 accepted **full papers** will be printed in hard copy.
 
 Authors may contact the organizers for expression of interest and
 content appropriateness at any time.
