PADS 2027 at ACM FCRC
PADS 2027 will be held as part of the ACM Federated Computing Research Conference (FCRC). FCRC is held once every four years and brings together leading ACM conferences from multiple SIG communities.
In 2023, FCRC attracted more than 2,000 attendees. The 2023 FCRC program included conferences such as PADS, E-Energy, HPDC, ICS, ISCA, IWQoS, SIGMETRICS, PLDI, SPAA, and STOC, and the 2027 edition is expected to include even more. This co-location will provide an excellent opportunity for the PADS community to connect with researchers across computer architecture, programming languages, theory, performance, high-performance computing, energy systems, and modeling and simulation.
Call for Papers
PADS is the flagship conference of ACM SIGSIM. The conference focuses on cutting-edge research at the intersection of computer science and modeling and simulation. We welcome high-quality submissions on all aspects of advanced discrete simulation, including theory, algorithms, methodology, applications, tools, infrastructure, reproducibility, and emerging directions in modeling and simulation.
PADS 2027 will continue the two-phase submission process, allowing authors to submit to the first deadline, receive feedback, and revise for the second deadline. New submissions are also welcome at the second deadline.
Selected papers will be invited to appear in a special issue of the ACM Transactions on Modeling and Computer Simulation (TOMACS), which will complement the regular conference proceedings.
All accepted papers are expected to be presented at the conference.
We encourage you to submit your latest work to PADS 2027 and to share this announcement with your colleagues, students, and collaborators.
We look forward to seeing you in Atlanta!
