The 2002 Winter Simulation Conference (WSC '02) will be held December 8'11, 2002, at the Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego in San Diego, California, USA. The Winter Simulation Conference (WSC) is a premier international forum for disseminating recent advances in the field of system simulation, with the principal focus being discrete-event simulation and combined discrete-continuous simulation. In addition to a technical program of unsurpassed scope and quality, WSC provides a central meeting place for simulation practitioners, researchers, and vendors working in all disciplines and in the industrial, governmental, and academic sectors.
This year's conference features a comprehensive program ranging from introductory tutorials to state-of-the-art research and practice. There are 13 tracks with over 200 presentations focused on simulation uses across the enterprise from supply-chain integration to e-commerce, customer service, modeling and analysis methodology, and applications in manufacturing, military, healthcare, transportation, logistics, and distribution.
