Eighth International Workshop on Simulation Vienna, September 21-25, 2015
First announcement
The Eighth International Workshop on Simulation 
will be held in Vienna in September 21-25, 2015 
in memory of Luidmila Kopylova -- Melas, the wife 
of Viatcheslav Melas. She passed away in 
September 21, 2013 and was a shadow secretary of 
the whole series of our simulation workshops.
The conference will be organized by the Center of 
Experimental Design of 
<http://www.eng.stat.unibo.it/>Institute of 
Applied Statistics and Computation of 
the  University of Life Sciences Vienna in 
collaboration with the 
<http://www.uni-klu.ac.at/tewi/tema/stat/>Department 
of 
Statistics<http://www.gest.unipd.it/en?set_language=en> 
of the Alpen-Adria University Klagenfurt, the 
<http://stmod.math.spbu.ru/start>Department of 
Statistical Modelling of Saint Petersburg State 
University and 
<http://www.informs.org/Community/Simulation-Society>INFORMS 
Simulation Society (USA).
This international conference is devoted to 
statistical techniques in stochastic simulation, 
data collection and analysis of scientific 
experiments and studies representing broad areas 
of interest. The 1st- 6th Workshops took place in 
St. Petersburg (Russia) in 1994, 1996, 1998, 
2001, 2005 and 2009. The Seventh International 
Workshop on Simulation took place in Rimini (Italy) in 2013.
