Message from the General Chairs
Bienvenue á Marseille, and welcome to SIMUTools'08. With SIMUTools we are initiating a new forum for discussing simulation modeling tools, methodology, and applications. And we hope it provides you opportunities to form new relationships and collaborations.
Much effort, by many volunteers, has gone into the technical programs, tutorial, and workshops. We would like to express our appreciation to all of them for their many hours donated to ensure the success of this conference. In particular, we wish to acknowledge the invaluable contribution of program chairs, Olivier Dalle and Gabriel Wainer, who have assembled the excellent technical program. We also wish to acknowledge the important contributions of Bozidar Radunovic and Herb Schwetman, for organizing the Industrial Track, and Workshop Committees for preparing such highquality complementary events.
Special thanks are due the ICST staff, especially Agnes Juhasz, who guided us through the numerous tasks required to plan and organize this conference.
Finally, We want to thanks authors for submitting papers, and all of you for your participation.
We hope that you find the program stimulating and informative.
