The Modelica Association and arsenal research organize the 5^th International Modelica Conference.
It will take place

September 4^th - 5^th, 2006

Modelica is a freely available, object-oriented language for convenient and efficient modeling and simulation of complex, multi-domain physical systems described by ordinary differential and algebraic equations. The comprehensive Modelica Standard Library has been utilized in demanding industrial applications, including full vehicle dynamics, power systems, robotics, hardware-in-the-loop simulations and embedded control systems with nonlinear Modelica models.

The Modelica conference will bring together people interested in Modelica, Modelica language designers, Modelica tool vendors and Modelica library developers. It provides Modelica users the opportunity to stay informed about the latest language and library developments and to get in touch with people working on similar modeling problems. The conference is planned for about 200 participants and will cover topics such as the following:

• Multi-engineering modeling and simulation with Modelica
• Free and commercial Modelica libraries
  (mechanics, electrical, hydraulics, thermal, fluid, media, chemical, building, automotive, aircraft, ...)
• Automotive applications
• Thermodynamic systems applications
• Other industrial applications, such as electric drives, power systems, robotics, aerospace ...
• Hardware-in-the-loop simulation and embedded control systems
• Modelica modeling, simulation and design tools
• Symbolic algorithms for model transformations
• Modelica in other application areas (mathematical programming, databases etc.)
• Modelica for teaching and education

In addition to traditional sessions the conference will include:

• Modelica tutorials for different levels of modeling experience
• Poster session
• Modelica Award for the 2 best free Modelica libraries (500 + 250 Euro)
• Users group meetings
• Vendor's presentations of commercial and free Modelica tools

The registration page and accommodation/traveling information will be available within a few days.

Call for Papers:

You are encouraged to submit an extended abstract of 2 pages, outlining the material you propose to present or a full paper of maximum length of 10 pages. The paper in PDF format should be submitted via a weblink at www.webstracts.com.

Call for Libraries:

You are encouraged to submit a free Modelica application library in Modelica source code form. The best two application libraries will get an award of 500 and 250 Euro. The library should be sent to the program chair (modelica2006@modelica.org).
With the exception of the members of the Modelica Association and their respective organizations, everyone can apply for this award.
Links to home pages of accepted libraries will be placed on the Modelica home page.
Accepted libraries will be included on the conference CD-ROM.

Call for Exhibitors:

During the conference developers and vendors have the chance to present their Modelica-related products and services, like:

• Modeling, simulation and design tools
• Modelica libraries
• Consulting and engineering with Modelica
