<font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; ">Designing complex systems has critical implications at the strategic, tactical and operational levels for organizations in public and private sectors. Its processes often follow
an iterative and incremental path where multiple actors are involved. Design faults are difficult to foresee and could entail high costs. To tackle these problems, Simulation Based Design (SBD) allows designers to study and evaluate design alternatives, gaining
better understanding of the designed system. Although SBD holds great potential, its realization is hindered by the fact that Modelling and Simulation (M&S) is a time intensive and highly specialized activity which, with the current M&S methodology and tools,
has not been fully integrated in the design process. This track provides SBD researchers with a platform to exchange their recent research ideas, experiences and results, and to discuss related topics.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
