Simulation Notes Europe (SNE) provides an international, high-quality forum for presentation of new ideas and approaches in simulation-from modelling to experiment analysis, from implementation to verification, from validation to identification, from numerics to visualisation-in context of the simulation process. SNE seeks to serve scientists, researchers, developers and users of the simulation process across a variety of theoretical and applied fields in pursuit of novel ideas in simulation and to enable the exchange of experience and knowledge through descriptions of specific applications. SNE follows the recent developments and trends of modelling and simulation in new and/or joining application areas, as complex systems and big data. SNE puts special emphasis on the overall view in simulation, and on comparative investigations, as benchmarks and comparisons in methodology and application. For this purpose, SNE documents the ARGESIM Benchmarks on Modelling Approaches and Simulation Implementations with publication of definitions, solutions and discussions. SNE welcomes also contributions in education in/for/with simulation. A News Section in SNE provides information on EUROSIM Simulation Societies and Simulation Groups. SNE, primarily an electronic journal, follows an open access strategy, with free download in basic layout. SNE is the official membership journal of EUROSIM, the Federation of European Simulation Societies and Simulation Groupswww.eurosim.info. Members of EUROSIM societies are entitled to download SNE in an elaborate and extended layout, and to access additional sources of benchmark publications, model sources, etc. Print SNE is available for specific groups of EU-ROSIM societies, and starting with Volume 27 (2017) as printon-demand from TU Verlag, TU Wien. SNE is DOI indexed by CrossRef, identified by DOI prefix 10.11128, assigned to the SNE publisher ARGESIM (www.argesim.org). Author's Info. Individual submissions of scientific papers are welcome, as well as post-conference publications of contributions from conferences of EUROSIM societies. SNE welcomes special issues, either dedicated to special areas and/or new developments, or on occasion of events as conferences and workshops with special emphasis. Authors are invited to submit contributions which have not been published and have not being considered for publication elsewhere to the SNE Editorial Office. SNE distinguishes different types of contributions (Notes), i.e. • TN Technical Note, 6-10 p. • EN Education Note, 6-10 p. • PN Project Note 6-10 p. • SN Short Note, max. 6 p. • SW Software Note , 4-6 p. • BN Benchmark Note, 2-10 p.
