We are pleased to invite submissions for the Work-in-Progress (WiP) Workshop at the Annual Modeling and Simulation Conference (ANNSIM) 2026, to be held in Orlando, Florida. This workshop provides a unique platform for researchers, including students and early-career professionals, to present ongoing research and receive valuable feedback from the ANNSIM community.

The WiP Workshop aims to foster collaboration and discussion among researchers by providing an opportunity to present preliminary results, innovative ideas, and emerging research directions. This workshop is particularly beneficial for those seeking feedback on their work or looking to engage with the broader modeling and simulation community.

Paper Length: Submissions should be 4 pages in length, including figures and references.

Publication: Accepted papers will be published in the SCS Digital Library and included in the conference proceedings. Please note that these papers will not be published in IEEE/ACM, allowing authors to expand and submit their work to future conferences.

Format: Submissions must adhere to the ANNSIM 2026 formatting guidelines, which can be found on the conference website: https://annsim.org/submission-guidelines/#authorkitsubmission

Submission Deadline: March 2, 2026

Acceptance Notification: March 16, 2026

We welcome submissions on all aspects of modeling and simulation, including but not limited to:

Innovative modeling techniques

Simulation methodologies

Applications in various domains (e.g., healthcare, engineering)

Emerging technologies in simulation

Interdisciplinary approaches (e.g. artificial intelligence, social sciences)

Feedback: Receive constructive feedback from peers and experts in the field.

Networking: Engage with fellow researchers and industry professionals.

Presentation: Present your work in a supportive environment and gain visibility within the community.
