2018 International Symposium on Simulation and Process Modelling (ISSPM 2018) will be held on July 21-22, 2018, in Shenyang, China. The symposium provides a forum for scholars, researchers and practitioners interested in the modelling and simulation of business processes, production and industrial processes, service and administrative processes, and public sector processes to develop the theory and practice of simulation and process modelling.
The symposium will invite leaders from industry and academia to exchange and share their experiences, present research results, explore collaborations and to spark new ideas, with the aim of developing new projects and exploiting new technology in these fields, and bridge theoretical studies and practical applications in all science and engineering branches. It is organised by the Northeastern University, Shenyang, China, and the Shenyang JianZhu University, Shenyang, China.
Submission Guidelines
The prospective authors of the Symposium are kindly invited to submit full-text papers including results, tables, figures, and references. Full text papers (.pdf or .doc) will be accepted. All submitted papers should report original, previously unpublished research results, experimental or theoretical related to the topics of the Symposium.
All of the submitted papers to the Symposium will be distributed to the IPC members for review. Each paper is limited to 12 to 15 pages normally, and additional pages will be charged. Please follow the Template and Instructions provided on the website of the Symposium. Please follow the format and the requirements carefully.
The papers submitted to the Symposium should meet these criteria and must not be under consideration for publication elsewhere. The manuscripts should follow the style of the Symposium and are subject to both review and editing.

Biography
Peter Ball is Professor of Operations Management and Director for Business and Community Engagement at The York Management School. The school belongs to the University of York, one of the prestigious UK "Russell Group" research intensive universities.
His research focuses on how operations can be designed and improved. Application areas span manufacturing, supply chain and service. His research takes a ‘hard’ view of processes by developing and applying modelling and simulation techniques to understand performance as well as a ‘soft’ view of processes by creating and capturing methods and practices that underpin performance. Environmental sustainability and resource efficiency feature strongly.
Peter has published this work in numerous papers globally in journals, conferences and practitioner publications. As a result of this he has co-chaired three international conferences. Additionally, he publishes for a practitioner audience, including authoring the Institution of Engineering and Technology's (IET) Sustainable Manufacturing Insight series.
Peter has won, led and supported many technology transfer programmes with local industry directly or through the use of Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) programmes on projects ranging from business process improvement projects, manufacturing simulation, sustainable manufacturing and supply chain developments. Peter was recruited as a Supply Chain Counsellor by Scottish Enterprise to work with electronics companies to improve their business performance through benchmarking and focused bottom line improvement programmes.
Recent work has been funded through the UK’s EPSRC (Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council) and Innovate UK on service simulation and sustainable manufacturing, notably in the THrough-life Energy and Resource Modelling (THERM) project and the EPSRC Centre for Innovative Manufacturing (CIM) in Industrial Sustainability. At the University of York he has led several projects in the last year for the food and drink industry aimed at improving environmental.
