[Bldg-sim] American Modelica Conference 2026: Call for papers

[Michael Wetter]

*CALL FOR PAPERS*
American Modelica & FMI Conference 2026 - October 12-14, 2026 - Submission
Deadline May 1, 2026
The Modelica and FMI Conference is the main event for users, library
developers, tool vendors and language designers to share their knowledge
and learn about the latest scientific and industrial progress related to
Modelica, FMI, SSP, eFMI and DCP. The program will cover processes and
tools for the modeling of complex physical and cyber-physical systems as
applied to a wide range of research and industrial applications.
We invite you to participate in the 2026 American Modelica & FMI
Conference, to be held in Atlanta, GA at the Aerospace Systems Design
Laboratory. The event will feature both technical presentations of
peer-reviewed papers and industrial user presentations without a paper that
focus on application aspects interesting to the community.
For the 2026 conference we will include a new track on the structure and
application of equation-oriented modeling languages other than Modelica
into the program, since we see many similarities that will enrich a
conversation centered on principles of equation-oriented modeling. We
invite users of these other modeling languages to submit their technical
publications to this conference. We hope that the broader scope will
benefit the growth of equation-oriented modeling.
For scientific presentations, you are encouraged to submit a full paper
until May 1, 2026. Every submitted paper will be reviewed by at least 3
reviewers. If you would like to submit an industrial user group
presentation, you are encouraged to submit an abstract only (no paper
submission) until June 1, 2026.
Prospective authors of scientific presentations are encouraged to submit a
full paper of at least 4 pages, with a maximum of 10 pages, on the
following topics:

   - Multi-engineering modeling and simulation with Modelica or other
   equation-oriented modeling languages (mechanics, electrical, hydraulics,
   thermal, fluid, media, chemical, building, automotive, aircraft, …)
   - Automotive applications
   - Thermodynamic and energy systems applications
   - Mechatronics and robotics applications
   - Medicine and biology applications
   - Other industrial applications, such as electric drives, power systems,
   aerospace, etc.
   - Large-scale system modelling
   - Real-time and hardware-in-the-loop simulation
   - Simulation and code generation for embedded control systems
   - Simulation acceleration by use of many CPU cores or GPU cores
   - Applications of modeling techniques for optimization and optimal
   control
   - Modeling, simulation and design tools
   - Symbolic algorithms and numerical methods for model transformation and
   simulation
   - Discrete modeling techniques − FEM, CFD, DEM (Discrete Element
   Method), …
   - New features of the Modelica language and of FMI
   - Experimental language designs and implementations
   - Use of languages for teaching and education
   - FMI applications and tools
   - Applications and tools related to Modelica Association standards,
   including FMI, eFMI, SSP, and DCP

The papers presented will be published by LiU Electronic Press and be
available at no cost to interested readers.
*Call for Industrial User Presentations*
You are encouraged to submit an extended abstract of 1-2 pages, related to
one of the existing or possibly new Modelica Association Projects
<https://modelica.org/projects>:

   - LANG - Modelica Language
   - LIB - Modelica Libraries
   - FMI - Functional Mockup Interface
   - eFMI - Functional Mockup Interface for embedded systems
   - SSP - System Structure and Parameterization of Components for Virtual
   System Design
   - DCP - Distributed Co-Simulation Protocol

The extended abstract in PDF or MS Word format of about 500 words should be
submitted through the EasyChair Conference Management System
<https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=namugamc2026> before June 1st,
2026. Please note this link only works properly if you 1) Have an account
on Easychair <https://www.easychair.org/> and 2) are logged into the
account when you click the link. Industrial user presentations are an
excellent way to present recent results to the Modelica community with less
effort and overhead than a full paper submission. Please indicate whether
you plan to give your presentation on-site or remotely in the submission
form. These industrial user presentations differ from paper presentations,
which we expect to be in-person.
These abstracts will be peer-reviewed by experts, but no corresponding
papers will be published in the conference proceedings.
Please note that purely tool-related presentations are not permitted for
these application-oriented presentations, and should instead be
covered by vendor
presentations, which are reserved for sponsors.
*Call for Tutorials*
At the Modelica conference, several tutorials will take place in parallel.
Each tutorial will last for up to 4 hours and includes a
“hands-on-experience” session (participants are expected to have own
notebook; the presenter will provide the presented tools). If you are
interested, please use the application form for Workshops and Tutorials
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSelZCdRQzg8qHhTdjf_J39wCVQMR2H2WHQDR6GLfcur25gK7g/viewform?usp=sharing&ouid=102747003738820976639>.
The deadline for application is June 1st, 2026; however, as only a limited
number of tutorials can be held in parallel, we advise you to apply as
early as possible.
Tutorials are free for the participants, but especially for commercial
tools the presenter is charged $250 per session, provided it is a hands on
training tutorial, not just commercial presentation or demonstration (for
product presentations see Vendor sessions above). Upon written request some
tutorials, especially non-commercial, (e.g. FMI, Open Source libraries
etc.), could be exempted from the fee by decision of the organising
committee.
Decision about the acceptance of tutorials will be based upon Modelica/FMI
relation of content and on the time of application.
Payment of fees will be handled through our registration links via
Eventbrite.
*Student Best Paper Competition*
The 2026 American Modelica Conference is pleased to announce the Student
Best Paper Award. First-listed authors of regular or invited papers who
were students at the time of submission are eligible. The academic advisor
must write a nomination letter (maximum of 1 page) describing the
contribution of the nominee to the paper and to the state of the art. The
nomination letter should also confirm that the first author is a registered
student at the time of submission. Note that only a single lead author of a
paper can be nominated; if two students on the same paper are nominated,
both nominations will be disqualified.

We hope to see you in Atlanta in October,
Michael Wetter
Program Co-Chair
