Proceedings of the 58th Conference on Simulation and Modelling (SIMS 58) Reykjavik, Iceland, September 25th – 27th, 2017

Welcome to the 58th Conference on Simulation Modelling and Optimization in Reykjavik, Iceland. Reykjavik is the northernmost and one of the smallest capital cities in the world. Although small for a capital, it is the country’s largest and most populated city and with the urban area population of around 200000, it is the home of the vast majority of Iceland’s people. The city is pioneer in the use of geothermal energy to provide low-cost heating and electricity. Iceland’s energy consumption per capita is among the highest in the world, and the proportion of this consumption provided by renewable energy sources exceeds most other countries. The electricity is produced almost entirely from renewable energy sources, hydroelectric (70%) and geothermal (30%) and simulation, modelling and optimization are the key elements to utilize the renewable energy more efficiently.
