Ramtin Attar and Azam Khan wrote a great article on the 10th-year anniversary of SimAUD and growing a research community around simulation. Check it out here:
“In 10 years, researchers from leading academic and industry research groups representative of 36 countries have attended SimAUD, with a yearly average of 45 organizations from 18 countries in recent years. But the diversity of our community extends beyond topics, domains and continents. We have now broken a new ceiling in gender diversity with female researchers capturing 51% of the work presented at SimAUD 2019.”
