The 18th World IMACS Congress and MODSIM09 International Congress on Modelling and Simulation will be held in Cairns, Australia from the 13–17th July 2009.

For them, the practical matter under investigation and the available data are the driving forces behind the methodology chosen for the task, or in developing techniques required to analyse new models.
The Congress is the first time MSSANZ and IMACS have combined their meetings and it is sure to provide a rich forum for the exchange of knowledge about modelling and simulation.
