Dear Readers, This SNE Special Issue ‘EUROSIM Congress 2019’ publishes selected contributions presented at the EUROSIM
Congress, July 2019, Logrono, Spain. The EUROSIM Congress is the tri-annual family meeting of the European simulation
societies, the next congress to be held in summer 2023 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The Special Issue Editorial Board
suggested contributions from EUROSIM 2019 with mainly simulation-oriented topics, and with a variety in theory and application.
We were surprised by the very positive reactions of many authors, who planned to submit their publication for SNE, and some
authors have already sent their contribution – as result this SNE Special Issue with eight contributions, and some more
contributions in queue for the next SNE issues. We were also surprised about the really broad area of modelling and simulation,
reflecting also the scope of the EUROSIM congresses – and so we have chosen a word cloud for the title page, with subjects
from the contributions of this issue: Discrete-event, Digital Twins, Railway, Electrolyzer, Residual Thermodynamics, Gas Pipeline,
Wildfire, Clothes Hanging, Convolutional Networks, Hybrid Models – really significant for very broad simulation area.
We thank the special issue editors for their excellent editorial work (for details, see the special issue editorial). I would like to
thank all authors for their contributions to SNE 31(3) showing the broad variety of simulation – and the success of the EUROSIM
Congresses. And last but not least thanks to the SNE Editorial Office for layout, typesetting, preparations for printing, electronic
publishing, and much more.
