Polarized electron and positron beams are foreseen for the future International Linear Collider (ILC), with polarized electrons already included in the baseline design and polarized positrons seen as a highly-desirable upgrade. High precision physics requires the polarization of both beams to be known with a relative uncertainty of approximately 0.5% or better. Therefore all possible depolarization effects that could operate between the polarized sources and the interaction regions have to be carefully modelled. The "heLiCal" collaboration aims to provide a full "cradle-to-grave" analysis of all depolarization effects at the ILC, and to develop software tools to carry out appropriate computer simulations. In this paper we report on the first phase of our work which includes extensive simulations of the ILC spin-dynamics and a detailed study of beam-beam depolarization effects at the interaction point(s).
