Why to attend EUROSIM 2007

• EUROSIM 2007 will be the key event of the EUROSIM
  - Federation of European Simulation Societies.
• EUROSIM 2007 will be a high-quality congress with
  plenary lectures, tutorials, regular sessions,
  special sessions, students session, poster
  sessions, exhibitions (books).
• EUROSIM 2007 will include interesting social
  events.
• EUROSIM 2007 will take place in Slovenia, one of
  Europe's top tourist destinations, where the
  Alpine region meets the Mediterranean Sea.
  Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, and host to
  the EUROSIM 2007, is a lively, university city
  with a wide variety of attractions for visitors.

SCOPE AND TOPICS The scope includes all aspects
of continuous, discrete (event) and hybrid
modelling, simulation, identification and
optimisation approaches. So the common
denominator is problems solving with modelling
and simulation in a way that can be useful also
for solving other problems in similar or
different areas. Contributions from technical
(engineering) areas but also from nontechnical
areas are welcome. MS methods and technologies
Modelling and simulation of complex, large
scale, distributed, hybrid, hierarchical,
stochastic, control, expert, adaptive, fuzzy,
decision support, multivariable, multiagent,
reconfigurable, agent based, knowledge based,
real time, queuing systems, scheduling, parallel
processing concepts, high performance computing,
MS system architectures, neural networks, model
validation and verification, simulation lifecycle
evolution, genetic algorithms, man-in-the loop
simulation, hardware-in-the loop simulation,
nested simulation models, distributed enterprise
simulation, data mining, bond graphs, simulation
with Petri nets, discrete event simulation,
statistic modelling, component based modelling,
object oriented modelling, mathematical
/numerical methods in simulation, graphical
modelling, nano technology modelling, embedded
and firmware modelling, middleware architecture
modelling, visualisation, graphics and animation,
modelling and simulation tools, WEB based
simulation, human behaviour representation
techniques, virtual reality and virtual
environments, CAD/CAM/CIM/CAE, experiential
