CONFERENCE TOPICS
The 13th annual European Simulation Symposium concentrates on the industrial
application of simulators and computer technology. Increasingly the industrial
application of simulation is being used by companies, to analyze their
relative
strengths and weaknesses and to focus on specific processes open for
improvement. With the integration of artificial intelligence and other
modeling
techniques, simulation has become an effective and appropriate decision
support
tool, as well. The exchange of techniques and ideas among universities and
industry, which support the integration of simulation in the everyday
workplace,
is the basic premise at the heart of ESS'2001. ESS'2001 consists of four major
parts. A part concerns itself with simulation applications, another with
simulation methodology, then there are the workshops, the exhibition and last
but not least the poster sessions for students..
The application section covers: Automation, CAD/CAM/CAE, Defense Electronics,
Design Automation, Simulation in industrial Design, Industrial Engineering,
Industrial and Process Simulation, Manufacturing, OR, Business and Services
Simulations, Emergency Management, Environmental Sciences and Mission Earth,
Intelligence and Security, Logistics and Transport, Power Plants, Multibody
Systems, Aerospace, Training and Educational Support., Distributed Interactive
Simulation
The methodologies section covers: Simulation Methodologies, Languages and
Tools,
Artificial Intelligence, Knowledge Based Simulation, Virtual Reality,
Synthetic
Environments, Petri Nets and Performance Analysis.
There will be four theme specific workshops at the conference: the DEVS
workshop, the Ecology Workshop, the Bond Graph Workshop and the Artificial
Neural Networks Workshop. The DEVS Workshop will cover: Extensions to the DEVS
formalism, DEVS and Distributed DEVS frameworks, DEVS-based next generation
VHDL, DEVS standardization, DEVS applications
The Ecology Workshop's main goal is to enhance the
transdisciplinarity and
to facilitate contacts and dialogs between computer scientists and specialists
of Environmental Sciences. Since 10 years the modelling process took benefits
from recent (and less recent) techniques of computer science : Object-Oriented
Languages, Discrete Event Simulation, Concepts
of Agent and Actor, Fuzzy Logic, UML, model - GIS interface, Web-based
simulation... Many, many simulators were built in the wide spectra of
environment managing, predictive models of forest growth, fishing, climate and
other biological processes.
Papers dealing with ecological modelling (in a large sense) are welcome. As
for
instance few topics are indicated:
Applications: Environment managing, Waste managing, Ecosystem dynamics
(terrestrial and oceanographic ecology) Population dynamics (diseases &
epidemics, changes in biodiversity, genome, predator-prey relationships,
fishing...), Population behaviour, Individual behaviour, involving
methodologies such as : Artificial Intelligence, Distributed Interactive
Simulation High-Performance Computing Languages , Modelling Techniques,
Simulation Methodologies & Tools , Synthetic Environment , Virtual Reality ,
Petri nets DEVS and Bond Graphs
The Bond Graph Workshop will bring experts together for the
purpose of
discussing new concepts, methods, techniques tools and applications of this
energy-based modeling methodology. Papers dealing with all aspects of the
use of
bond graphs in system design, analysis, and control are welcome. The workshop
will provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of recent research
and
applications of the Bond Graph methodology.
Research papers are welcome in the following categories of presentation:
Tutorials, Panel Discussions, Software and Tools,
Bond Graph Theory, Advanced Bond Graph Methodology, Bond Graphs and Block
Diagrams, Computer Graphics and Bond Graph Modeling, Qualitative Modeling,
Mechatronics Systems, Mechanical Systems and Robotics, Electrical and Power
Systems, Control Systems, Thermal and Chemical Systems, Biomechanics and
Prosthetics, Ecological Systems, Biological and Medical Systems, Social and
Economic Systems, Industrial Applications, Large, Non-linear Models
The Artificial Neural Networks Workshop will provide a forum for the
presentation and discussion of recent research and applications of artificial
neural networks such as in machine learning, data analysis and simulation. The
aim of the workshop is to encourage and facilitate interdisciplinary
communication amongst university and industry professionals in applying ANN.
Papers dealing with ANN applications (in a large sense) are welcome. As for
instance few topics are indicated: Classification, Data analysis, Fault
tolerance, Forecasting, Knowledge acquisition, Economics and Finance,
Planning,
Pre-treatment of the data, Process control, Robotics, Speech and image
recognition, Web intelligence, involving methodologies such as : Hybrid
systems
(GA, fuzzy, symbolic representation, Methods or tools for evaluating ANN
performance, Reinforcement Learning, Simulation tools (research, education,
development), ...
The exhibition is aimed at companies designing simulation products. The
program
provides specific time blocks designed to enhance vendor contact with
attendees.
The poster sessions are devoted to Ph.D. Students who can come to present and
discuss their thesis work with experts in the area of simulation.
Ph.D.Students
should submit overview articles, describing the area of their research
CONFERENCE SITE
The conference will be held in the beautiful French city of Marseilles,
used as
many a backdrop of many a great movie. The city lies on the crossroads of the
orient and the easy-going life of the south of France. Famous for its Old
Fishing Port and fine food. The fishing port made famous by the many works of
Marcel Pagnol. Next to the Old port, the city boasts a very well preserved
inner
city dating back to the 17th century. The townhall for example dates back from
that era and as Marseille used to be, next to Toulon an important strategic
town
for the French Navy, many remnants of that illustrious past still abound.. One
of the main attractions of the city for naval buffs is the naval museum, which
houses some of the finest naval exhibits in the world.
So, make sure Marseilles is the destination for you this Autumn and be at
ESS'2001., thePlace to meet simulation experts in your field of expertise.
The conference will be held at The Mercure Marseille Euro-Centre. Right next to
the CMCI and close to the Canebiere and the chamber of commerce, part of the
Bourse mall, the hotel overflows the famous "Vieux-Port"and the "Jardin des
Vestiges. The hotel offers 199 guest rooms. Also available: bar,
restaurant, 12
meeting rooms for 300 people. Pets are allowed, car park available.
