AIM OF ESM'2002
The ESM'2002 is the international conference concerned with state of the
art technology in modelling and simulation. For several years, ESM has
proven to be an outstanding forum for researchers involved in building
innovative simulation systems, simulation and modelling tools and
applications on both the research and industrial front. The SCS European
Simulation Multiconference features an outstanding technical program
ranging from introductory tutorials to software reviews to
state-of-the-art
research and practice. The conference includes exhibits, business
meetings
for professional societies, software user groups, and a social program.

Conference
VENUE: DARMSTADT, GERMANY
Once a residence of Hessian Landgrafen and Grand Dukes, Darmstadt
developed
into the capital city of the German state of Hessen. Following nearly
complete
destruction of the inner city in the Second World War, Darmstadt was to
pass
this title on to Wiesbaden. The city's identity had to be re-established
from
the ground up. Therefore emphasis was put on the so-called "smokeless
industry",
until the advent of computer technology.
Darmstadt calls itself the home for a number of reputed international
institutes
such as the European space research organizations ESOC and EUMETSAT, the
Heavy
Ion Research Association (GSI), the GMD Research Centre Information
Technology
GmbH, the Research Centre Deutsche Telekom and the Fraunhofer Institute
for
Graphic Data Processing, to name only a few. Commercial firms of
international
format (Merck, Röhm, Schenck, Wella) on one hand and institutions of the
arts
(Industrial Design, New Music etc.) and sciences (several universities)
are within
close vicinity. Today, Darmstadt, located in the middle of the
Starkenburg Region
and at the outskirts of one of the most active economic areas, the
?Rhein-Main?,
is considered as one of the centres for information, communication and
software
technologies.
