CONFERENCE TOPICS

The 14th SCS European Simulation Symposium aims to bring together 
scientists, developers and users of leading edge simulation technology. 
By providing a number of themed tracks (both fundamental themes and 
application areas), the Programme Committee has attempted to provide 
foci for scientific contributions while offering an opportunity to the
participants to engage in stimulating discussions with colleagues who 
may have quite different application frames of reference. The 
conference will feature seven tracks and two workshops.

The conference tracks will cover the following topics:

KEYNOTE:
Tether-free technologies in e-Manufacturing, e-Maintenance and 
e-Service?
Prof. Dr. Jay Lee

Prof. Dr. Jay Lee is Wisconsin Distinguished and Rockwell Automation 
Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee as well as Director
of Industry / University Cooperative Research Center on Intelligent 
Maintenance Systems (IMS). Previously, he served as Director for 
Product Development and Manufacturing at the United Technologies 
Research Center (E. Hartford, CT). Currently he is a member of Board
on Manufacturing and Engineering Design (BMAED) of National Research 
Council (NRC), and a member of Board of Directors for the National 
Center for Manufacturing Science (NCMS).

Prof Lee will cover the following topics in his lecture:

- state-of-the-art practices on wireless technologies and standards 
- e-Manufacturing Systems Architecture 
- definition and needs in e-Manufacturing, e-Maintenance and e-Service 
- opportunities and barriers in using wireless technologies in 
  manufacturing 

EXHIBITION
The exhibition is aimed at companies designing simulation products. 
The program provides specific time blocks designed to enhance vendor 
contact with attendees.

Tutorials
Tutorials can be proposed in the following three categories:

              T1- Introductory tutorials

              T2- State of the Art Tutorials

              T3- Software and ModelwareTutorials

Poster Sessions:
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 city of Dresden.
The residence of the Saxon electors and kings has brought forth 
important architectural gems for centuries. This is seen most clearly
today in the Dresden Palace, for example, which presents traces of 
practically every style period of European architecture. Nevertheless,
the contemporary fame of Dresden?s architecture is founded on its 
Baroque buildings. As Kings of Poland, Augustus the Strong and his son
had Dresden transformed into one of the most exquisite royal residences
in Europe. Impressive testimonies to the Baroque period are today the 
Zwinger by Pöppelmann and Permoser, the Blockhaus, the Taschenberg 
Palais and George Bähr?s Frauenkirche church.
The Classicist years represented a second important zenith for the 
City?s development with the art gallery and opera house by Gottfried
Semper and Schinkel?s guardhouse on Theaterplatz square. tise.

The conference will be held at ESAG City Centre
