AIM OF ISC'2003

The Industrial Simulation Conference 2003 (ISC-2003) is the annual 
international Simulation conference, which aims to give a complete 
overview of industrial simulation related research and to provide an 
annual status report on present day industrial simulation research for 
the European
Community and the rest of the world. With the integration of artificial 
intelligence, agents and other modelling 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 ISC-2003.  ISC'2003 consists of four major 
parts. A part concerns itself with simulation methodology, another with 
simulation applications, then there are the workshops, the exhibition 
and last but not least the poster sessions for students.

Verification Validation and Accreditation
The term validation is applied to those processes, which seek to 
determine whether or not a simulation is correct with respect to the 
"real" system. More prosaically, validation is concerned with the 
question "Are we building the right system?". Verification, on the other 
hand, seeks to answer the question "Are we building the system right?"
This track is interested in simulation validation methodologies: 
methodologies to support the process of constructing a simulation model 
and then aiding the validation of this model to the "real" system. These 
system models can be discrete, continuous or hybrid. Application areas 
range from information systems to engineering and scientific systems. 
Relevant parameters include performance, properties given by formal or 
informal requirements, exception handling etc. In this conference track, 
contributions from all areas of simulation and validation are solicited. 
Topics include, but are not limited to those given below.
VV&A methodology (effective VV&A, VV&A planning, confidence levels, risk 
estimation, organisation, documentation, standards, cost estimation, 
technique application, result presentation, subject matter expert (SME) 
selection, formal model specification, fidelity, automation potential), 
VV&A technology (documentation, CASE-tools, cross checking, requirements 
specification, knowledge based systems, configuration management, tool 
overview, simulation environments)

WORKSHOP ON INTELLIGENT TRANSPORT SYSTEMS
A broad range of diverse technologies, known collectively as intelligent 
transportation systems (ITS), holds the answer to many of our 
transportation problems. ITS is comprised of a number of technologies, 
including information processing, communications, control, and 
electronics. Joining these technologies to our transportation system 
will save lives, time and money.  ITS enables people and goods to move 
more safely and efficiently through a state-of-the-art, intermodal 
transportation system. Simulating this aspect of transportation is one 
of the major challenges of our time.
