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.
