AIM OF ISC'2012
The aim of the 10th annual Industrial Simulation Conference (ISC'2012,
the premier industrial simulation conference in Europe, is to give a
complete overview of this year's industrial simulation related
research and to provide an annual status report on present day
industrial simulation research within the European Community and the
rest of the world in line with European industrial research projects.
With the integration of artificial intelligence, agents and other
modelling techniques, simulation has become an effective and
appropriate decision support tool in industry. 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'2012 conference. The ISC'2012 conference
consists of four major parts; the first part concerns itself with
discrete event simulation methodology, the second and biggest part
with industrial simulation applications, a third one with industrial
themed workshops, and last but not least the fourth part, namely the
poster sessions for students. The whole is then illustrated by an
exhibition.
The ISC also focuses on simulation applications for the factory of the
future (e.g. transformable factories, networked factories, learning
factories, digital factories) depending on different drivers such as
high performance, high customisation, environmental friendliness, high
efficiency of resources, human potential and knowledge creation as set
out by the EU directories. A second focus for ISC'2012 is on new
robotics applications.
Thirdly this edition also looks at present day research in urban
simulation as an expansion of intelligent traffic and transport
simulation within a sustainable environment.
All submissions will be peer reviewed by at least three members of the
International Program Committee. Accepted papers will be published in
the conference Proceedings (both print and electronic format), that
will be copyrighted and widely disseminated. All talks and tutorials,
must be accompanied by a paper of between three to eight Proceedings
pages.

Ambient Intelligence and Simulation
Ambient Intelligence is an emerging research area that has received
much attention in recent years, concerned with the implications of

artificial agents can interact in such technological contexts. The
infrastructure for ambient intelligence is coming on line,
Computational resources are becoming cheaper, while ubiquitous network
access has started to appear.
Different devices equipped with simple intelligence and the abilities
to sense, communicate and act, will be unremarkable features of our
world. Therefore, one takes the view that ambient intelligence is
imminent and inevitable and it may be of great interest in simulation
scenarios.

Simulation in Electronics Manufacturing
Semiconductor Manufacturing Simulation
Recently, the electronics industry has become the largest industry in
the world. One important area of this industry is the manufacturing of
integrated circuits (IC) on silicon wafers. Semiconductor wafer
fabrication facilities (wafer fabs) are complex manufacturing systems
that contain hundreds of machines and thousands of lots. Currently, it
seems that the improvement of operational processes creates the best
opportunity to realize necessary cost reductions. Therefore, the
development of efficient planning and control strategies is highly
desirable in the semiconductor domain.
In order to create, implement and test the required novel strategies,
it is necessary to take new opportunities of information technology
into account. Modelling and Simulation are widely accepted tools in
planning and production control in wafer fabs because they are able to
deal with the huge complexity of modern wafer fabs.
The aim of the session consists in collecting papers from both
industry and academia that deal with interesting applications and new
methodologies in modelling and simulation of manufacturing systems in
the electronics industry.

Submit your abstract/paper proposal for this track here
Verification, Validation and Accreditation
The term validation is applied to those processes, which try to
determine whether or not a simulation is correct with respect to the
"reality". 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?"
Accreditation considers efforts to meet use case criteria. Here the
question to answer is "Are the model and the system acceptable for use
for a specific purpose?"
This track focuses general modelling aspects: model design methods,
model representation forms and languages, model interpretation for
verification, efforts and approaches for validation of model itself
and as a part of simulation system. Application areas may range from
archiving and communication technologies over industrial solutions to
scientific systems.
Special attention is paid to formal approaches for verification and
validation. Here, algebraic methods for the model constructing and
generating as well as semantic dependent model interpreting are
considered. In this context, XML-based model specification,
transformation, and interpretation techniques are also significant.
The track handles VV&A methodology (VV&A planning, confidence levels,
risk estimation, organisation, documentation, standards, cost
estimation, technique application, result presentation, subject matter
expert selection, fidelity, automation potential) as well as VV&A
technology (documentation, CASE-tools, cross checking, requirements
specification, knowledge based systems, configuration management, tool
overview, simulation environments).
Last but not least this track also looks at:
Security Testing
- Security testing in IT and industry
- Research of existing processes for the purpose of their analysis and
transformation
- New methods for effective dynamic and static process analysis either
during its runtime or without necessity to run the process.
- Emulation of operating systems and virtual platforms

Simulation and Training
Motivation & Objectives
Highly skilled staff is an essential prerequisite for the safe and
effective operation of industrial production systems. Simulation-based
training plays an increasingly important role in qualification of
plant personnel. In specific sectors such as aerospace or power
stations, training simulators have already been successfully employed
for many years. Latest developments in industrial information
technology as well as the introduction of virtual product and process
engineering provide a new technological basis for the cost-effective
implementation of training simulators. Therefore, in near future the
general spread of these technology in a variety of industrial sectors
and applications is expected. Today ?s best practice, latest
developments, and future concepts of simulation-based training in
industry will be presented.

Training simulator technology. Scenarios and procedures for operator
training. Modelling approaches, tools and virtual environments for

Simulation Optimization in Industry
"Simulation models are by nature evaluative ? instead of suggesting
any optimal solutions, a simulation model evaluates a given set of
design variables and generates the required performance measures. For
a decision maker, the process of finding a sufficiently good design
setting could be too time-consuming and in many cases impossible if
the search space is huge. Simulation-based optimization (SBO) is a
relatively new technique that can be applied to seek the ?optimal?
setting for a complex system model based on one or multiple
performance measures generated from simulation by using various
searching methodologies. On one hand, it has been noticed from the
recent publications that SBO has been successfully applied to address
a wide range of real-world industrial problems with very promising
results. On the other hand, it is believed that the potential benefits
offered by SBO and related tools are not yet fully explored or
understood on the part of industrial prospective users.
The aim of this workshop is to bring scientists, researchers and
industrial practitioners working in simulation from various
disciplines with interest in optimization together to share their
experiences in applying SBO technologies to a wide range of industrial
applications."
