Aim
The 4th annual North American Simulation Technology Conference
(NASTEC)* aims at bridging the information gap in research and
improving scientific exchanges between Europe and North-America. For
this reason EUROSIS has set up the NASTEC conference, which aims to
provide an insight into the latest hot research topics in the field of
modeling and simulation. As such every year has another main theme, in
order to address the latest developments in the field.
The intent of the NASTEC'2012 event is to nurture the spirit of
cooperation and strive to improve the quality of life in this global
village through excellence in Hybrid Soft Computing Research and
Education by Engineering of Next-Generation Intelligent Hybrid Soft
Computing Systems for Modeling, Simulation, Software Engineering and
Web Computing at the service of humankind. According to Professor
Lotfi A. Zadeh (University of California, Berkeley, USA) "It may be
argued that is Soft Computing rather than Hard-Computing that should
be viewed as the foundation of Artificial Intelligence (AI)"
NASTEC'2012 will give European and North-American researchers and
practitioners the opportunity to gather, network, present and discuss
their work, foster links, enhance existing working and friendly
relations and establish new ones. NASTEC'2012 aims to give scientists
and practitioners from academic, government and industrial
institutions the opportunity to learn about this new area of Soft
Computing and discuss the existing and potential Synergies and
Applications of Soft Computing Technologies in connection with
Modeling, Simulation, Software Engineering and Web Computing. This
will definitely promote and boost collaboration with research labs and
hi-tech industries active in the field of Soft Computing both in
Europe and North-America.
Topics covered will include, but not limited to:
 Soft computing Everywhere Theory and Practice
 Soft Computing for Simulation-based & Data-driven Software
Engineering
 Modeling, Simulation and Soft Computing Educator's Track
 Soft Computing for Bio-informatics, Systems Biology and
Medical Informatics
 Web-centric Computing
 Virtual Reality Applications
 Simulation for Educational Technology and E-learning
 Reality Mining and Surprise Modelling
 Industrial Simulation
 Ecological sustainable development and Innovative
technologies for a bio-based economy
 Poster Session
 Student Session
 Tutorials
 Exhibition
