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.

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)
SIMULATION AND TRAINING
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.
Topics
- Training simulator technology
- Scenarios and procedures for operator training
- Modelling approaches, tools and virtual environments for training
- e-Training in distributed environments
- HMI and cognitive performance
- Certification and standardisation issues
- Industrial applications and best practice
- Requirements on R&D

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.

Materials. Simulation of nano production processes and methods.
MULTI-AGENT SYSTEMS AND SIMULATION
Multi-agent systems (MAS) provide powerful models for representing
real-world environments with an appropriate degree of complexity and
dynamism. Several industrial experiences have already shown that the use of
MAS offers advantages in manufacturing processes, e-Commerce, and network
management. Since MAS in such contexts are to be tested before their actual
deployment and execution, methodologies that support validation through
simulation of the MAS under development are highly required. In fact,
validation through simulation can demonstrate that a MAS correctly behaves
according to its specifications. Moreover, discrete-event simulators can be
adopted to evaluate how complex MAS work on scales much larger than those
achievable in real testbeds.
The track will present latest developments, recent trends and future
scenarios and concepts.
AUGMENTED REALITY AND PERVASIVE SYSTEMS IN FACTORIES
"Pervasive systems are likely to become the next programming paradigm for
the information society. They will allow us to implement the augmented
reality and the ubiquitous computing ideas. Pervasive systems in factories
enable operators and machines to interact on a common virtual level which is
also capable of simulating the real part. Among other related topics, this
track includes: ubiquitous computing, augmented reality, mixed reality,
wireless networks, hybrid systems, simulation models, human-computer
interaction, artificial intelligence, security, scalability, fault
tolerance, smart devices, and pervasive services"
SIMULATION IN LEAN MANUFACTURING
Simulation has become a powerful tool to help manufacturers streamline their
production and output in order to more rapidly react and play to the
everchanging market place while reducing costs at every step. Presentations
are solicited that cover part or the whole of this lean production process such
As simulation in: Work Standardization, 5S Workplace Organization, Visual
Controls, Batch Size Reduction, Points of Use Storage, Quality at the

Conference
VENUE: UNIVERSITY OF PALERMO, PALERMO, ITALY (www.unipa.it)
The ISC'2006 conference is held at the University of Palermo in Palermo,
Italy. Palermo is the capital of Sicily and the fifth largest city in Italy
(660,460 inhabitants, and over a million if we include the suburbs). In the
middle of the Mediterranean sea, Palermo - the cradle of ancient
civilizations - has always been a crossroads of cultures between East and
West: a strategic transit place, a privileged port of call for commerce and
trade, a landing-place for people of various race, language, and religion.
Palermo has always enchanted visitors and foreigners alike with the charm of
its location, the mildness of its climate, and the splendour of its
buildings. And for these same reasons it has, over the centuries, been
dominated by a succession of different rulers. Palermo is one of the few
cities in the world that have preserved considerable traces of the culture
of their successive conquerors: from the Romans to the Byzantines, from the
Arabs to the Normans, from the Swabians to the French, from the Spaniards to
the Austrians, they have all left unmistakable marks of their passing; and
these are invaluable testimonies, since this convergence of different styles
and shapes, from the North of Europe to Africa, from the Middle Ages to the
Baroque period, has given birth to a variety of absolutely original
artistic, architectural, and decorative creations. Palermo is also
characterized by the fact that, despite its mixture of different cultures,
the city has maintained its identity as a capital city which at all times
has succeeded in combining the best of what other nations could offer with
its own people’s vocation for freedom
