AIM OF ASTEC'2014
The aim of the 4th annual Asian Simulation Technology Conference 2013 (ASTEC 2014) is to give a state of the art overview of industrial simulation related research and to provide an annual status report on present day simulation research within Asia and the rest of the world. The exchange of techniques and ideas among the different disciplines, universities and industry, which support the integration of simulation in the everyday workplace, is the basic premise at the heart of ASTEC-2014. Each year ASTEC will adapt its aim in response to the demands of research at that particular point in time and on the bequest of the organizing country's and university's research needs. One of these needs is securing China's coast again natural disasters.
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.
