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)

A broad range of diverse technologies, known collectively as intelligent transportation systems (ITS), holds the answer to many of our

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.
