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
