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 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.

VENUE: BERLIN, GERMANY
Berlin is the capital and the biggest city of Germany. It has a population of about 3.5 million and extends over 889 square kilometers. It is located in central Europe, longitude 13:25 E, latitude 52:32 N, 34 m above sea level, at the rivers Spree and Havel. Berlin was the capital of Prussiauntil 1945 and the capital of Germany between 1871 and 1945 and again since the reunification of Germany on October 3, 1990. (The German parliament, called Bundestag, and the German government moved from Bonn to Berlinin 1999.) Between 1949 and 1990, it was divided into East Berlin, the capital of the German Democratic Republic, and West Berlin. It was divided by the Berlin Wall between August 13, 1961, and November 9, 1989.
The ISC'2005 conference is held at the Fraunhofer Institute in Berlin.
http://www.ipk.fhg.de/. The conference is set to coincide with the

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)

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.
WORKSHOP NANOSIM
Simulation in long-term interdisciplinary research, simulation of supramolecular
And macromolecular architectures, simulation in nanobiotechnologies, simulation of nanometric scale engineering techniques for creating materials and components, simulation of manipulator devices, simulation in nano applications
Related to chemicals and energy. Simulation of knowledge based multifunctional
Materials. Simulation of nano production processes and methods.

POSTER SESSION
The poster session only features work in progress. Next to the actual poster
presentation, these submissions also feature as short papers in the Proceedings.
STUDENTS SESSION
This session is for students who want to present their work in progress or part
of their doctoral thesis as a paper. Student papers are denoted by the fact that
only the name of the student appears on the paper as an author. They are published as short papers in the Proceedings.
DIVERSE ACTIVITIES
For demonstrations or video sessions, please contact Philippe Geril. Special
session will be set up for vendor presentations in co-ordination with the
scientific program. User Group meetings for simulation languages and tools
can be organised during the conference.
If you would like to arrange a meeting, please contact the Conference Chairs. We will be happy to provide a meeting room and other necessary equipment.
Partners for projects session(s) will be organised by EUROSIS to give potential
project teams or individuals the opportunity to present their research in
order to link up with fellow researchers for future research projects. Those
wishing to participate in this session need to send a proposal to Philippe Geril.
EXHIBITION
A special exhibition will be held during the conference focused on simulation
tools. For more information please contact EUROSIS for further details.

Conference
VENUE: BERLIN, GERMANY
Berlin is the capital and the biggest city of Germany. It has a population of about 3.5 million and extends over 889 square kilometers. It is located in central Europe, longitude 13:25 E, latitude 52:32 N, 34 m above sea level, at the rivers Spree and Havel. Berlin was the capital of Prussiauntil 1945 and the capital of Germany between 1871 and 1945 and again since the reunification of Germany on October 3, 1990. (The German parliament, called Bundestag, and the German government moved from Bonn to Berlinin 1999.) Between 1949 and 1990, it was divided into East Berlin, the capital of the German Democratic Republic, and West Berlin. It was divided by the Berlin Wall between August 13, 1961, and November 9, 1989.
The ISC'2005 conference is held at the Fraunhofer Institute in Berlin.
http://www.ipk.fhg.de/. The conference is set to coincide with the
http://www.langenachtderwissenschaften.de/ where all participants will
be able to visit on the 11th of June all research centres in Berlin, the whole
night long.
