ASM 2012 - Tenth IASTED International Conference on Applied Simulation and Modelling ~ASM 2012~

The Tenth IASTED International Conference on Applied Simulation and Modelling (ASM 2012) will provide an international forum for researchers and practitioners to exchange new ideas and practical experience in the areas of simulation and modelling. It is an opportunity to present and observe the latest research, results, and ideas in these areas. ASM 2012 aims to strengthen relations between industry practitioners, research laboratories, and universities. All papers submitted to this conference will be peer evaluated by at least two reviewers. Acceptance will be based primarily on originality and contribution.
