Aim of ISC’2023

The aim of the 21st annual Industrial Simulation Conference (ISC’2023), the premier annual industrial simulation conference in

Europe, is to give a complete overview of this year’s industrial simulation related research and to provide an annual status

report on present day industrial simulation research within the European Community and the rest of the world in line with

European industrial research projects.

With the integration of artificial intelligence, agents and other modelling techniques, simulation has become an effective

and appropriate decision support tool in industry. 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’2023 conference.

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.

EUROSIS proceedings are indexed by ISI, IET, SCOPUS and the Royal Belgian Library.
