Aim of ISC’2018
The aim of the 16th annual Industrial Simulation Conference (ISC’2018, the premier 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’2018 conference. This year’s ISC conference, has a different structure in comparison to past events, merging with ECEC and FUBUTEC to create a more homogeneous event.
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 and SCOPUS. Selected papers are published in several journals usch as the International Journal of Computer Aided Engineering and Technology.
The full revamped conference website is coming online in the coming days

T3- Software and Modelware Tutorials
Tutorial proposals should be emailed to Philippe.Geril@eurosis.org before JANUARY 15TH, 2018.
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 EUROSIS.
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 the day before 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 EUROSIS.
EXHIBITION
A special exhibition is evisaged to be held during the conference focused on
industrial applications. For more information please contact EUROSIS for
further details. Email: Philippe.Geril@eurosis.org
