Systems Modeling and Simulation : Theory and Applications, Asian Simulation Conference 2006

Aimed at exploring challenges in methodologies for modeling, control and computation in simu­ lation, and their applications in social, economic, and financial fields as well as established scientific and engineering solutions. The conference was held in Tokyo from October 30 to November 1, 2006, and included keynote speeches presented by technology and industry leaders, technical sessions, organized sessions, poster sessions, and vendor exhibits. It was the seventh annual inter­ national conference on system simulation and scientific computing, which is organized by the Japan Society for Simulation Technology (JSST), the Chi­ nese Association for System Simulation (CASS), and the Korea Society for Simulation (KSS). For the conference, all submitted papers were refereed by the international technical program committee, each paper receiving at least two independent reviews.
