Conference name: Special Session on Manufacturing Simulation and
Industrial Engineering - MSIE 2012
In conjunction with the 2nd International Conference on Simulation and
Modeling Methodologies, Technologies and Applications - SIMULTECH
2012

MSIE is a joint event between SIMULTECH and ICINCO.

Venue: Rome, Italy


Conference date: 28 - 31 July, 2012

SCOPE
Industrial engineering is a branch of engineering dealing with the
optimization of complex processes or systems, well related to business-
oriented disciplines such as Operations Management. Industrial
engineers use computer simulation (especially discrete event
simulation), along with extensive mathematical tools and modeling and
computational methods for system analysis, evaluation, and
optimization. Industrial simulation can help to identify
inefficiencies and examine how these may be addressed. With the
integration of artificial intelligence, agents and other modeling
techniques, simulation has become an effective and appropriate
decision support tool in industry. The MSIE special session focuses on
simulation applications for the factory of the future (e.g.
transformable factories, networked factories, learning factories,
digital factories) in application areas such as Automotive Industries,
Aerospace, CAD/CAM/CAE, Defense Electronics, Simulation in Industrial
Design, Industrial and Process Simulation, Supply Chain, Power Plants,
etc.
The MSIE special session invites quality papers describing original
work including research ideas, case-studies and new findings on
methodological and technological aspects related to Manufacturing
Simulation and Industrial Engineering, in particular papers describing
methods, techniques, recent advances, applications and tools.
This is the second edition of the MSIE. The first edition, MSIE 2011,
took place during SIMULTECH 2011 and attracted a large number of high-
quality speakers.
