Applied Simulation and Modelling - ASM 2011

The Nineteenth IASTED International Conference on Applied Simulation and Modelling (ASM 2011) 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 2011 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.
