 Methodology of Simulation Technique • New Simulation Methods and Systems • Visualisation • Optimisation and Design of Experiments<br>
<br>
The ASIM Dedicated Conference is well balanced between research, development and industrial use. Scientific innovation and successful application in every day's business are discussed similarly. Participants without simulation experience gain new insights into
 the possibilities and constraints of simulation. Experienced simulation users find a forum for knowledge exchange at the ASIM Dedicated Conference and are presented with innovations.<br>
