The aim of the Asian Simulation Technology Conference 2007 (ASTEC 2007)
is to
give a state of the art overview of industrial simulation related
research and
to provide an annual status report on present day simulation research within
Asia and the rest of the world. The exchange of techniques and ideas
among the
different disciplines, universities and industry, which support the
integration
of simulation in the everyday workplace, is the basic premise at the
heart of
ASTEC-2007. Each year ASTEC will adapt its aim in response to the
demands of
research at that particular point in time and on the bequest of the
organizing
country's and university's research needs.
