Phenomenal advances in computer technology together with progress in the
areas of mathematical modelling in recent decades have made simulation
procedures very powerful tools for the analysis and design of almost all types
of industrial and economic processes. Accurate and reliable predictions about
the outcome of complex natural transport processes and performance of
novel designs for industrial equipments are routinely made using modern
simulation methodologies. Annually held international Industrial Simulation
Conferences (ISC), organised and run by the EUROSIS in conjunction with
various organisations, provides an important forum for the presentation and
exchange of new ideas related to the development and application of
computer simulation techniques in a very diverse and wide ranging area of
industrial relevance
