Track Aim
Modeling and Simulation is starting to become ubiquitous in Business and Industry. Emerging technologies and innovative methodologies jointly with M&S are representing technological enablers for Business and Industry that are applied to real world problem analyses and decision support. The workforce is more and more supported by M&S applications for education and training, but also in support of routine task. The Business Application Tracks focuses in innovation both in term of application areas as well as in architecture solutions for real case studies.
