OBJECTIVES

Research and development activity is considered as an essential component of higher education, due to its role in creating new knowledge, insight and dynamism in the teaching-learning process. The conference has the focus on the frontier themes of Simulation modelling and analysis. Simulation modelling is a technology that has contributed to the design and analysis of many manufacturing systems broadly classified as manufacturing system design and manufacturing system operations. By creating a model of the proposed system, engineers are able to predict the performance of the resources / equipment, minimizing over design and thus reducing cost. The conference is aimed at getting a better understanding of the process of building a simulation model.

The conference includes keynote addresses, technical papers from academic and industry and poster sessions. This International conference on Simulation Modelling and Analysis will provide a platform for researchers to discuss the more recent contributions in the field of Simulation Modelling and Analysis. A feature of COSMA’09 is the state-of-the art exhibition of Simulation Technology in Manufacturing Systems. The exhibit includes contribution from the suppliers of simulation packages.
