- They are
linked to Education (INSA education departments and projects) and Research (PSI
Laboratory: its curricula and projects).
Simulation
courses take place in two departments (Mathematics and Mechanics)
Simulation
research is active at PSI. Two other labs are concerned (Mechanics, Process Engineering). Two colleagues currently
represent them in MISS.
- An effort
is still made for the promotion of simulation in French speaking communities.
The conference MOSIM (MODeling and SIMulation) initially created at the PSI
Lab. Will take place at Toulouse (http://www.laas.fr/mosim03).
Cooperation
with MISS at Chico: Dr R.C. Huntsinger was invited to participate to MISS at
Rouen (two months). He gave simulation presentations to graduate and
under-graduate students and a full course to undergraduate students involved in
50% curricula of scientific English courses (IBIS Program).
Standards
(PC computers, scanners, fax…) and vision material.
ModsimIII,
Pasion, Simscript, TaylorII... and several prototypes locally developed (Petri
nets, management of a harbor container terminal, optimization...).
The Center
intends to develop its main resources through projects in Logistics,
Transportation and Education. The main area concerns Discrete Event Simulation
and Artificial Intelligence approach. Applications are essentially in Logistics
(harbor container terminal management) and Education (firemen officers). This
research activity is also gradually combining Vision and simulation for
Intelligent Transportation Systems. Virtual reality is still an emerging area.
Discussions
on common projects and courses are a work in progress with a multidisciplinary
Management Committee:

Dr Abdelkhalak ELHAMI (mechanics)
Pr,
Dr Lionel ESTEL (Process Engineering)
Pr,
Dr Aziz BENSRHAIR (Vision)
Four thesis
are currently in work on Multi-Agent Systems and Simulation.
Other
studies:
- A
continued work on the dial a ride algorithm for a TSP variation.
- Traffic
security.
- User
interaction with a simulator: the Agent aspect
-
Simulation of a stock market
- Continuous
reengineering work of a Harbor container terminal simulator.
- A
simulation system for the education of firemen officers (founded by Ministry of
Industry)
This system
is under development. Its heart is a multi-agent platform developed in our
Laboratory.
-
An intelligent assistant to help with decision-making through simulation
(founded by Region of
Haute-Normandy).
- Links
with a university in Morocco through projects mostly concerning Education.
