SIMULATION IN ELECTRONICS MANUFACTURING

Semiconductor Manufacturing Simulation
Recently, the electronics industry has become the largest industry in
the world. One important area of this industry is the manufacturing of
integrated circuits (IC) on silicon wafers. Semiconductor wafer
fabrication facilities (wafer fabs) are complex manufacturing systems
that contain hundreds of machines and thousands of lots. Currently, it
seems that the improvement of operational processes creates the best
opportunity to realize necessary cost reductions. Therefore, the
development of efficient planning and control strategies is highly
desirable in the semiconductor domain.
In order to create, implement and test the required novel strategies, it
is necessary to take new opportunities of information technology into
account. Modelling and Simulation are widely accepted tools in planning
and production control in wafer fabs because they are able to deal with
the huge complexity of modern wafer fabs.
The aim of the session consists in collecting papers from both industry
and academia that deal with interesting applications and new
methodologies in modelling and simulation of manufacturing systems in
the electronics industry.

VERIFICATION, VALIDATION AND ACCREDITATION
The term validation is applied to those processes, which seek to
determine whether or not a simulation is correct with respect to the
"real" system. More prosaically, validation is concerned with the
question "Are we building the right system?". Verification, on the other
hand, seeks to answer the question "Are we building the system right?"
This track is interested in simulation validation methodologies:
methodologies to support the process of constructing a simulation model
and then aiding the validation of this model to the "real" system. These
system models can be discrete, continuous or hybrid. Application areas
range from information systems to engineering and scientific systems.
Relevant parameters include performance, properties given by formal or
informal requirements, exception handling etc. In this conference track,
contributions from all areas of simulation and validation are solicited.
Topics include, but are not limited to those given below.
VV&A methodology (effective VV&A, VV&A planning, confidence levels, risk
estimation, organisation, documentation, standards, cost estimation,
technique application, result presentation, subject matter expert (SME)
selection, formal model specification, fidelity, automation potential),
VV&A technology (documentation, CASE-tools, cross checking, requirements
specification, knowledge based systems, configuration management, tool
overview, simulation environments)

SIMULATION AND TRAINING
Highly skilled staff is an essential prerequisite for the safe and
effective operation of industrial production systems. Simulation-based
training plays an increasingly important role in qualification of plant
personnel. In specific sectors such as aerospace or power stations,
training simulators have already been successfully employed for many
years. Latest developments in industrial information technology as well
as the introduction of virtual product and process engineering provide a
new technological basis for the cost-effective implementation of
training simulators. Therefore, in near future the general spread of
these technology in a variety of industrial sectors and applications is
expected. Today ´s best practice, latest developments, and future
concepts of simulation-based training in industry will be presented.
Topics
- Training simulator technology
- Scenarios and procedures for operator training
- Modelling approaches, tools and virtual environments for training
- e-Training in distributed environments
- HMI and cognitive performance
- Certification and standardisation issues
- Industrial applications and best practice
- Requirements on R&D

WORKSHOP ON INTELLIGENT TRANSPORT SYSTEMS
A broad range of diverse technologies, known collectively as intelligent
transportation systems (ITS), holds the answer to many of our
transportation problems. ITS is comprised of a number of technologies,
including information processing, communications, control, and
electronics. Joining these technologies to our transportation system
will save lives, time and money. ITS enables people and goods to move
more safely and efficiently through a state-of-the-art, intermodal
transportation system. Simulating this aspect of transportation is one
of the major challenges of our time.

materials and components, simulation of manipulator devices, simulation

multifunctional
Materials. Simulation of nano production processes and methods.

MULTI-AGENT SYSTEMS AND SIMULATION

Multi-agent systems (MAS) provide powerful models for representing
real-world environments with an appropriate degree of complexity and
dynamism. Several industrial experiences have already shown that the use
of MAS offers advantages in manufacturing processes, e-Commerce, and
network management. Since MAS in such contexts are to be tested before
their actual deployment and execution, methodologies that support
validation through simulation of the MAS under development are highly
required. In fact, validation through simulation can demonstrate that a
MAS correctly behaves according to its specifications. Moreover,
discrete-event simulators can be adopted to evaluate how complex MAS
work on scales much larger than those achievable in real testbeds.

The track will present latest developments, recent trends and future
scenarios and concepts.

AUGMENTED REALITY AND PERVASIVE SYSTEMS IN FACTORIES

"Pervasive systems are likely to become the next programming paradigm for
the information society. They will allow us to implement the augmented
reality and the ubiquitous computing ideas. Pervasive systems in factories
enable operators and machines to interact on a common virtual level
which is
also capable of simulating the real part. Among other related topics, this
track includes: ubiquitous computing, augmented reality, mixed reality,
wireless networks, hybrid systems, simulation models, human-computer
interaction, artificial intelligence, security, scalability, fault
tolerance, smart devices, and pervasive services"

SIMULATION IN LEAN MANUFACTURING

Simulation has become a powerful tool to help manufacturers streamline
their production and output in order to more rapidly react and play to
the everchanging market place while reducing costs at every step.
Presentations are solicited that cover part or the whole of this lean
production process such
As simulation in: Work Standardization, 5S Workplace Organization,

Conference

VENUE: UNIVERSITY OF PALERMO, PALERMO, ITALY (www.unipa.it)

The ISC'2006 conference is held at the University of Palermo in Palermo,
Italy. Palermo is the capital of Sicily and the fifth largest city in
Italy (660,460 inhabitants, and over a million if we include the
suburbs). In the middle of the Mediterranean sea, Palermo - the cradle
of ancient civilizations - has always been a crossroads of cultures
between East and West: a strategic transit place, a privileged port of
call for commerce and trade, a landing-place for people of various race,
language, and religion. Palermo has always enchanted visitors and
foreigners alike with the charm of its location, the mildness of its
climate, and the splendour of its buildings. And for these same reasons
it has, over the centuries, been dominated by a succession of different
rulers. Palermo is one of the few cities in the world that have
preserved considerable traces of the culture of their successive
conquerors: from the Romans to the Byzantines, from the Arabs to the
Normans, from the Swabians to the French, from the Spaniards to the
Austrians, they have all left unmistakable marks of their passing; and
these are invaluable testimonies, since this convergence of different
styles and shapes, from the North of Europe to Africa, from the Middle
Ages to the Baroque period, has given birth to a variety of absolutely
original artistic, architectural, and decorative creations. Palermo is
also characterized by the fact that, despite its mixture of different
cultures, the city has maintained its identity as a capital city which
at all times has succeeded in combining the best of what other nations
could offer with its own people’s vocation for freedom
