SIMSIS-11

SCOPE SIMSIS-11 attempts to enable a useful exchange of information among researchers, scientists, engineers and practitioners in automatic control. The approached field of interest covers both theoretical viewpoints and experimental achievements in all areas of modeling, identification and control.  The long and well-established tradition of the Symposium makes us believe that the scientific debates between Industrial and University Researchers will generate new fruitful ideas, while tightening the cooperation links among the participants.    [Top of page]

TOPICS includes, but are not limited at:  modeling and simulation discrete events processes qualitative modeling and semiotics estimation and identification adaptive and optimal control robust and predictive control modeling and control of biotechnological processes pattern-recognition neural networks fuzzy logic control intelligent hybrid systems knowledge-based systems knowledge acquisition and data mining agent based modeling and multi-agent systems intelligent learning environments intelligent data bases man-machine interfaces diagnosis and reliability industrial control applications

A complete map of Galati City is available. Location of the interest points during the symposium can be viewed on the symposium map.

There are two possibilities of accomodation during the symposium:
                   - University Hotel - single room: 150 000 ROL
                                                  - double room: 200 000 ROL
                   - "Dunarea" Hotel - * rooms - single: 340 000 ROL
                                                                    - double: 590 000 ROL
                                                    - ** rooms - single: 650 000 ROL
                                                                      - double: 610 000 ROL
 

Location Placed in the Est of Romania, on the border with Ukraine, Galati is the fifth greatest city of our country. The inhabitants (about 400,000) are mostly Romanian, Orthodox Christian. The climate is continental, with hot dry summers (32 to 38 °C) and windy winters (-10 to 5 °C). Temperature in the middle of October is 10 to 20 °C.

Economy Located on the left bank of the Danube river, at 150 km from the Black Sea, Galati has fastly become an important commercial centre, the biggest Romanian inland harbor for sea - going ships. The long tradition of shipbuilding – over 100 years - has been recently reconsidered by involving the Dutch company Damen as the main shareholder of Galati Shipyard, the oldest in Romania. The complex Sidex S.A. – which has been recently become private – makes of Galati the biggest Romanian center for steel processing industry, occupying the first place in the national iron smelting production.

Cultural life Since over 50 years, Galati is one of the main academic sites of Romania, offering, among others, unique training in naval engineering and food technology. There are 13 faculties within "Dunarea de Jos" University, from which 3 are located in Republic of Moldavia.  Some museums, theatres and other cultural sites sustain the cultural life of the city.  “Fani Tardini” Dramatic Theatre host every autumn the National Festival of Comedy - “Festingal”. Admirers of musical and operetta can enjoy the shows of the Musical Theatre “Nae Leonard”.  There are three important museums in Galati. A valuable ethnographical collection from the county of Galati can be admired at the Museum of History, as well as important traces from ancient times and Middle Age. The Museum of Romanian Contemporary Art, set up in 1956, host a collection of about 3500 paintings, sculptures and works of decorative art. By visiting the Museum of Natural Sciences, one can find out more about the autochthonous flora and fauna.

Spare time and entertainment There are three ** hotels - "Dunarea", "Galati" and "Sofin" - and one ***hotel - "Faleza" - which offer good conditions of accomodation in Galati. One who wants to enjoy the silence can take a walk in the Public Garden or along the Danube riverbank. This latter place offers a sculpture exhibition in the open.  There are also many restaurants, cafés and disco bars offering tasty traditional and European food, fine drinks and good music.
