The workshop was finished. Thank you very much.
VEAM Objectives
The IFIP Working Group 7.6, Optimization-Based Computer Modeling and Design, considers high performance, computer-aided systems to support modeling, decision analysis, optimization and multi-criteria decision making. The working group has four separate, but related, focus areas:
Application areas of particular interest include telecommunications (network design, demand forecasting, performance measurement), production planning and scheduling, environmental planning, transportation logistics (network design, planning, scheduling), and electronic commerce.
The focus of this workshop is to convene leading researchers from all over the world to present and discuss recent advances in the area of ''virtual worlds'' and modeling. The three main threads underlying this theme are distributed decision technologies, knowledge science & management, and collaborative modeling as applied to real world problems.
International Program Committee
The number of participants in the workshop will be limited to 35 in order to ensure a rich dialogue and fruitful exchange of ideas. The workshop schedule will provide ample time for presentations, discussions, and subsequent interchanges.
Therefore, the number of presentations will be limited in order to avoid parallel sessions. Typical presentations will be 30 minutes in length to include at least 5 minutes for discussion; plenary and keynote presentations may run longer.
Each participant will be required to submit an extended abstract of two pages in length.

The workshop will be held at Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology that is located in the suburbs of Kanazawa, Japan. Kanazawa is an old, beautiful city fronting the Japan Sea. It takes 1 hour from Tokyo by airplane, and 3 hours from Osaka by train.
The official hotels are the following two. Kanazawa International Hotel provides a bus to JAIST every morning and from JAIST every evening. Although the second hotel is close to the symposium site, a very limited number of rooms are available.
