The European Conference on Modelling and Simulation (ECMS) is the international conference dedicated to help define the state of the art in the field. For several years, ECMS has proven to be an outstanding forum for researchers and practitioners from different fields involved in creating, defining and building innovative simulation systems, simulation and modelling tools and techniques, and novel applications for modelling and simulation.

The local organizers and ECMS are very happy to announce an exciting programme that includes guided tours of the world’s most advanced offshore simulator and world-renowned invited keynote speakers, thanks to financial support from local companies such as Rolls-Royce Marine, Offshore Simulator Centre, and Farstad shipping.

Keynote speakers include:

• Stephen Grossberg, the Wang Professor of Cognitive and Neural Systems and Professor of Mathematics, Psychology, and Biomedical Engineering, Boston University, Boston, USA
• May-Britt Moser, Professor and Founding Director at the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience and Centre for the Biology of Memory, NTNU, Trondheim, Norway
• Peter D. Neilson, Associate Professor, Senior Visiting Fellow, and Founding Director of the Neuroengineering Laboratory, School of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications, UNSW, Sydney, Australia
• Megan D. Neilson, Lecturer, Researcher, and Founding Director of the Neuroengineering Laboratory, School of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications, UNSW, Sydney, Australia
• Sigal Berman, Lecturer, Researcher and Head of the Intelligent Systems M.Sc.
