Japanese Modelica Conference 2016

NEW!

The conference proceedings are now available for download here.

The First Japanese Modelica Conference will be held at the Embassy of Sweden, Tokyo, Japan on May 23-24, 2016. It is organized by Modelon in cooperation with Modelica Association.

The Modelica Conference is the main event for users, library developers, tool vendors and researchers to share their knowledge and learn about the latest scientific and industrial progress related to Modelica and to the Functional Mockup Interface (FMI). Following 11 International Modelica Conference over the last 15 years, the first Japanese Modelica Conference will be held in Tokyo. The program will cover modeling of complex physical and cyber-physical systems, as well as tools, for a wide range of research and industrial applications. All contributions are peer-reviewed and selected by the Program Committee. 

The conference will be supported by direct translation between Japanese and English so oral presentations can be given in and listened to in either language. The conference flyer is available in English and Japanese.

We are looking forward to seeing you in Tokyo.

Dr. Johan Andreasson and Dr. Yutaka Hirano

General Chairman (Modelon) and Program Chairman (Toyota Motor Corporation)

Scope of the Conference

Modelica is a freely available, equation-based, object-oriented language for convenient and efficient modeling of complex, multi-domain cyber-physical systems described by ordinary differential, difference and algebraic equations. The companion Modelica Standard Library has been utilized in demanding industrial applications, including full vehicle dynamics, power systems, robotics, hardware-in-the-loop simulations and embedded control systems.

The Functional Mockup Interface (FMI) is a freely available standard for the tool-independent exchange of models and for co-simulation. It is supported by many Modelica and non-Modelica tools and is the key to utilize Modelica models in non-Modelica environments.

The Modelica conference will bring together people using Modelica and/or FMI for modeling, simulation, and control applications, Modelica language designers, Modelica and/or FMI tool vendors and Modelica library developers. It provides Modelica users the opportunity to stay informed about the latest language, library, and tool developments, and to get in touch with people working on similar modeling problems. Expected topics include but are not limited to:

• Multi-engineering modeling using existing and new Modelica libraries
• Industry applications of Modelica and FMI
• Offline, real-time, multi-core and Hardware-in-the-loop simulations and code generation
• Applications of Modelica beyond dynamic simulation, e.g. for optimization, optimal control and steady-state 
• Modelica modeling, simulation and design tools
• Symbolic algorithms and numerical methods for model transformation and simulation
• New features of the Modelica language and FMI
• Modelica in other application areas (mathematical programming, databases etc.)
• Modelica for teaching and education 
• FMI in Modelica and non-Modelica applications and tools

In addition, the conference will include a Modelica tutorial and a vendor exhibition.
