Other activities in relation to the project

During part of October and during November and December of 2003 I was a Visiting Professor of Computer Science (prof. dr inz. Wydzial Informatyka) at Bialystok Technical University (Politechnika Bialostocka) in the division of Application Systems (Zaklad Systemow Aplikacyjnch) in northeast POLAND. During my visit I taught a 5^th year computer science class in Optimization applied to Continuous Systems Simulation and also supervised a research group doing discrete systems simulation of local government agencies.

I was an “expert” (their terminology) consultant for (ESTEC) the European Space Agency Technical Center at Noordwijk, the Netherlands where I gave industrial seminars and worked on the (ATV) automated transport Vehicle during the fall of 2003.

Three seminars were given at ESTEC and I worked on the ATV mathematical model.

The duration of my stay at ESTEC was from September 2003 to October 2003.

The first seminar was on applied non-linear programming (sequential multi-parameter sequential optimization methods

The second seminar was on a comparison of procedural and declarative programming languages using the Python and Prolog languages

The third seminar was on Continuous Systems Simulation Languages

using the ESL (European Space Agency Simulation Language) and the

ACSLXtreme languages. Examples were shown in both languages.

My work on the ATV consisted of a complete analysis of the Mathematical

Model for cargo accommodation (CAST). The approach used to solve the model was one of a few suitable for this type of optimization problem.

A mixed integer programming (MIP) package from IBM was used that was appropriate for the problem to be solved. The program was run in stages with a manual iteration between each partial run.

At the July 2003 Summer Computer Simulation Conference in Montreal, CANADA I was the Group Co-Chairman for the Simulation Methodologies and Tools Group and I chaired two technical sections.

At the 2002 Summer Computer Simulation Conference held in San Diego, California,

I was the group chair for the Modeling and Simulation track. There were 40 papers in my track that I obtained reviewers for, and I coordinated the papers into sessions and obtained the session chairs.

In November of 2002, I was the co-chairman of the international program committee for the 5^th International Asian Conference on System Simulation and Scientific Computing (Shanghai, PRC).

I gave an invited tutorial for conference members and senior students from Shanghai Technical University on “Simulation Languages and Applications”, and I was the chair of two technical sessions at the conference.

The conference organizers also presented me with a bronze and velvet plaque recognizing me as an “International Simulationist of Note” (rough translation from the Chinese).

At the 2001 European Simulation Multiconference held in Prague, the Czech

Republic in June of 2001, I was the chair for three technical sessions,

(“Simulation of Processes I”, “Simulation of processes II”, and “Traffic

Simulation II”) each session contained four papers.

At the 2000 Summer Computer Simulation Conference in Vancouver B.C.,

CANADA I was the Group Chairman for the “Simulation Methodologies Group”

and organized eleven sessions of four papers each and I obtained the session chairs

for all of these sessions.

In the fall of 1999 I was a visiting professor and was also appointed as an

Adjunct Professor of Computer Science at the

INSA de ROUEN (Institut National de Science Appliquee)

Laboratoire PSI (Perception, Systeme et Information)

Mont Saint Aignan cedex F-76131

FRANCE

I was reappointed as an adjunct professor at INSA-ROUEN in 2002.

In November 1999 I was a member of a Ph.D. examination committee in the Computer Science department at the State University of Ghent, BELGIUM. The

Ph.D. candidate did an excellent job on his thesis and was passed with

highest distinction.

From September 1998 to January 1999 , I was a Professeur Invite' at the

Universite' de Technologie de Troyes, FRANCE. I did research in the

Industrial Engineering Department and developed and taught a regular course

in Industrial Logistics.

This is a new topic that I teach now.

The research that I did there resulted in an accepted paper to be given at

the European Simulation MultiConference held in Warsaw POLAND in

June 1999. Our paper was published in the proceedings of the Conference.

In December of 1998 I was an invited speaker for the seminar series of the

Department of Computer Engineering at the University of Hamburg, GERMANY.

I gave an overview lecture on High Level Computer Simulation Languages.
