 Modeling, Simulation and Soft Computing Educator's Track
 Soft Computing for Bio-informatics, Systems Biology and Medical Informatics
 Web-centric Computing
 Virtual Reality Applications and Graphics
 Simulation for Educational Technology and E-learning
 Reality Mining and Surprise Modelling
 Industrial Simulation
 Ecological sustainable development and Innovative technologies for a bio-based economy
 ___________________________________ (your proposal)*
 Poster Session
 Student Session
 Tutorials
 Exhibition
