The conference brought together researchers, engineers and practitionersinterested in methodologies and applications of modeling and simulation. Newand innovative solutions are reported in this book. SIMULTECH 2014 received 167submissions, from 45 countries, in all continents. After a double blind paperreview performed by the Program Committee, 23% were accepted as full papers andthus selected for oral presentation.
