Laboratories

MSC-LES is a research laboratory (part of the LIME Lab) at Department of Mechanical, Energy and Management Engineering of University of Calabria, Italy. The main goal of MSC-LES is the development of innovative ways to use Modeling & Simulation (M&S) to achieve new scientific advances in different application areas.
The MSC-LES research activities concentrate on Industry (with specific applications for Smart Manufacturing and Industry 4.0), Logistics (logistics nodes design and supply chain management) and Defense (human behavior modeling and multi-coalition systems). Advanced simulation models based on different Simulation paradigms, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, Intelligent Agents and Knowledge Navigators are developed both for decision-making and for training and education in complex systems.
The MSC-LES research team work with many national and international partners and it is fully involved in different research projects; it supports the organization of the major International Conferences in the area of Modeling & Simulation (e.g. EMSS, HMS, MAS, IWISH, etc.) and, every year, promotes different International Journals Special Issues for diffusing the latest research advances in the Simulation area.
The MSC-LES is member organization of the most important M&S networks worldwide including Simulation Team (a pool of HiTech world-wide institutions active in M&S), MS&Net (the McLeod Modeling & Simulation Network) a consortium of co-operating independent organizations active in professionalism, research, education, and knowledge dissemination in the modeling and simulation (M&S) domain and Liophant Simulation, a non-profit association born in order to be a trait-d’union among simulation developers and users.

The scientific and research activities of MSC-LES at University of Calabria aim at successfully expand on and bring unique innovations in Industry, Logistics and Defense including industrial plants and productionsystems design and management, logistics nodes and supply chain management, human behavior modeling and multi-cohalition systems. 
MSC-LES works with a number of industries, universities, research institutions, governments, all over the world.
Different Modeling & Simulation paradigms and architectures are used as advanced  problem solving methodologies, for developing decision support tools and for training and education in complex systems.
