The ESM'2001 is the international conference concerned with state
of the art technology in modelling and simulation. For several
years, ESM has proven to be an outstanding forum for researchers
involved in building innovative simulation systems, simulation and
modelling tools and applications on both the research and
industrial front. The SCS European Simulation Multiconference
features an outstanding technical program ranging from introductory
tutorials to software reviews to state-of-the-art research and
practice. The conference includes exhibits, business meetings for
professional societies, software user groups, and a social program.
All submissions will be peer reviewed by three members of the
International Program Committee. Accepted papers will be published
in the conference Proceedings (both print and electronic format),
that will be copyrighted and widely disseminated. All talks and
tutorials must be accompanied by a paper of between three to eight
Proceedings pages.

Within the section NEURAL NETS & SIMULATION, DATA-MINING,
a special session will be organized on:

- the backgrounds and practical use of GMDH (Group Method of Data Handling) 
and GMDH-type networks:
- background and general theory of GMDH-type neural networks,
- heuristics-free GMDH methods,
- error control strategies in GMDH net learning processes,
- application of GMDH methods;
- Techniques used in data-mining: statistical approaches,
- neural nets & data mining,
- genetic algorithms in data mining,
- non-standard (other) approaches to data mining.

In this section you meet leading scientists in GMDH theory.
