are pleased to welcome you to the 4th annual Symposium
on <b>Simulation for Architecture and Urban Design
(SimAUD)</b>. This venue provides a fantastic
opportunity for bringing together the brightest
researchers and designers in the fields of architecture,
building science, design, computer-aided design and
simulation, and urban design. With the advent of
high-performance computers and advanced design and
simulation tools, we're have the tools to predict how
buildings and whole neighborhoods will perform long
before they're built. SimAUD contributes to the growing
knowledge pool that will allow society to reduce the
environmental and economic impact of the built
environment, through simulation and modeling.</big><o:p></o:p></span></big></p>
