SILENI is an initiative devoted to promote M&S applied to real problems with special attention to Defense and Industry; SILENI promotes Seminars, Courses and Lectures on application of M&S.
The name SILENI (SImulation LEarning iNItiative) is inspired by Greek mythology where Sileni (companions of Dionysus) were said to possess special knowledge and power of prophecy such as Modeling & Simulation.
