From June 18–20, ASIASIM President Professor Zhang Lin and Secretary-General Professor Weng Jingnong led a delegation to Singapore, joined by Deputy Secretary-Generals Yang Xiaohui and Song Xiao, and Secretariat staff. The delegation visited World Scientific Publishing, National University of Singapore (NUS), Nanyang Technological University (NTU), reaching multiple consensus on co-building scientific and technological journals, expert exchanges and Industry-Academia-Research cooperation.
At World Scientific Pressing, discussions with Director Ms. Jaya focused on co-developing simulation journals and publishing international monographs. The two sides explored discussed the status quo of ASIASIM’s journal IJMSSC, as well as the major measures such as fostering author diversity and accelerating editorial talent development in order to improve the global reputation of IJMSSC. In particular, they discussed a new series on “Frontiers in Digital Twin Technology.”
The delegation then visited NUS and NTU. At NUS, the delegation met with Singapore Simulation Society President Professor Gary Tan. Topics included digital twin dynamic modeling for smart manufacturing, complex industrial software cross-platform interoperability, and privacy computing in data sharing. Meanwhile, the exchange mechanism for faculty was refined, as an agreement was reached to launch the “Singapore-China Simulation Scholar Exchange Program” in Fall 2025, with five Singaporean professors visiting Beihang University. The two parties also advanced plans for a summer program and GloSim sub-forum topic design. After the meeting, Prof. Gary Tan led the delegation to visit simulation lab in NUS.
In addition, the delegation called on ASIASIM members D-Simlab Technologies and Beyond Soft Singapore, where they visited industrial software R&D center, intelligent factory simulation system, as well as real-time 5G-based simulation platforms. D-Simlab Technologies CEO Gan Boon Ping, CFO Dr. Nirupam Julka and Beyong Soft VP Wang Xing received the delegation, then both sides agreed on industry-academia cooperation, GloSim 2025 participation, and the potential establishment of an ASIASIM liaison office in Singapore.
