DEEPEN partners announce three day CECAM Workshop 'Multiscale Simulation: from Materials through to Industrial Usage'.

Posted on: 14 Jan 2016

The workshop is aimed for MMM and ICME researchers for the opportunity to exchange approaches, and move towards some standards and present progress to the communities of both academic and industrial researchers. 

The purpose of the workshop will be to discuss progress in addressing challenges in multiscale simulation, outline coupling and linking between “bottom-up” and “top-down” communities, build critical mass/consensus towards development of best practice and standardisation and discuss European leadership in this important area of multiscale simulations from first principles through to industrial applications.

Further details can be found on CECAM workshop website.

Specific topics to be addressed include how to:

  1. Support best practices: sharing what works among those involved in this type of work.
  2. Reduce redundancy: what tools and frameworks are available and how reuse can be done most effectively.
  3. Develop standards: discussion of where standardization is needed will greatly increase efficiency of the platform tools being developed, and their interoperability.
  4. Integrate databases: avoid redoing calculations, increase standardization and data compatibility, provide opportunities for data mining. 
  5. Roadmap key needs: seek community agreement about what tools are most critical to develop, routes to interoperability and to platform sharing, and how to move forward most efficiently - may require a cooperative effort across different communities to be realized.
  6. Build expertise: sessions devoted to hands-on overview, training and comparison of different platforms and linkage approaches.


To achieve these goals, this three-day workshop is structured so that: 
 

  • Day 1   sets the scene regarding the current status and vision for multiscale simulation, including the perspective of the multiscale materials modelling and the Integrated Computational Material Engineering communities, with keynote talks from recognised research leaders, and a panel discussion on interoperability to conclude the day and set the stage for the two following days
  • Day 2   shares current practice, with a hands-on poster and demo session for the morning (PlugFest), including training and comparison of different platforms and linkage approaches being undertaken; followed in the afternoon by presentations and discussions from a cluster of EU-funded multiscale simulation projects regarding current developments and challenges for interoperability
  • Day 3   addresses next steps and challenges, with a series of overview presentations on Roadmaps, future plans and directions for integration being used to set the scene for chaired open discussions to identify and agree critical next steps for the widespread uptake of Multiscale Simulation going from Materials Modelling through to Industrial Usage.
