The next frontier in aerospace/automotive application of HPC

 Mannheim 13 Apr 00 RCI organises a special event on June 7, 2000 called "Integrated Science/Engineering modeling: The next frontier in aerospace/automotive application of high-end computing" in conjunction with the Mannheim Supercomputer 2000 Seminar. The programme is now available with key speakers from automotive and aerospace companies in Europe and the USA.

The technological and engineering landscape is evolving rapidly. Performance and operational requirements are continuously pushed to the limits. Safety and environment considerations are ever more conditioning the engineering design process. Domains, such as quantum mechanics, once considered classical scientific territories, are more and more at the root of new technologies. Researchers and engineers have to understand, predict, and control systems of increasing complexity characterized by a large set of interacting, interdisciplinary phenomena spanning a wide-range of space and time scales.

From the macro to the atomic world, integrated science and engineering models and representations are becoming a strategic "need" for the R&D and design world. Modeling and simulation can become the real expression (full system, predictive, science-based models) and drivers of this process. These issues will be covered as topics and will support the theme of the conference.

Suggested topics will include:

  • The Innovation Bottleneck in HPC Applications
  • Research Strategies in a Teraflop Environment
  • Virtual Product Development
  • Design Optimization
  • Physics based Engineering simulations: potential pay-off and technical challenges
  • Dependable Computing in a Distributed Environment
  • Physical Experiments / testing as an adjunct to computer simulation or vice-versa?

Experts already agreed to present at this event:

  • GENERAL MOTORS (Dr. David Chang, Director of Technology Integration)
  • BOEING (Mr. Michael Mott, SeniorTechnical Fellow)
  • BAE Systems (Mr. Terry Knibb, Director, Soerby Research Centre)
  • ACCORD SOLUTIONS (USA, Dr. Carl Murphy, CEO and Chief Technologist)
  • NASA, FERRARI (Racing and Super-cars)
  • DLR, Mr. Norbert Kroll.
The latter two are to be confirmed. More information on the programme in due time.

This event is sponsored by HP. SGI, NEC-ESS, Compaq, QSW and Fujitsu.
