摘要：本报告评估了基于仿真的工程与科学（SBES）领域以及下一代硬件和算法、软件开发、工程仿真、验证、确认和不确定性量化、多尺度建模与仿真以及SBES教育等交叉问题的国际研发情况。该专家组举办了一次美国基线研讨会，进行了文献计量分析，咨询了众多专家和报告，并走访了东亚和西欧的59家机构和公司，以探究这些机构中正在进行的研究项目、项目所使用的计算基础设施、使研究得以进行的资助方案、大学、国家实验室和企业研究中心之间的协作互动以及SBES的劳动力需求和发展情况。专家组发现，国外的SBES活动很强劲，与美国竞争或领先于美国。对下一代计算科学家和工程师的教育和培训不足威胁到SBES的发展。SBES总体上持续的资金不足模式威胁到美国的领先地位和持续必要的进步，而国外对SBES的战略投资激增反映出这些国家认识到仿真在提升国家竞争力方面的作用以及其作为经济刺激机制的有效性。研究的三个主题领域以及支持SBES的交叉领域和技术的关键发现以特定方式强化了这些总体发现。
Abstract : This report assesses international research and development in the field of Simulation-Based Engineering and Science (SBES and in the crosscutting issues of next generation hardware and algorithms; software development; engineering simulations; validation, verification, and uncertainty quantification; multiscale modeling and simulation; and SBE&S education. The panel hosted a U.S. baseline workshop, conducted a bibliometric analysis, consulted numerous experts and reports, and visited 59 institutions and companies throughout East Asia and Western Europe to explore the active research projects in those institutions, the computational infrastructure used for the projects, the funding schemes that enable the research, the collaborative interactions among universities, national laboratories, and corporate research centers, and workforce needs and development for SBE&S. The panel found that SBE&S activities abroad are strong, and compete with or lead the United States. Inadequate education and training of the next generation of computational scientists and engineers threatens growth of SBE&S. A persistent pattern of subcritical funding overall for SBE&S threatens U.S. leadership and continued needed advances, while a surge of strategic investments in SBE&S abroad reflects recognition by those countries of the role of simulation in advancing national competitiveness and its effectiveness as a mechanism for economic stimulus. Key findings in the three thematic domain areas of the study and in the crosscutting areas and technologies that support SBE&S reinforce these overarching findings in specific ways.
