A Workshop to Develop a Near-Term Software Roadmap for X-ray, Neutron, and Electron Scattering Science

DMR？Fultz，布伦特T.加州理工学院的这一奖项来自数学和物理科学的化学部和材料研究部以及网络基础设施办公室。资金支持是否合理？2010年计算散射科学研讨会？并将于7月6日至9日在阿贡国家实验室举行。该研讨会旨在确定并重新评估将散射科学和计算科学领域联系起来的机会。目标是制定一个路线图，显示现代计算如何推动散射科学，为科学发现提供新的机会，并确定机会。该研讨会还将开发想法，以组织未来的软件开发，管理维护，升级和用户支持在国家？的中子和X射线设施。讲习班的成果将是一份报告，其中将严格评估长处、弱点和成本效益，并提出可能的前进道路。研讨会还将确定计算散射科学在教育中的作用，并在提高公众对美国散射研究的认识。最后，研讨会将有助于形成一个计算散射科学社区的核心，这样的社区是优化这一领域的未来努力所需要的。

DMR ? 1041426Fultz, Brent T. This award to Californaia Institute of Technology is from the Chemistry Division and the Division of Materials Research in The Mathematical and Physical Sciences and the Office of Cyberinfrastructure. The funds support entitled ?Workshop on Computational Scattering Science 2010? and will be held on July 6-9 at Argonne National Laboratory. The Workshop is to identify, and to reassess opportunities to connect the fields of scattering science and computational science. The goal is to develop a roadmap showing how modern computing can advance scattering science, to offer new opportunities for scientific discovery, and to identify opportunities. The workshop will also develop ideas to organize future software development, manage maintenance, upgrades, and user support at the Nation?s neutron and x-ray facilities. The outcome of the workshop will be a report that will critically assess strengths, weaknesses, and cost-effectiveness and present possible paths forward. The workshop will also identify the role of computational scattering science in education, and in promoting public awareness of scattering research in the U.S. Lowering the barrier for entry into scattering research will also be discussed. Finally, the workshop will help in the formation of a nucleus of a community for computational scattering science, and such a community is needed for optimizing the future effort in this field.
