The First World Congress on Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME)to be held July 10 - 14, 2011 in Seven Springs, PA

集成计算材料工程（ICME）是一项新兴的活动，涉及到计算建模与制造过程的集成。它有望改善质量控制和经济效益。第一届ICME世界大会将在七泉山度假村举行。这个网站和节目安排有利于促进讨论和互动。将有7位国际知名的主题演讲者，并将根据提交的摘要选择额外的口头报告和海报部分的报告。强烈鼓励学生积极参与，特别是在海报环节。代表14个国家的国际咨询委员会正在世界范围内宣传会议，各相关国际材料学会（包括巴西、加拿大、澳大利亚和日本）正在本国宣传会议。特别鼓励学生，博士后研究员和年轻教师的参与，以培养未来几代ICME劳动力。NSF资金将用于支持20名学生、5名博士后研究员、5名青年教师、5名主题演讲者的注册费，并用于部分支持会议记录。组委会希望通过联系已知在计算材料科学和工程方面有很强项目的大学院系和/或实验室来邀请候选人。将尽一切努力鼓励代表性不足群体的候选人申请财政援助。

Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) is an emerging activity that involves the integration of computational modeling with the manufacturing process. It is expected to improve quality control and economic performance. The First World Congress on ICME will be held at the Seven Springs Mountain Resort. This site and the programming schedule are conducive to stimulating discussions and interactions. There will be seven internationally renowned keynote speakers, and additional oral presentations and presentations for a poster session will be selected based on the submitted abstracts. Active student participation is strongly encouraged, particularly in the poster session. An International Advisory Committee representing 14 countries is promoting the conference worldwide, and various associated international materials societies (including those from Brazil, Canada, Australia, and Japan) are promoting the conference their home countries. Participation by students, postdoctoral fellows and young faculty is being especially encouraged for the purpose of fostering future generations of the ICME workforce. NSF funding will be used to support registration fees for 20 students, 5 postdoctoral researchers, 5 young faculty, 5 keynote speakers and for partial support of the conference proceedings. The organizing committee is expected to invite candidates by contacting university departments and/or laboratories that are known to have strong programs in computational materials science and engineering. Every effort will be made to encourage candidates from underrepresented groups to apply for financial assistance.
