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)是一项将计算建模与制造过程相结合的新兴活动。预计将提高质量控制和经济效益。首届世界ICME大会将在七泉山度假村举行。这个网站和节目安排有利于激发讨论和互动。将有七位国际知名的主旨演讲者，并将根据提交的摘要选择其他口头陈述和海报会议的陈述。强烈鼓励学生积极参与，特别是在张贴海报的过程中。一个代表14个国家的国际咨询委员会正在全球范围内宣传这次会议，各种相关的国际材料学会(包括来自巴西、加拿大、澳大利亚和日本的学会)正在各自的母国宣传这次会议。特别鼓励学生、博士后研究员和年轻教员参与，以培养ICME工作人员的后代。NSF的资金将用于支持20名学生、5名博士后研究人员、5名年轻教师、5名主旨演讲者的注册费，以及对会议进程的部分支持。组委会预计将通过联系大学院系和/或实验室来邀请候选人，这些大学系和/或实验室在计算材料科学和工程方面拥有强大的课程。将尽一切努力鼓励代表人数不足的群体的候选人申请经济援助。

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.
