GRK 2057: Physical Modelling for Virtual Manufacturing Systems and Processes

国际研究培训小组IRTG 2057有三个主要目标：教育和培训下一代工程师和计算机科学家，推进制造系统和过程中使用的技术和方法，以及在凯泽斯劳滕工业大学，加州大学戴维斯分校和加州大学伯克利分校之间建立无缝的合作环境。在第二个资助期，我们可以在这三个领域的成功工作的基础上，进一步发展和完善我们的项目。事实证明，教育工作非常成功，第一阶段的毕业生在学术和工业就业市场上开始了有前途的职业生涯。IRTG 2057将延续这一成功故事，在促进高水平研究的学术环境中，教育和培养具有多元文化和国际经验的制造科学领域高度多元化的工程师和计算机科学家。该IRTG的研究目标是通过将科学基础和新颖的计算方法与基于物理的模型相结合，推进制造系统和过程中使用的技术和方法，在过去四年中已被证明具有极高的科学和工业价值。制造业的数字革命已经加速，而第四次工业革命的核心科学目标是为制造系统和流程创建物理模型。在第二个资助期内，我们将继续发展研究计划，在保持总体目标和结构的同时增加特定的新方面。第三个目标是在三所合作大学之间建立一个无缝的合作环境，这一目标也取得了非凡的成功。博士生和博士后互访88人次，教授互访65人次，IRTG全体成员在线和社交媒体活动，合作大学论文委员会教授14人次，凯泽斯劳滕工业大学、加州大学戴维斯分校和加州大学伯克利分校联合发表论文33篇，组织国际会议1次，联合出版期刊2期；创建综合性全球学院的宏伟目标已经实现，我们将在IRTG 2057的第二阶段继续这种密切合作。

The International Research Training Group IRTG 2057 has three main objectives: educating and training the next generation of engineers and computer scientists, advancing technology and methods used in manufacturing systems and processes, and establishing a seamless co-operative environment between TU Kaiserslautern, UC Davis, and UC Berkeley. During the second funding period, we can build on successful work in all three areas and further develop and refine our program. The educational work has proven to be extraordinarily successful with graduates from the first phase starting promising careers on both the academic and industrial job markets. IRTG 2057 will continue this success story and educate and train a highly diverse group of engineers and computer scientists in the area of manufacturing science with multi-cultural and international experience in an academic environment that promotes high-class research. The research objective of this IRTG, advancing technology and methods used in manufacturing systems and processes by applying scientific fundamentals and novel computational methods in conjunction with physics-based models, has proven to be of exceptional high scientific and industrial value over the past four years. The digital revolution in manufac-turing has taken up speed and the central scientific goal of this IRTG, creating physical models for manufacturing systems and processes, is at the core of the fourth industrial revolution. During the second funding period, we will continue to develop the research program, adding specific new aspects while maintaining the overall aim and structure. The third objective, establishing a seamless collaborative environment between the three partner universities, has been implemented with exceptional success as well. 88 exchange visits of PhD students and postdoctoral researchers, 65 visits by professors, online and social media activities of all IRTG members, 14 cases of professors serving on thesis committees at the partner universities, 33 joint publications between TU Kaiserslautern, UC Davis and UC Berkeley, the organization of an international conference, and two jointly published journal issues: the ambitious goal of creating an integrated global academy was achieved and we will continue this intensive collaboration through the second phase of IRTG 2057.
