Workshop on Simulation-Based Engineering Science; April 15-16, 2004; Arlington, VA

基于模拟的工程科学讲座：Ted Belytschko(西北大学)，Jacob Fish(Rensselaer)，Tom Hughes(德克萨斯大学)，Tinsley Oden(德克萨斯大学)计算工程科学的抽象进展为解决影响工程和科学的每一个分支、所有美国人的健康和安全以及生活质量的各种基本问题带来了希望。这些新的进展包含在基于模拟的工程科学这一新兴领域，在该领域中，现代计算方法和设备以及附属技术可以结合起来，解决远远超出传统科学和工程方法范围的基本问题。通过整合工程科学、计算和应用数学、计算机科学、各种成像和传感器技术、可视化以及分布式和网格计算等领域，可以达到一个新的能力水平，将在许多方面造福社会，例如以更低的成本改进产品，改善健康和环境，以及增强安全性和安全性。由于学科的跨学科性质，以及缺乏专门针对模拟科学和工程的计划，NSF或其他机构可能不存在用于管理和资助推进基于模拟的工程科学(SBES)学科所需的研究的有效机制。这次研讨会的主要目的是探讨这一问题，为该领域及其在当代工程中的地位提供更详细的定义。拟议活动产生的更广泛的影响是确定如何加快以模拟为基础的工程科学的研究，并将其应用于涉及广泛国家利益的紧迫问题。

Workshop on Simulation-Based Engineering Science Chairs: Ted Belytschko (Northwestern), Jacob Fish (Rensselaer), Tom Hughes (U Texas), Tinsley Oden (U Texas) ABSTRACT Advances in computational engineering science offer hope for resolving a variety of fundamental problems that affect every branch of engineering and science, the health and security and the quality of life of all Americans. These new advances are encompassed in the emerging field of Simulation-Based Engineering Science, wherein modern computational methods and devices and collateral technologies can be combined to resolve fundamental issues far outside the reach of traditional scientific and engineering methods. By integrating the fields of engineering science, computational and applied mathematics, computer science, various imaging and sensor technologies, visualization, and distributed and grid computing, a new level of capabilities can be reached that will benefit society in many ways, such as improved products at reduced cost, improved health and environment, and enhancements in security and safety. Efficient mechanisms for managing and funding the research needed to advance the discipline of Simulation-Based Engineering Science (SBES) may not exist within NSF or other agencies, due to the interdisciplinary character of the subject and due to the absence of programs specifically aimed at simulation science and engineering. The primary objective of this workshop is to explore this issue, to provide a more detailed definition of the field and its place in contemporary engineering. The broader impact resulting from the proposed activity is to determine how the research in the Simulation-Based Engineering Science can be accelerated and brought to bear on pressing problems of broad national interest.
