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

DMR？1041426Fultz，Brent T.这一奖项授予加州理工学院化学部、数学和物理科学材料研究部以及网络基础设施办公室。基金支持名为？计算散射科学研讨会2010？并将于7月6日至9日在阿贡国家实验室举行。讲习班的目的是确定和重新评估将分散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，展示现代计算如何促进分散科学，为科学发现提供新的机会，并发现机会。研讨会还将为组织未来的软件开发、管理维护、升级和国家S中子和X射线设施的用户支持提供思路。研讨会的结果将是一份报告，它将严格评估优势、劣势和成本效益，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，以及在促进美国公众对散射研究的认识方面的作用。还将讨论降低进入散射研究的门槛。最后，讲习班将有助于形成计算散射科学社区的核心，这样的社区对于优化这一领域的未来工作是必要的。

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.
