Conference: The 4th World Congress on Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME); Ypsilanti, Michigan; 21-25 May 2017

这笔赠款为将于2017年5月21日至25日在密歇根州伊普西兰蒂举行的题为第四届世界集成计算材料工程大会(ICME2017)的会议提供资金支持。在第一届、第二届和第三届ICME世界大会(2011年、2013年、2015年)的成功基础上，ICME2017是分享和传播该领域最新科学和工程进展的主要论坛。集成计算材料工程(ICME)是一种使用计算机建模程序来预测材料行为并将这些信息集成到整个材料、加工和制造设计周期中的方法。ICME因其在缩短产品开发时间、降低成本、改善设计和制造成果方面的巨大潜力而受到国际关注。ICME2017将把研究人员、专业人员和工程师聚集在一起，促进丰富的讨论和互动，旨在突出ICME在全球范围内的重要进展。我们非常鼓励学生参与，以便让学生接触到ICME的最新进展，从而帮助培养该领域的下一代领导者。本次会议向所有感兴趣的个人开放，包括来自学术研究、政府、工业和教育专业人员的混合与会者。ICME领域通过提供缩短产品开发时间的潜力，同时降低相关成本，帮助材料和制造设计发生革命性变化。ICME2017将审议的关键主题领域包括：(1)通过实验工作验证的ICME方法适用的广泛的材料计划，(2)ICME中使用的个别计算方法，(3)ICME在研究生和本科课程中的作用，(4)信息共享和模型集成所需的数字基础设施，(5)ICME实施战略，(6)验证、验证和不确定性量化，(7)互操作性和通信标准，以及(8)ICME全球联网倡议。本届世界大会将包括200多个演讲，包括三个同时举行的会议，有140名讲台演讲者和一个充满活力的海报会议。该项目旨在最大限度地促进建模人员和实验人员之间的互动，并在信息的广度和讨论的深度以及互动机会之间提供平衡；学术界、政府和行业的各种机构将参加。ICME2017将试图提供尽可能先进的技术会议，高级和初级调查人员、博士后实习生和学生将混合在一起

This grant provides financial support for the conference entitled The 4th World Congress on Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME2017) to be held from May 21-25, 2017 in Ypsilanti, Michigan. Building on the success of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd World Congresses on ICME (held in 2011, 2013, 2015), ICME2017 is the premier forum for sharing and dissemination of the latest scientific and engineering advances in this field. Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) is an approach that uses computer modeling programs to predict the behavior of materials and integrate this information into the overall materials, processing, and manufacturing design cycle. ICME has received international attention due to its great potential to shorten product development time, while lowering cost and improving design and manufacturing outcomes. ICME2017 will bring together researchers, professionals, and engineers in a setting which facilitates rich discussions and interactions, and aims to highlight the important advances in ICME on a global scale. Student participation is greatly encouraged in order to give students exposure to recent advances in ICME, and thus help prepare the next generation of leaders in this field. This meeting is open to all interested individuals, including a mixture of attendees from academic research, government, industry, and educational professions.The field of ICME has helped to revolutionize materials and manufacturing design by providing the potential to shorten product development time, while lowering the associated costs. The key topical areas that will be considered at ICME2017 include: (1) the wide range of materials programs where an ICME approach validated by experimental efforts is applicable, (2) individual computational methods utilized in ICME, (3) the roles of ICME in graduate and undergraduate courses, (4) digital infrastructure required for information sharing and model integration, (5) ICME implementation strategies, (6) verification, validation, and uncertainty quantification, (7) interoperability and communications standards, and (8) ICME networking initiatives worldwide. This world congress will include over 200 presentations comprising three concurrent sessions, with 140 podium speakers and a robust poster session. The program has been designed to maximize interaction among modelers and experimentalists and provide a balance between breadth of information and depth of discussion and interaction opportunities; various types of institutions across academia, government, and industry will be represented. ICME2017 will attempt to provide the most advanced technical meeting possible, with a mixture of senior and junior investigators, post-doctoral trainees and students
