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，推进制造系统和流程中使用的技术和方法，以及在加州大学凯泽斯劳滕分校、加州大学戴维斯分校和加州大学伯克利分校之间建立一个无缝的合作环境。在第二个资助期，我们可以在所有三个领域的成功工作的基础上，进一步发展和完善我们的计划。教育工作被证明是非常成功的，第一阶段的毕业生在学术和工业就业市场上都开始了有前途的职业生涯。IRTG 2057将继续这个成功的故事，并在促进高水平研究的学术环境中，在制造科学领域培养和培训一批具有多文化和国际经验的工程师和计算机科学家。该IRTG的研究目标是通过应用科学基础和新颖的计算方法并结合基于物理的模型来改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。制造图灵的数字革命已经加速，该IRTG的核心科学目标是为制造系统和过程创建物理模型，这是第四次工业革命的核心。在第二个资助期，我们将继续发展研究计划，在保持总体目标和结构的同时，增加具体的新方面。第三个目标--在三所伙伴大学之间建立一个无缝的合作环境--也取得了非凡的成功。其中包括88名博士后和博士后研究人员互访、65名教授访问、IRTG所有成员在网上和社交媒体上的活动、14名教授在伙伴大学的论文委员会任职的案例、TU Kaiserslautern、加州大学戴维斯分校和加州大学伯克利分校的33份联合出版物、一次国际会议的组织，以及两期联合出版的期刊：已经实现了创建一个综合性全球学院的雄心勃勃的目标，我们将在IRTG 2057第二阶段继续这种密集的合作。

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.
