Planned Symposia

Atomistic Simulations

This symposium will focus on simulation approaches, tools, and materials properties at the atomistic scale and will include the presentations on state-of-the-art capabilities, challenges, and future directions. Predictions of properties at both zero Kelvin and finite temperatures are of interest.

Meso/Macroscale Simulations
Microstructural attributes to processing and property modeling of materials play a central role in materials design and multi-scale modeling. Their quantification and insertion into models are highly desirable. This symposium seeks to advance progress in this area through discussion of topics at scales above atoms, with a particular interest in integration of scales.

Computational Design of Materials
Optimal and robust design of materials involve selection of chemistry and processing for desired microstructure and targeted properties. In addition to tools and databases, uncertainty quantification is central for its broad acceptance—a topic of particular interest for this symposium.
