The focus will be on the integration of high-performance computational tools, originally designed for science, into a virtual engineering environment able to enable the collaborative design such as for the fabrication of a feasible fusion reactor with a seventy-year data lifecycle. The technologies are tool agnostic, applicable to any complex engineering domain, and designed to be incorporated into existing engineering and other relevant platforms.
The meeting will focus on the virtual engineering process employing workflow automation and data movement technologies (EFFIS and ADIOS) as essential enabling components for tasks in situ that can facilitate scientific discovery from multiple heterogeneous data sources (simulation, experiment, sensor), and at scales that will enable near real-time decision-making, design optimization, and data-driven discovery.
