2nd World Congress on Integrated Computational Materials Engineering

Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) has received international attention due to its great potential to shorten product and process development time, while lowering cost and improving outcome. Building on the great success of the 1st World Congress on Integrated Computational Materials Engineering in 2011, TMS is launching this conference (ICME 2013) to convene ICME stakeholders – including researchers, educators, and engineers – to examine topics relevant to the global advancement of ICME as an engineering discipline. This conference will provide a forum for presentations and discussions of ICME-related issues, including: Foundational engineering problems addressed by an ICME approach Individual computational components of an ICME program Challenges in integrating models to achieve ICME Experimental programs and techniques that support ICME efforts Data management issues, including vetting, sharing, and housing materials data Digital infrastructure required for information sharing and model integration ICME in engineering education at the undergraduate and graduate levels The goal of ICME 2013 is to assemble the community of ICME contributors to capture the current state-of-the-art, identify current gaps in ICME efforts, and to set the stage for the future growth and application of ICME worldwide.
