ICME 2016 - Second International Workshop on Software Solutions for Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (4.12-15,2016,Spain)

About ICMEg

The ICMEg - the Integrated Computational Materials Engineering expert group - aims to build up a scientific network of stakeholders concentrating on boosting ICME into industrial application by defining a common communication standard for ICME relevant tools. This will allow the network stakeholders to benefit from sharing knowledge and best practice and thus promote a deeper understanding even between the different communities of materials scientists, IT engineers and industrial users. The Vision of ICMEg is a new strategy of materials and process development, where a variety of academic and commercial simulation tools - present and future - can be easily combined across different process steps and bridging several length scales in a ¡°plug & play¡± type architecture being based on an object oriented, standardized information exchange.

The Mission of ICMEg is to establish and to maintain a network of contacts to

  • simulation software providers around the world
  • governmental and international standardization authorities
  • ICME type users of simulation software
  • different associations in the area of materials and processing
  • academic developers of simulation software

The Mission of ICMEg further is

  • to stimulate knowledge sharing in the field of multiscale materials design
  • to define an ICME language in form of an open and standardized communication protocol
  • to communicate this standard worldwide to make it widely accepted
  • to discuss and to decide about future amendments to the initial standard
  • to establish a legal body for a sustainable further development

The present ICMEg consortium comprises a total of 11 partners from 6 European countries. These are academic institutions and especially SME and private non-profit software providers in the areas of computational materials modeling and FEM simulations of materials processing. Each of them individually has already initiated own platform strategies towards integrative computational materials engineering.
