Dear Colleagues, With just over a week till the AICHE meeting, we are sending a reminder about the workshop on Simulation Based Engineering Science that will be held on Tuesday November 9th as a Topical Program at the upcoming AICHE national meeting in Salt Lake City. We hope you can attend. Through invited speakers from Sandia Livermore National Laboratory, Aspentech, Ford, DuPont, Honeywell, Eastman Chemical, Savannah River National Laboratory, the Council on Competitiveness, NSF, Vanderbilt, Michigan, Texas - Austin, NCSU and UCLA, the Topical Summit will consider the disruptive implications of SBE&S for science and industry including key technological and applied capabilities and their impacts, the workforce, education, national investment and policy and the role of the Institute. The report, "Vision for Research and Development in Simulation-Based Engineering Science in the next decade" at http://www.wtec.org//view <http://www.wtec.org//view> provides the background for the workshop. The workshop will be held on Tuesday November 9th in Salon II (Hilton): 8:30 - 11:00 - The role of simulation and large-database studies in innovation, shortened product-to-production lifecycles, high-fidelity prediction, scenario-based planning in operations, real-time business to operations planning, supply-chain optimization 12:30 - 3:00 - Information technology, simulation, networked information and data-sharing for Smart Process Manufacturing - operational resiliency, transition management, EH&S performance, energy and sustainability performance and economic competitiveness 3:15 - 5:45 - The implications of SBE&S for science and industry including key technological and applied capabilities and the impacts on the workforce, education, national investment, policy and the role of the Institute If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the organizing committee for additional information.
