General & Scientific Applications

Track Coordinators: José Arnaldo B. Montevechi, UNIFEI; Evelyn Brown, East Carolina University

The General and Scientific Applications track invites papers describing original work that advances the state-of-the-art in computer-based simulation for all areas of scientific computing in science and engineering, such as astrophysics, advanced chemicals and materials, nano materials, nuclear fission/fusion systems, condensed matter physics, quantum physics, computational biology, climate change, meteorology, geology, oil exploration, power storage and alternative fuels.. Of added interest are new methodologies, tools and techniques for asynchronous and mathematical methods in traditional scientific computing problems. Algorithms, formal methods, analysis systems, frameworks, case studies, literature surveys and performance analysis studies are all of interest. Both sequential as well as parallel execution are within scope.

Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Simulator design and construction
  • High performance computing methods
  • Visualization systems and techniques
  • Monte Carlo methods
  • Uncertainty quantification
  • Large simulation/model structuring
  • Simulation software engineering and organization
  • Model interoperability approaches and standards
  • Multi-scale modeling and integrated execution
  • Large-scale input and output (I/O) data systems for scale
  • Integration of linear algebra and/or mathematical equation solvers with simulation engines
  • Simulation languages and packages for scientific simulations
  • Physical system modeling with discrete event simulation (DES) approaches
  • Multi-scale system modeling and simulation with asynchronous methods
  • DES-based simulation of highly dynamic and/or heterogeneous systems
  • Asynchronous integration methods
  • DES-based ordinary/partial differential equation solution methods
  • Asynchronous simulation of dynamical systems
  • Continuous-discrete hybrid simulation
