ICMSE-MGI Digital Data Workshop

Digital Data for MGI: understanding requirements and investigating semantic and federated approaches
Background
"Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) is the integration of materials information, captured in computational tools, with engineering product performance analysis and manufacturing process simulation." his definition of ICME provided by the National Research Council in 2008 describes the complexity of the engineering framework being constructed to enable 21st century materials science and engineering. This framework will be comprised of modeling tools and experimental data to provide an integrated engineering capability that describes the composition, processing, structure, and property relationships of a material used to design and manufacture components.
The ICME construct is very much in keeping with the goal of the Materials Genome Initiative’s (MGI) to double the speed at which we discover, develop and manufacture new materials. The goal will be achieved through the development of a materials innovation infrastructure that includes computational tools, experimental tools, digital data, and collaborative networks.
Workshop Purpose
Numerous entities have observed that the complexity and significantly enhanced engineering capability of an ICME framework raise important questions pertaining to the ability to discover, assess, integrate and use materials data and information. This workshop will focus on the application of semantic technologies to structural design <ref>Discussion should also include functional material considerations (e.g. thermal conductivity, lightning strike, etc.)</ref>, manufacturing, and materials design and development.
- Facilitate cross-talk between approximately thirty technical subject matter experts (SME): structural design, materials & manufacturing, data modeling, and knowledge discovery
- Explain and demonstrate how federated architectures enabling linked data and knowledge representation designed for the semantic web can be applied to the ICMSE domain
- Identify general provenance requirements and present approaches to capture provenance
- Discuss the SOA in ensuring data integrity and security
Target Audience
Those who create and use data:
- Structural Designers
- Materials Suppliers
- Materials Scientists and Engineers
- Supply chain managers
- Manufacturing Engineers
Those who create technologies to create federated data architectures and capture knowledge:
- Information ontologists
- Knowledge capture and dicovery experts
- Data modelers
- Security experts
Location and Schedule
The specifics of this schedule are draft. The agenda will be finalized after receiving feedback from attendees.
