Computing and Data Science for Materials Discovery and Design – CDMDD
Web Address: https://www.eecis.udel.edu/~uschill/cdmdd/
Contact: Ulf Schiller, University of Delaware, USA, email
Description: Computing, advanced data analysis, and machine learning are transforming materials discovery and design for engineering and manufacturing applications. An enabling factor of this success is the increased performance of simulation and machine learning methods that can be achieved on modern supercomputing systems. However, further advances in computational science are needed to fully exploit the potential of computing and data. Materials design requires to solve the inverse problem of identifying product formulations and processes that meet desired properties and performance characteristics. The ultimate goal is to create cyber-physical systems for materials discovery that combine computation and physical experiments by implementing an autonomous feedback loop of design, characterization, and optimization. Tackling this grand challenge requires a combination of physics-based simulation and data-driven approaches including machine learning and AI. For example, there is a need for approaches that extend algorithmic predictions beyond the bounds of the known feature space to enable extrapolation rather than interpolation. Such approaches need to reconcile probability and uncertainty of real-world or synthetic data with the fundamental laws of physics in order to establish reliable models and predictions.
The CDMDD workshop brings together experts from materials science, physics, chemistry, computer science, data science, and artificial intelligence. It provides a forum to synergize interdisciplinary perspectives and accelerate the advancement of computing and data-driven materials design in research and industry.

Description: Credible modelling and simulation of multiscale systems constitutes a grand challenge in computational science, and is widely applied in fields ranging from the physical sciences and engineering to the life science and the socio-economic domain. Most of the real-life systems encompass interactions within and between a wide range of spatio-temporal scales, and/or on many separate levels of organization. They require the development of sophisticated models and computational techniques to accurately simulate the diversity and complexity of multiscale problems, and to effectively capture the wide range of relevant phenomena within these simulations. Moreover, these multiscale models frequently need large scale computing capabilities as well as dedicated software and services that enable the exploitation of existing and evolving computational ecosystems.

Simulations of Flow and Transport: Modeling, Algorithms and Computation – SOFTMAC
Web Address: Coming soon.
Contact: Shuyu Sun, Tongji University, China, email
Description: Modeling of flow and transport is an essential component of many scientific and engineering applications, with increased interests in recent years. Application areas vary widely, and include groundwater contamination, carbon sequestration, air pollution, petroleum exploration and recovery, weather prediction, drug delivery, material design, chemical separation processes, biological processes, and many others. However, accurate mathematical and numerical simulation of flow and transport remains a challenging topic from many aspects of physical modeling, numerical analysis and scientific computation. Mathematical models are usually expressed via nonlinear systems of partial differential equations, with possibly rough and discontinuous coefficients, whose solutions are often singular and discontinuous. An important step of a numerical solution procedure is to apply advanced discretization methods (e.g. finite elements, finite volumes, and finite differences) to the governing equations. Local mass conservation and compatibility of numerical schemes are often necessary to obtain physical meaningful solutions. Another important solution step is the design of fast and accurate solvers for the large-scale linear and nonlinear algebraic equation systems that result from discretization. Solution techniques of interest include multiscale algorithms, mesh adaptation, parallel algorithms and implementation, efficient splitting or decomposition schemes, and others.
The international workshop on “Simulations of Flow and Transport: Modeling, Algorithms and Computation” (SOFTMAC) has been held 14 years since 2011 within the International Conference on Computational Science (ICCS).

We invite original research articles describing the recent advances in mathematical modeling, computer simulation, numerical analysis, and other computational aspects of flow and transport phenomena of flow and transport.

Solving Problems with Uncertainties – SPU
Contact: Vassil Alexandrov, Hartree Centre – STFC, United Kingdom, email
Description: Problems with uncertainty need to be tackled in an increasing variety of areas, from physics, chemistry, engineering, computational biology and environmental sciences to decision making in economics and social sciences. Uncertainty is unavoidable in almost all systems analysis, risk analysis, decision making and modelling and simulation. How uncertainty is handled and quantified shapes the integrity of the analysis, and the correctness and credibility of the solution and the results is especially important when tackling complex systems.
With exascale computing now being a reality, and the advances of big data analytics and scalable AI, larger and larger problems – often requiring hybrid approaches – have to be solved in a systematic way at scale. The problem of solving such problems with uncertainties and quantifying the uncertainties becomes even more important, especially in the case of complex systems, due to the variety and scale of uncertainties in such problems.
The focus of the workshop will be on methods and algorithms for solving problems with uncertainties, stochastic methods and algorithms for solving problems with uncertainties, AI and hybrid approaches dealing with uncertainties, methods and algorithms for quantifying uncertainties such as dealing with data input and missing data, sensitivity analysis (local and global), dealing with model inadequacy, model validation and averaging, software fault-tolerance and resilience, and more.
