Arizona Center for Integrative Modeling & Simulation

First Open House

Tucson, AZ, USA

Nov. 18, 2001

Meeting Synopsis

The ACIMS Open House will be held before the Ultra Large Network (ULN) NSF sponsored workshop. This Open House will hold the first organizational meeting of the new Arizona Center for Integrative Modeling and Simulation. Some of the workshop participants in the M&S area will be invited to join others to take part in a daylong meeting to explore the potential for integrative M&S research. Industrial, governmental and academic leaders in the M&S world will exchange views on where the M&S field should be headed and what research is needed to get it there. Although this meeting is not included in the NSF sponsorship, we anticipate that it will offer a valuable forum for affording visibility of thrust areas related to the new Center and an opportunity to interest potential sponsors for integrative M&S research. An outline of the anticipated schedule of activities is included below.
