Cluster of Excellence in Simulation Technology
In the 21st century's societies, Simulation Technology is one of the most challenging research areas in contemporary engineering and natural sciences with a fundamental effect on all fields of human life. It offers solutions for a broad variety of applications with an enormous economic and scientific impact. Recent and future developments in technology and society pose challenges which require Simulation Technology to advance to a new level.
Our Cluster of Excellence in Simulation Technology will have the power to strengthen the sustainable evolution of research areas that are of fundamental importance in both science and the economy, as well as to conceive new and visionary applications of simulation sciences. The goal of this proposal is to further intensify the university's engagement in the field of Simulation Technology in order to maintain and to expand our excellent standing in this important and trend-setting field in a dedicated intersectorial structure.
Establishing integrative prediction methods and solutions for future challenges, the Cluster concentrates on six methodical Research Areas (RA) ranging from Molecular Dynamics and Advanced Mechanics via Computational Mathematics and Systems Analysis to Data Management and Interactive Visualisation as well as to Hybrid High-Performance Computing Systems and Simulation Software Engineering. An Integrative Platform acts as a bracket of reflexion and evaluation. Through transfer of scientific results to application we will furthermore contribute to the economic benefit of our society.
