ASC Simulation and V&V Showcased at the ICED-07 Conference, Portugal
François Hemez of X-1-MV at Los Alamos was invited to be one of three keynote speakers at the 4th International Conference on Engineering Dynamics (ICED). The ICED is organized by the Instituto Superior Tecnico, Universidade Tecnica de Lisboa. This year, the conference was held in Carvoeiro, Portugal, on April 16–19, 2007. The conference is an international forum where recent advances in the disciplines of testing, modeling, and validation are discussed for engineering applications. One-hundred engineers and scientists attended, originating, for the most part, from Eastern Europe, Western Europe, and the United States. The keynote presentation, entitled “15 Years of Verifying and Validating Simulations at Los Alamos” (LA-UR-07-2213), showcased some of the accomplishments of the ASC Program in terms of simulation capability and Verification and Validation (V&V), with an emphasis on engineering applications.
