The webinar will show why the role of computational science and engineering is critical for thriving in today's global marketplace.
ANN ARBOR, Michigan, USA 17 November 2020—CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm, announces a free webinar on “How Key Technologies are Converging for a Smarter, More Connected World.” The webinar will take place on Wednesday, 9 December, at 11:00 a.m. EST.
The webinar will feature commentary from Professor Karen Willcox, Director of the Oden Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences at the University of Texas at Austin. An expert in her field, Professor Willcox, will discuss computational science and engineering’s role at the convergence of simulation, data analytics, and compute power. Professor Willcox will also consider:
- Why big decisions need both big data and big models.
- The last six decades of engineering decision-making tools.
- Why true predictive digital twins need machine learning, operational data, and physics models.
- How opportunities in predictive data science in engineering will continue to bring physics, data, and HPC disciplines together.
CIMdata’s Director for Simulation-Driven Systems Development, Don Tolle, will open the webinar with an overview of the significant product development market trends. He will also share the key findings and takeaways from a recent survey that sought to understand how companies are exploiting the convergence between data analytics, simulation, and high-performance computing to thrive in today’s competitive global marketplace.
Finally, attendees will hear from Altair’s CTO, James Dagg, who will provide an overview of Altair’s vision and strategy for the engineering of smart connected products, look at the keys to innovation and success, and offer a few current application examples.
According to Professor Willcox on this crucial topic, “Big data alone is not enough. Big decisions must blend Big Data and Big Models.”
The webinar will provide answers to the following questions:
- What activities will move to the cloud most aggressively?
- Are machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) under-leveraged for business decisions?
- How will the multiple digital twins across an enterprise synchronize?
- Will IoT-based business models be central to the future of many manufacturing companies?
