Plan now to join leading industry analysts from CPDA, members of CPDA’s Design/Simulation Council, leading-edge end users, and top academic researchers from Georgia Tech on May 13th and May 14th for two workshops that will explore the latest thinking on the critical issues facing design and simulation.  At CPDA’s Developing a Design/Simulation Framework Workshop, which takes place on Tuesday, May 13th, attendees will discover what members of CPDA’s Design/Simulation Council and other leading-edge users have been doing to further a standard framework for simulation employing common terminology, to integrate and optimize the divergent specialist activities currently fragmenting design efforts.

The status of the technology currently available will be reviewed and an updated scorecard will be available. End users who are implementing pilot programs will also be on hand to discuss actual results and targets. The workshop will consider the following critical areas: 

1. Simulation Data Management: Simulation data, Meta data, and context data.
2. Simulation Process Support: Standardized work procedures and optimization loops, change process and configuration control, and collaboration processes.
3. Simulation Integration Framework: Design and simulation applications, links and data exchange, and multi-disciplinary workflow execution.

After hearing the presentations and joining in the interactive discussions on these topics you will be able to answer the following questions as they relate to your own situation:
