The research objective of this award is to identify and critically evaluate the most promising research areas and research themes in the field of simulation-based engineering and science. Ideas and data will be gathered in a workshop from some of the nation's leading researchers in the field. These will be supplemented by the results from a recently completed report from a predecessor study, which gathered similar data from 59 leading labs abroad. Deliverables include a conference proceedings report to be available as a bound volume at the meeting on April 22, an updated version posed on the Web when all presentations are finalized by the participants, a draft version of a final synthesis report of the workshop findings, and a bound volume of the final report when all editing has been completed. Both the proceedings and final report will be maintained on the Web for at least five years.The results of this research will enable researchers and research managers to focus their efforts on the areas: (1) that need the most work to overcome barriers to progress, and (2) that offer the greatest potential for progress. This methodology is emerging as an equal partner to the long established mathematical and experimental methodologies for scientific and engineering investigation. The advent of vastly more powerful computers at affordable costs, and recent quantum improvements in software algorithms allow researchers to use simulation and modeling techniques to investigate problems that were never tractable before. New simulation techniques allow the researcher to explore situations in materials, biomedical, energy, the environment, and many other domains that offer the promise of greatly improved predictions. Examples of application areas include global warming, earthquakes, tsunamis, volcano eruptions, terrorist attacks and their aftermath, nanotechnology safety, financial crises, and many others --almost anything can be modeled and simulated with useful results. Further, this emerging discipline offers means of attracting young people into science and engineering because of its wide application to important, but easily understood, situations, its attractive visualization outputs, and its accessibility to even beginning students.

该奖项的研究目标是确定并批判性地评估基于模拟的工程和科学领域中最有希望的研究领域和研究主题。 想法和数据将收集到该国一些领域的一些领先研究人员的研讨会中。 这些将由一项前任研究最近完成的报告的结果补充，该报告收集了来自国外59个领先的实验室的类似数据。 可交付成果包括一份会议诉讼报告，可在4月22日的会议上作为绑定卷，当参与者最终确定所有演示文稿时，在网络上提出的更新版本，研讨会调查结果的最终综合报告草案，以及所有编辑都完成后，最终报告的数量。 程序和最终报告都将在网络上保持至少五年。这项研究的结果将使研究人员和研究经理能够将精力集中在这些领域上：（1）需要最多的工作来克服障碍来进步，以及（2）提供最大进步潜力。 这种方法正在成为科学和工程研究的长期数学和实验方法的平等伙伴。 强大的计算机以负担得起的成本以及最近的软件算法改进的出现，使研究人员可以使用仿真和建模技术来研究以前从未解决的问题。 新的仿真技术使研究人员可以探索材料，生物医学，能源，环境以及许多其他域中的情况，这些域提供了大大改善预测的希望。 应用领域的例子包括全球变暖，地震，海啸，火山爆发，恐怖袭击及其后果，纳米技术安全，金融危机和许多其他人 - 几乎可以通过有用的结果对任何东西进行建模和模拟。 此外，这一新兴学科提供了吸引年轻人进入科学和工程学的手段，因为它广泛地应用了重要但容易理解的情况，情况，有吸引力的可视化输出以及对培养学生的可访问性。
