Posted on: 7/10/2012 12:00:00 AM... Through the vision and insight of its members, TMS has established itself as a leader in advancing integrated computational materials engineering (ICME), an emerging discipline that serves to greatly accelerate materials and product development, while also significantly reducing costs.. Building on its reputation and experience in ICME, TMS launched Materials Innovation @ TMS to promote the development of a new materials innovation infrastructure, and has made its commitment to this potentially transformative approach to materials design and manufacture a core element of its strategic plan.

The exceptional strength of technical programming in this area planned for the TMS 2013 Annual Meeting and Exhibition, March 3 through 7 in San Antonio, Texas, serves to further establish TMS as the recognized hub for learning, growth, and advancement of these concepts. Materials science and engineering professionals who wish to share their knowledge and perspectives on these issues have until July 31 to submit their abstracts for consideration.

Many of the symposia directly related to this topic are housed in the TMS 2013 Advanced Characterization, Modeling, and Performance programming track. Additional details, including full descriptions of the symposia and submission instructions, are available at this link.
