GLOBAL MEET

Computational Modeling and Simulation: Recent Innovations, Challenges & Perspectives

The world has been fighting an invisible enemy in the form of Covid-19 and the uncertainty about the future necessitates the need for strengthening our scientific research so as to enable the society to safeguard its educational system and economy in a planned and strategic manner. Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS), Pilani, India has embraced this challenge by taking an initiative to organize an international global meet on ‘Computational Modeling and Simulation: Recent Innovations, Challenges & Perspectives’ during Oct 16 – Nov 07, 2020. Computational modelling and simulation have become the promising approach for studying the behavior of physical and complex engineering, enterprise information, agricultural and water resources, biological and communication systems before deployment in a real setting. Mathematical and computational studies are very much interesting in the sense of improving the understanding of experimental results for which experiments are intractable.

Simulation of large complex dynamic systems can be processed in an efficient manner using advanced computational analysis. The primary goal of the webinar is to strengthen University’s preeminence in computational modeling and simulation by catalyzing the transformative use of innovative developments in a wide range of disciplines to achieve lasting societal impact. This is one of many steps to build collaboration with academic institutes across the globe by building a network for academicians and research scientists, allowing them to share their research contributions to the modelling and simulation driven by computational technology, thereby nurturing the future generations to become the next generation academic leaders in the field of emergent computational systems.
