Two roundtables will address the themes of tomorrow’s Health and Mobility with participation of most major players from the ecosystem: Atos, Bechtle, CEA, Cray Computer, DDN, Dell EMC, HPE, Mellanox Technologies.

Technical and application workshops: state-of-the-art HPC/HDA and Machine learning (AI)

Eight workshops facilitated by experts on Wednesday, June 12, will provide an update on emerging technologies and new application areas for HPC, digital Simulation, Big Data and AI.

·       Digital twins. This workshop will provide answers with practical examples of how to make the transition from concept to reality in various industrial sectors and a variety of application areas.

·       Quantum computing. This workshop will present the current state of investigations in some fields of applications with their upheavals implied by quantum computing: partial differential equations (PDE), combinatorial optimization, inversion of linear systems, materials science, chemistry, artificial intelligence…

·       Environment, natural resources and climate change. This workshop will review major related issues and new technologies (IoT, Simulation, HPC, HPDA, AI…) currently used by main players in the field.

·       Digital and data sciences for precision medicine. This workshop will present examples of digital tools under development or already operational for personalized medicine.

·       Machine learning & predictive maintenance: Feedback from experience and best practices in the use of Machine learning and predictive maintenance to better anticipate failures, control machine downtime, improve machine lifecycle or reduce spare parts inventories are such exciting topics that will be discussed in this workshop.

·       Additive manufacturing & composite materials. This workshop will review the latest advances in simulation with interventions from industrialists and academics working in the fields of metal additive manufacturing and composite materials.

·       Data handling and management. This workshop will explain how to properly manage the amounts of data generated by digital simulation project works, large scale experimental devices or sensor networks.

·       Autonomous systems. Major players in the sector will present their research and simulation tools for land, sea, air and space autonomous systems and vehicles, whether civil or military.

For this edition, presentation of the 2019 Trophies for Simulation and Digital Technologies co-organized with L’Usine Digitale by Teratec and its partners from the CEA and Inria will end first day of the Forum preceding a festive and friendly evening on the lakefront of the Ecole Polytechnique, organized with Intel.

During these two days, an exhibition will welcome more than sixty major players from industry and new technologies as well as innovative start-ups to present their latest innovations, willing to draw the world of tomorrow in front of you.

For your convenience when coming to the Forum and to enjoy a shuttle service dedicated to media upon request is available, please do let us know at the following email address: [email protected]
