Report of the Blue Ribbon Panel on Simulation-Based Engineering Science (SBES). The National Science Foundation commissioned a blue-ribbon panel of experts, chaired by J. Tinsley Oden, to produce a report on Simulation-Based Engineering Science. The report contains findings and recommendations to advance the discipline of Simulation-Based Engineering Science. The report discusses applications of computational simulation in several different areas as well as research opportunities and needs. It contains recommendations for advance SBES as a discipline. March 2006.
PITAC Report on Computational Science. This report, titled Computational Science: Ensuring the Nation's Competitiveness, was produced by a panel for the President's Information Technology Advisory Committee (PITAC) in June 2005. The panel, co-chaired by Marc Benioff and Edward Lazowska, reported on research opportunities in computational science and the societal impacts of investments in this field. Computational science is defined as the use of advanced computing capabilities to understand and solve complex problems. Among its many recommendations, this report called for restructuring of government funding portfolios and academic research structures to facilitate multisciplinary research, especially computational science.
Cyberinfrastructure Report. The report of the National Science Foundation Blue-Panel on Cyberinfrastructrure, chaired by Daniel Atkins, published January 2003. The title of the report is Revolutionizing Science and Engineering
Through Cyberinfrastructure.
PowerPoint presentation of David Keyes to the Office of Science and Technology Policy on May 4, 2004. The presentation showed, among other things, how advances in agorithms and numerical methods play an essential role in advancing computing capabilities, and complement advances in hardware.
