2006 IFPSC problem proposals

 
Dear Colleagues,

The Industrial Fluid Properties Simulation Collective (http://ifpsc.org or
http://fluidproperties.org) would like to call your attention to a couple of
subjects.

First of all, we are finalizing the problem sets for 2006 Industrial Fluid
Properties Simulation Challenge, and we are seeking your input. The problems
in this, the third, Challenge are focused on transferability. We challenge
those that create and develop methods for property prediction in industry,
academia, and the government laboratories to demonstrate the capabilities of
their methods to make predictions for materials, properties, and state
points that differ from those used in the original parameterization or
"learning set" of their models. On our web site we have posted generic
descriptions of four challenge problems designed to test transferability.
Please read the problem descriptions and complete a brief online survey to
give us your feedback.  We will use your feedback to select and improve upon
a subset of the proposals to set the 2006 challenge problem(s) to be
announced during the last week of March (at the ACS National Meeting in
Atlanta and online at our web site).

The problem proposals are here:

The online survey to provide feedback is here:

Secondly, as we have probably mentioned to you before, the IFPSC has been
developing a vision statement and strategic document to describe where we
want to go and how we plan to get there.  It was made public last fall.
Since then we have received feedback from many individuals, and we have
tried to incorporate their feedback, where appropriate, into a second draft
of the strategic document that we made public this week.  Please take a look
at the document again (or for the first time) and let us know what you
think.  It is available here:

Sincerely,
The IFPSC organizing committee


The IFPSC is an industry-led initiative aimed at promoting and encouraging
the development of techniques for the prediction of industrially-relevant
fluid properties. The activities of the group are supported by the
Computational Molecular Science and Engineering Forum (CoMSEF) of the
American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE), the Computational
Chemistry (COMP) and Physical Chemistry (PHYS) divisions of the American
Chemical Society (ACS), The Dow Chemical Company, BP Amoco, NIST, Case
Scientific, ExxonMobil, Mitsubishi Chemical, 3M Company, and DuPont.
