 At the UGS Connection 2007 Conference
Simulation Track Birds-Of-a-Feather (BOF) Sessions
This year, the Simulation SIG is introducing Birds-Of-a-Feather sessions,
to maximize the value of your time at the conference by learning from
other attendees, exchanging ideas, and networking. These BOF sessions
are opportunities for attendees with similar interests to “flock” together
informally, for open discussion on specific topics. Apart from location,
these sessions are not part of the published conference agenda and will
only be finalized at the conference and announced at the beginning of
the Simulation Track sessions each day.
Topics for BOF session can be proposed by any attendee, to the Simulation
SIG chairperson or one of the technical committee leaders; preferably
before the conference (by email/phone), or at the latest by lunch time
on Tuesday of the conference week. This will allow the SIG chairperson
to announce the topics during Tuesday PM sessions and secure meeting
rooms, if necessary.
No abstracts or presentations are required. However, once the topic
is approved, the facilitator will be expected to open the session, share
his/her experience and facilitate the discussion that follows. The intent
is for the facilitator to simply ‘seed’ the discussion with
a short (10-15 min) talk at the beginning and encourage ‘round-table’ type,
informal interaction for the rest of the time. A total time of 45 min.
has been allocated for each BOF session. While UGS staff may (or may
not) be present, it is not the intent for this session to be a Q&A
with UGS staff.
The following topics have already been proposed:
- Response Simulation
Facilitator: Mary Baker, ATA Engineering
- Running NX NASTRAN on distributed
memory Linux clusters
Facilitator: Ramesh Krishnan, ATK Launch
Systems
