| Abstract Scope |
In an era witnessing profound shifts in the generation, transfer, and application of information and knowledge used to develop, manufacture, and employ materials, a landscape of immense opportunities and challenges emerges for society. The synergy of global advocacy for open science, unprecedented insights into physical phenomena, a myriad of data-centric analysis techniques, the advent of digitally-native characterization and manufacturing equipment, and the widespread embrace of model-based engineering in industry are reshaping how we approach problems and innovate solutions. It is fitting that the three co-located meetings within this specialty congress represent exemplar topics that harness the full potential of these transformative changes. This talk will delve into the transformative journey we are undertaking, highlighting both the challenges that lie ahead and the abundant opportunities that await exploration in the rapidly evolving intersection of these advancements. |
