Subject: MGI-themed symposium @ Fall MRS (Abstract Deadline June 18th)
To: "Kusne, Aaron Gilad" <aaron.kusne(a)nist.gov>
Dear Colleague,
We would like to bring to your attention an exciting symposium we are
organizing at the MRS Fall Meeting in Boston (November 29 - December 4)
this year. The Materials Genome Initiative-themed Symposium CCC:
Integrating Experiments, Simulations and Machine Learning to Accelerate
Materials Innovation <http://www.mrs.org/fall-2015-call-for-papers-ccc/> is
designed to bring together the community of researchers working on
different aspects of high throughput materials science, integration of
theory and experiment, and materials by design. We welcome your
contribution to the symposium on a variety of topics related to this field
including the following topics:
- Materials by design: strategies and approaches
- Integrating theory and experiment as well as theorists and
experimentalists
- Materials genome initiative
- Theory driven materials development
- High-throughput first-principles theory and computation
- Materials synthesis for high-throughput combinatorial discovery and
development
- Strategies and tools for high-throughput materials property
measurements
- Advancing materials into applications: combinatorial device
optimization and design
- Transforming data into knowledge
- Informatics, data mining, and enabling software
- Sharing materials data: web based portals and tools
- Sharing materials data: overcoming the ownership issue
- Synthesis strategies and tools for quantifying materials behavior at
interfaces
- Transforming data into knowledge and creating tools for educating the
MGI generation workforce
- Development of data formatting and measurement standards for
combinatorial studies
Please note that the deadline for submitting abstracts is June 18 at
http://www.mrs.org/fall-2015-technical-sessions/
We will also have a tutorial on the Nov. 29th.
We look forward to seeing you in Boston in December!

the *Symposium CCC: Integrating Experiments, Simulations and Machine
Learning to Accelerate Materials Innovation*
<http://www.mrs.org/fall-2015-call-for-papers-ccc/> symposium to take place
during the 2015 MRS Fall Meeting & Exhibit
<http://track.mrs.org/y/?e=9178%21%21t%21%21358%21%210%21%218111%21%21takeuchi%40umd.edu%21%21239%21%210%21%211%21%210%21%21http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Emrs%2Eorg%2Ffall2015%2F>
to
be held November 29 - December 4 in Boston.
Materials by Design is rapidly becoming a reality, and has sparked public
interest as evidenced by the Materials Genome Initiative. The past 3 years
have seen innovations in strategies and techniques for materials
development and discovery, however, there are still a great many challenges
to overcome. New tools for high-throughput first-principles theory have
resulted in multiple databases for theory based material properties. These
database tools have yet to be properly integrated with experimental
materials synthesis and evaluation, with theory providing guidance to the
experimentalist while experimental data provides necessary input for
improved theoretical predictions. This need is spurring new concerted
efforts between theoreticians and experimentalists to develop collaborative
models and readily accessible databases of both theoretical and
experimental results. In the process of developing new integrated
strategies, key advances have also been made in the core fields of
high-throughput theory, combinatorial materials synthesis and evaluation,
data handling, data mining, and design of experiments. This symposium will
bring together specialists and newcomers from academia, national
laboratories, and industry to present the latest advances and discuss
pressing challenges to high-throughput materials innovation.
*Topics will include:*
- Materials by design: strategies and approaches
- Integrating theory and experiment as well as theorists and
experimentalists
- Materials genome initiative
- Theory driven materials development
- High-throughput first-principles theory and computation
- Materials synthesis for high-throughput combinatorial discovery and
development
- Strategies and tools for high-throughput materials property
measurements
- Advancing materials into applications: combinatorial device
optimization and design
- Transforming data into knowledge
- Informatics, data mining, and enabling software
- Sharing materials data: web based portals and tools
- Sharing materials data: overcoming the ownership issue
- Synthesis strategies and tools for quantifying materials behavior at
interfaces
- Transforming data into knowledge and creating tools for educating the
MGI generation workforce
- Development of data formatting and measurement standards for
combinatorial studies

In fairness to all potential authors, late abstracts will not be accepted.
Submitting abstracts via the MRS website is easy and convenient. Follow the
step-by-step instructions on the template, making sure that complete
mailing address information is included for the presenting and contact
authors. After submitting your abstract, please use your seven-digit
Control ID number in all communications with MRS regarding the abstract.
Once a paper number (e.g., A3.08) is assigned, it would be helpful to have
that included as well.
