In this edition of the Simulation-based Science series hosted by the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) of the University of Amsterdam, Peter Coveney will give a talk on the role of simulation-based science in decision-making for healthcare, government and industry. When: 26 February 2021 | 1600-1700CET / 1500-1600GMT Where: https://uva-live.zoom.us/j/6023898922 Title: The Role of Simulation-Based…
In an article titled ‘The impact of uncertainty on predictions of the CovidSim epidemiological code’ and published by Nature Computational Science on 22 February 2021, VECMA reports on an analysis of CovidSim, the Imperial College model upon which the UK government relied in part to model various non-pharmaceutical intervention strategies, and guide its government policy…
UCL Chemistry Department is offering a fully funded studentship for three years to a highly motivated candidate to start in March 2021. The project will involve a collaboration with CBK Sci Con and is co-funded by them. The student will work on scientific applications of HemeLB, a flexible open source lattice-Boltzmann code for the simulation…
We are pleased to pre-announce the Month 30 version of the Validation, Verification, Uncertainty Quantification (VVUQ) Software Toolkit (VECMAtk) release. The Toolkit release contains various functionalities, including unit and functional tests, as well as detailed documentation and tutorials. As a refresh, the VECMAtk has been developed to enable automated VVUQ for multiscale applications that can…
We are holding the third VECMA Hackathon in the beginning of the new year! You are invited to join a VECMA Toolkit Hackathon on 19-22 January 2021. The Hackathon will allow you to interact with our VECMAtk experts, who will help you apply your choice of VECMAtk tools on your own codes and applications. As a…
VECMA is organising the 3rd Multiscale Modelling and Simulation (MMS) workshop associated with ICCS 2021 in Krakow, Poland, 16-18 Jun 2021. Modelling and simulation of multiscale systems constitutes a grand challenge in computational science, and is widely applied in fields ranging from the physical sciences and engineering to the life science and the socio-economic domain.…
VECMA is organising the 2nd Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) thematic track UNEQUIvOCAL thematic track associated with ICCS 2021 in Krakow, Poland, 16-18 Jun 2021. Further details for the 2nd Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) thematic track UNEQUIvOCAL can be found from the web address here. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: – Forward…
We are pleased to offer VECMA Jupyter Notebook for interactive tutorials and learning of the VVUQ Toolkit (VECMAtk) that has been developed from the VECMA project. VECMAtk enables automated Verification, Validation and Uncertainty Quantification (VVUQ) for complex single- and multi-scale applications that can be deployed on emerging exascale platforms as well as on local computers…
SARS-CoV2 has rapidly spread worldwide since December 2019, and early modelling work of this pandemic has assisted in identifying effective government interventions. The UK government relied in part on the CovidSim model developed by Professor Neil Ferguson’s team at the MRC Centre for Global Infectious Disease Analysis at Imperial College London, to model various non-pharmaceutical…
We are pleased to announce one of our core partners, Brunel University, has launched this project, in connection with VECMA, to maximise the accessibility of research results in the fight against COVID-19. Funds raised will be used to create an interactive COVID-19 risk assessment map which will map the spread risk in several UK…
