Application Experiments are expected to extend the CloudFlow infrastructure and to address workflows along the value chain in and across companies. Priority will be given to innovative product development and products, such as mechatronic systems and cyber-physical systems, including, e.g., multi-domain simulation (mechanics, electronics, software, fluid dynamics, acoustics, etc.).
Why participate?
Proposers will have the opportunity:
- to investigate and gather experience on Cloud Computing options for their use case,
- to explore technical benefits, e.g. better product verification by more accurate simulation results using HPC-Cloud resources, and
- to examine Cloud-based business options and their impact.
What consortia are we looking for?
An application experiment consortium should typically have 1-4 partners out of the following type:
- End user (mandatory as "driving" partner)
- Independent software vendor
The consortium will be complemented by existing partners from the CloudFlow Competence Center to safeguard a smooth integration with the CloudFlow infrastructure.
- Vendor-independent Cloud infrastructure already containing computational engineering services for CAD and CAM, CFD, PLM and systems simulation provided by partners (Missler, Numeca, Jotne and ITI), incl. a tailored HPC-Cloud infrastructure (Arctur) with a contractual environment protecting IPR (CloudFlow Competence Center).
- Methodology to describe and execute services and workflows in a Cloud environment and independent evaluation of experiments against your requirements.
- Existing experience from current experiments including consultancy on business models and participation in the I4MS ecosystem (www.i4ms.eu).
