VIMMP project (H2020 GA 760907) workshop Virtual Materials Market Place

 

Chairs: Dr. Welchy Leite Cavalcanti and Dr. Michael Hoffmann, Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Technology and Advanced Materials (IFAM), Germany.

Description: VIMMP is a user-friendly digital marketplace that provides effective use of materials modelling by a wide range of stakeholders facilitating an accelerated speed of development and mar-ket deployment of new materials. VIMMP is a true “two sided” marketplace that promotes exchange between providers and consumers of products and services. The target is to promote easily access to state-of-the-art Soft Matter Simulation Tools for novel product developments. A remarkable compo-nent of VIMMP is the translation router for connecting users to experts so called translators. With the guidance of the translators VIMMP will facilitate the translation of a scientific problem into modelling workflows ready for simulation using a range of software tools and VIMMP components. Among the main achievements of project are the VIMMP ontologies, the development of translation router ontol-ogy driven, collection of stakeholders feedback for the business plan, data storage architecture of VIMMP including search and metadata ingest. Within VIMMP project the Industrial relevance and requirements based on real life user cases is ensured via one SME and two large manufacturing companies test cases representing four industrial sectors:

 

  1. Emulsions - food emulsions
  2. Complex/structured fluids - personal care liquid
  3. Polymer composites – tire compounds
  4. Corrosion inhibitors - Polymer corrosion inhibitors in metalworking fluids and paints & coatings

 

This workshop aims to present and provide a discussion regarding elements and components to be present in open Marketplaces as VIMMP to facilitate innovation in materials manufacturing in-dustries (large and SME) and to contribute to the growth related to the Digital Single Market. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation pro-gramme under grant agreement No 760907.

VIMMP invites authors from academia and industry to submit high-quality papers on topics which include, but are not limited to:

  • Ontologies and Metadata
  • Interoperability among marketplaces
  • Open simulation platforms
  • Translation cases (translation from a scientific materials challenge into a solution by applying materials modelling)
  • Materials modelling (electronic, atomistic, mesoscopic and continuum)
  • Use case solutions benefiting from material modelling for different industrial sectors.
  • Multiscale models
