European Initiatives

ERC GATIPOR:

“Guaranteed fully adaptive algorithms with tailored inexact solvers for complex porous media flows”. The subject of this project are new approaches to porous media multiphase flows: inexact Newton-multigrid solvers, local stopping criteria, adaptivity, and a posteriori error control. The goal is to guarantee the overall simulation error and to speed-up importantly the present-day simulations. SERENA representant is M. Vohralík (grant leader), period 2015–2020.

EoCoE:

“Energy Oriented Center of Excellence” This project is coordinated by Maison de la Simulationand gathers 23 partners from 13 countries to use the tremendous potential offered by the ever-growing computing infrastructure to foster and accelerate the European transition to a reliable low carbon energy supply using HPC (High Performance Computing). SERENA representant M. Kern, period 2015–2018.

• Program: ITEA 3

• Project acronym: OPENCPS

• Project title: Open cyber-physical system model-driven certified development

• Duration: Dec 2015–Dec 2018

• Abstract: Cyber-physical systems put increasing demands on reliability, usability, and flexibility while, at the same time, lead time and cost efficiency are essential for industry competitiveness. Tools and environments for model-based development of cyber-physical systems are becoming increasingly complex and critical for the industry: tool interoperability, vendor lock-ins, and tool life-cycle support are some of the challenges. The project focuses on interoperability between the standards Modelica/UML/FMI, improved execution speed of (co-)simulation, and certified code generation.
