[Imsa-hpc-list] Computational Design of Green Technologies

Computational Design of Green Technologies

Not long ago Boeing Aircraft decided that it might be cheaper to undertake
computational design of aircrafts than to actually go through the old
established scientific experimental approach of Built test, correct-
rebuild test and then enlarge, and repeat.

The development of Green Technologies seem to occur stop and go motions,
for reasons that include high cost of development and the myriad
publications that can not be readily experimentally reviewed for
validation. Yet admittedly changes of designs can be easier implemented in
a computational design than a physical design. Hence, perhaps in
consideration of the huge costs of supporting research work on Green
Process Technologies, the development of Green technologies may sooner than
later also follow the same path as Boeing Aircraft took for its last major
design project.

In our workshop, Computational Objects Nesting Programming at

we have started to encourage that track of reasoning and approach to design
of Biological Systems. The fact is, that approach - we reason - allows for
the centralizing of all interactions between the component parts and hence
for more effective reckoning.

Dedicated scientists and engineers perhaps should also consider this path
as a growth path and get training along this thinking.
