LSU ECE Seminar Announcement and Schedule Enabling Next Generation Adaptive and Interactive Computational Science Manish Parashar Rutgers University Abstract--Simulations are playing an increasingly important role in science and engineering and are rapidly becoming critical research modalities. Adaptive and interactive simulations can yield highly advantageous cost/accuracy ratios and can enable accurate solutions to realistic models of complex physical phenomenon. However, the phenomena being modeled by these simulations and their implementations are inherently dynamic and heterogeneous, and their large scale implementation presents many challenges. In this talk I will first describe a computational engine that enables efficient and scalable implementations of these applications. Specifically, I will address dynamic data-management, adaptive load-balancing, and interactive monitoring and control. I will then outline the challenges presented by emerging Grid-based simulations that combine computations, experiments, observations, and real-time data, and will introduce our ongoing research efforts to address these challenges.
