The 2005 VTB Users and Developers Conference will
be held in Columbia, South Carolina on September 20-21, 2005 at the Columbia Marriott
.
The purpose of this meeting is to bring together users, developers, and sponsors of the VTB to further the purposes of creating and applying this multidisciplinary virtual prototyping environment, primarily in the areas of power sources and systems, thermal systems, power electronics, and controls. New developments in incremental virtual prototyping will be described, including hardware in the simulation loop, methods for rapid prototyping and insertion of controls into complex systems, methods for accomodating uncertainty in system specifications and simulations, and network and bus-level distributed and parallel simulation. Applications of the environment will also be described, including design and evaluation of new ship power systems, and simulation of complex interdisciplinary systems such as fuel cell power sources.Finally, hear from IDV Inc about the impending release of VTBpro.
Following the conference, on Thursday, September 22, 2005 we will offer a user training workshop open to the first 25 registrants at the very nominal price of only $30.
Proposals for presentations at the conference will be accepted until August 1, 2005 and should be submitted in the form of one-page abstracts to Hope Johnson at johnson@engr.sc.edu.
