Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) has received international attention due to its great potential to shorten product and process development time, while lowering cost and improving outcome. Building on the great success of the 1st World Congress on Integrated Computational Materials Engineering in 2011, this 2nd World Congress on ICME will convene ICME stakeholders – including researchers, educators, and engineers – to examine topics relevant to the global advancement of ICME as an engineering discipline. This conference will provide a forum for presentations and discussions centering on both computational- and experimental-based ICME related topics, including:

• ICME in Practice, Issues with Application of ICME and Success Stories
• Designing for Performance and Production, Virtual Component Evaluation, Process Chains
• Data Storage, Standards, and Uncertainty
• Fundamental Building Blocks of ICME, Computational Methods, Advanced Experimental Techniques and Model Validation
• Education and Workforce Development for Future Growth and Application of ICME

The conference begins on Sunday night with an opening session. The technical program begins Monday morning with a plenary session and ends on Thursday morning with a panel discussion.
