Session M2A1 - Digital Prototyping & Simulation vs. Physical Test & Measurement: Managing the Tradeoffs
While some envision wholly digital product validation, many believe digital and physical prototyping are both necessary and, properly managed, can each bring greater value to the other. This session will explore balancing the tradeoffs between the two technologies, coordinating and managing the resulting processes and data streams, and bridging the organizational and cultural gaps. How these challenges are being met—successes, pitfalls and workarounds—will be explored.

Session T2A1 - Colloquium: NVH Simulation: Advances & Futures
Aspects that have long been considered subjective in the NVH domain-cornering confidence, the sound of a car door closing, how a powerful engine should sound--are becoming increasingly addressable by objective measurement and simulation techniques and methodologies. In this colloquium, leading NVH experts from manufacturing industry will describe how this is being achieved, and the latest technological advances.

Session M2A2 - Tying It Together: Creating Interoperation, Data Sharing, Process & Data Management
Interoperability barriers-both CAD-to-CAE and CAE-to-CAE-are a major bottleneck in product development, while a related stumbling block is the shortage of data management and process management tools for digital prototyping and simulation. This session will explore how manufacturers are successfully tying together the many systems and applications related to digital and physical prototyping, and managing the resulting data and processes.

Session T2A2 - Roundtable Workshop: Hardware Matters—Justifying High-Performance Computer Investments
Increasingly powerful hardware is enabling server and even desktop execution of complex simulations that once required a supercomputer. But high-performance computers remain expensive, and increasingly capable simulation software will continue to require the highest-performance hardware affordable. This session will explore strategies for quantifying the cost-benefit of high-performance computers, identifying optimum architectures and computing environments, and avoiding pitfalls in making large hardware purchases.

Panelists
Dr. Srinivas Kodiyalam Manager, CAE/MDO Applications SGI	Ed Turkel Group Manager, Engineering, Geosciences & HPTC Tools, High Performance Technical Computing Hewlett-Packard	Himanshu Misra Business Manager, Automotive & Aerospace Cray, Inc.

Session T2A3 - Rountable Workshop: Optimizing Physical Test Using Simulation
This session will explore methods for obtaining the greatest value by using digital prototyping and simulation to achieve better results and greater value from physical test and measurement. Issues to be addressed include design of experiments, optimizing test-facility planning and scheduling for efficient, cost effective operations, best practices for eliminating redundancy in test facilities, accelerating life testing, and related issues.

Session M2P1 - Supplier Collaboration through Digital Prototyping: Conflict vs. Opportunity
Suppliers under intense price pressure from OEMs are nevertheless being asked to provide increasing engineering content and take responsibility for more and more of the total product. Key to letting suppliers become more deeply involved in OEMs' product development efforts is digital prototyping, at both the component and system level. But issues of trust, security, confidentiality and safeguarding intellectual property-for both sides-remain. A crossfire panel of suppliers and OEMs will constructively exchange views on safely sharing sensitive information, managing data and work flows, managing the cost of supporting multiple systems, and what technologies and processes are most effective.
