To provide procedures for verification, validation, and uncertainty quantification in modeling and computational simulation for advanced manufacturing.* *Advanced Manufacturing, as defined in the PCAST report: “Advanced manufacturing is a family of activities that (a) depend on the use and coordination of information, automation, computation, software, sensing, and networking, and/or (b) make use of cutting edge materials and emerging capabilities enabled by the physical and biological sciences, for example nanotechnology, chemistry, and biology. It involves both new ways to manufacture existing products, and the manufacture of new products emerging from new advanced technologies.” —President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology Report to the President on Ensuring American Leadership in Advanced Manufacturing
