Physical Modeling for Virtual Manufacturing Systems and Processes

The 1st Conference on Physical Modeling for Virtual Manufacturing Systems and Processes is the result of the International Research Training Group (IRTG) 2057 "Physical Modeling for Virtual Manufacturing Systems and Processes", funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). The IRTG began on 01 July 2014. Partner University of the University of Kaiserslautern, is the University of California, with its locations in Berkeley and Davis. At the conference the progress and the results of the first cohort of PhD students was presented. The conference was complemented by talks of international guest speakers from computer science and manufacturing engineering. The proceedings contain 22 peer-reviewed papers on Physical Modeling for Virtual Manufacturing Systems and Processes.
