SUMMARY:Affiliate Status Seminar - Abstraction and Composition in Modeling 
 and Simulation
DESCRIPTION:Abstraction and Composition in Modeling and Simulation\nJames F
 airbanks\, PhD\nAssistant Professor\nDepartment of Computer &amp\; Informa
 tion Science &amp\; Engineering\nUniversity of Florida\nAbstract\nScientif
 ic modeling software is especially complex because it is high-performance 
 software that does sophisticated mathematics. This software complexity slo
 ws progress in science and engineering. In order to address these problems
  with automation\, we need new ways of handling mathematics in software.\n
 I will present some recent work on applying categories of diagrams for spe
 cifying multiphysics models for PDE-based simulations. This includes a gra
 phical formalism inspired by the graphical approach to physics pioneered b
 y the physicist Enzo Tonti. We will discuss this formalism based on catego
 ry-theoretic diagrams and some applications to heat and fluid dynamics. Th
 is formalism supports automatic construction of physics simulations based 
 on the Discrete Exterior Calculus (DEC) and I will show some results with 
 the Decapodes.jl software system.\nRelevant Paper: https://www.aimspress.c
 om/article/doi/10.3934/mine.2023036\nBiography\nJames Fairbanks is an Assi
 stant Professor in Computer and Information Science and Engineering at the
  University of Florida. He studies mathematical modeling and scientific co
 mputing through the lens of abstract algebra and combinatorics and leads t
 he AlgebraicJulia.org project. He has won both the DARPA Young Faculty and
  Director’s awards supporting his work on applied category theory and sc
 ientific computing. Prior to joining UF\, Dr. Fairbanks was a Senior Resea
 rch Engineer at the Georgia Tech Research Institute\, where he ran a portf
 olio of DARPA and ONR sponsored research programs. He earned his Ph.D. at 
 the Georgia Institute of Technology in Computational Science and Engineeri
 ng\, where he studied mathematical and computational techniques for the an
 alysis of complex systems.\nMAE Faculty Host: Warren Dixon
