Overview
The December edition of the Machine-Interaction Ground Consortium will follow a similar format as the MAGIC May 2015 Consortium. Day one will be devoted to invited talks on modeling and simulation issues in machine ground-interaction, with a focus on: cloud computing, Fluid-Solid Interaction, uncertainty quantification, tire modeling and simulation, and trends in advanced computing. Day two will be split between the remaining invited talks and presentations/hands-on related to Chrono. Highlights: presentations related to Chrono::Vehicle and Chrono::FEA.
