Re: 2nd Yade-DEM workshop : April, 26-27 2018

 

Dear all,

The 2nd yade workshop will eventually occur on *April, 26-27 2018* !
I apologize if I previously gave the impression things were more rigid than they were, since the date itself significantly changed and the topics are also more general now (a new version of the call is attached).. I also apologize for the short notice and hope many of you will still be able to make it.

The event will be free of charge for everyone (including lunchs and one dinner). For those of you whose institutions belong to the GeoMech network (http://gdr-mege.univ-lr.fr/index.html), accommodation for the night of the workshop will also be taken care of. A one page abstract will be expected beginning 2018 in order to define the program. I'll give more details in a general announcement in few days.


See you there,

Jérôme

Dear all;


Attached is a very first draft of a possible "Call" for the workshop (not published anywhere yet). I'm sharing it here in order to have some feedback from your side on the date/venue/topics: all of those should ideally fit you, so that we can get together.


I probably won't be able to drastically change these date/venue/topics, but I could try to accommodate to some extent your suggestions/needs if any.


As a side note, and depending on the success to the call (when launched), I could try to plan some half-day session "YADE specials" gathering very technical presentations/discussions on YADE itself, or YADE-based scientific presentations at the scientific margins of the workshop.


The goal is to advertise the workshop before end of (November ?) 2017, but your inputs would be welcome much earlier than this date.


Let me know,


Jérôme

Hi there,


I 'm now in my new position (notwithstanding the used email address) in french institute Irstea. It seems my new boss is very open to the idea of such a workshop, probably including for what concerns his wallet.


I can thus push this idea further, probably with the help of Grenoble to remind me the number of participants at the 1st workshop and to give me an idea about the required credit (how much did the 1st workshop cost ?).


I guess the goal could still be next summer for now. I noticed another DEM symposium in Glasgow (UK) June 11th - June 18th 2018 (ECCM-ECFD Conferences 2018), which could serve as a first random idea for the Yade workshop dates in case we try to fit with another conference where overseas participants could also go.


As for the venue (most important), it would be in Aix en Provence, a lovely city near the French Riviera (the Cote d'Azur, along the Mediterranean).


Thoughts ?


Jerome

Hello Jérôme,
It sounds like an interesting option, thank you for suggestion.
There are many yade users at IRSTEA.
Keep in mind that organizing such things needs time to secure some funding, followed by more time to announce the event (people will hardly change their schedule if they discover it just a couple months in advance) and invite some speakers. Next summer could be a bit too early already if you'll start the position in september (congrats!). Or you'd have to be very efficient. :)
Let us know when you know more precisely what could be possible.
Cheers
Bruno

Hi,


I should start a new position in some french institute in September, and trying to organize next summer a 2d Yade workshop there was actually something I had in mind.


Since this position has not officially started and I did not discuss this idea yet with anyone from this institute (with anyone else before this email actually..) I won't give much more specifics at the moment, but would like to say I'm interested in the idea.


I personally had in mind the standalone version, though I agree combining with a greater conference would economically make sense. If the combined version should materialize, I'd propose to keep some strong YADE connection in the title (even though users from other codes may still be welcome), because that's what we are and I think there is already way enough micromechanics symposia...


Just to start the discussion...

Hello,
No, I'm not announcing the next yade workshop. :-/
Following the 1st workshop in Grenoble, we have been considering the
possibility of having a second workshop in Freiberg (Anton's place).
With Anton flying to a different sky this will not happen.

I am writing this message as a call for proposals. If some of you have
good ideas on how to make another yade meeting happen please tell!
It could be a standalone event like the first workshop, but it could
also be a parallel event or some sort of special session
before/during/after a relevant conference. Having it included in a
conf. like Particles/DEM/P&G probably needs action well before the
event (maybe 2-3 years at least) and to avoid the name "yade workshop"
(better "open source DEM" or something, and why not gathering other
DEM codes anyway?).

The idea of combining with another event is mainly to optimize travel
costs since, wherever it is,  some participants will have to travel a
long way.

The topic is now open to discussion. :)

Bruno
