Join Accellera for an informative luncheon focused on the efforts and direction of the Federated Simulation Standard Proposed Working Group (FSS PWG). The luncheon will begin with an update on Accellera working group activity from Chair Lu Dai, followed by the presentation of a Distinguished Service Award to a long-time friend of Accellera.

Mark Burton, the FSS PWG Vice Chair will then discuss the intent of the PWG and what attendees can look forward to from the potential standard.  He will be joined by Yury Bayda, Principal Software Engineer at Ford Motor Company, who will discuss how a Federated Simulation standard will be beneficial to Ford. The PWG was formed in September 2023 to identify industry interest in developing a standardized communication interface to enable interoperability of virtual modeling, simulation, and integration throughout the product lifecycle. The intent of this communication standard is to facilitate the creation of a distributed and orchestrated (“federated”) multi-domain simulation framework, compatible with and complementary to existing approaches used in different industries and sectors. We hope you’ll join us!
