Introduction to the ICCS 2007 Workshop on Dynamic Data Driven Applications Systems.

This is the 5th International Workshop on Dynamic Data Driven Applications Systems (DDDAS), organized in conjunction with ICCS. The DDDAS concept entails the ability to dynamically incorporate data into an executing application simulation, and in reverse, the ability of applications to dynamically steer measurement processes. Such dynamic data inputs can be acquired in real-time on-line or they can be archival data. DDDAS is leading to new capabilities by improving applications modeling and systems management methods, augmenting the analysis and prediction capabilities of simulations, improving the efficiency of simulations and the effectiveness of measurement systems. The scope of the present workshop provides examples of research and technology advances enabled through DDDAS and driven by DDDAS. The papers presented in this workshop represent ongoing multidisciplinary research efforts by an international set of researchers from academe, industry, national and research laboratories.
