Dynamic Data Driven Applications Systems
Dynamic Data Driven Applications Systems (DDDAS) is a new paradigm whereby the computation and instrumentation aspects of an application system are dynamically integrated in a feed-back control loop, in the sense that instrumentation data can be dynamically incorporated into the executing model of the application, and in reverse the executing model can control the instrumentation. Such approaches have been shown that can enable more accurate and faster modeling and analysis of the characteristics and behaviors of a system and can exploit data in intelligent ways to convert them to new capabilities, including decision support systems with the accuracy of full scale modeling, efficient data collection, management, and data mining. The DDDAS concept - and the term - was proposed by Frederica Darema for the National Science Foundation (NSF) workshop in March 2000.
There are several affiliated annual meetings and conferences, including:
- DDDAS workshop at ICCS (since 2003)
- DyDESS conference and workshop at MIT organized by Sai Ravela and Adrian Sandu
- DDDAS special session at the ACC organized by Puneet Singla and Dennis Bernstein and Sai Ravela
- DDDAS Special Session Information Fusion
- DDDAS 2016 at Hartford, the first full-fledged conference hosted and sponsored by MIT and some support from UTRC.
- DDDAS 2017 at MIT, the second conference hosted and managed by MIT.
- DDDAS 2020 Online, the third conference hosted by MIT.
- DDDAS 2022 at MIT, the fourth conference hosted by MIT together with CLEPS22.
As time progressed, it was suggested by Dr. Ravela that DDDAS grow into its own conference, adding workshops to special subjects. The first full-fledged but environmentally-focussed DDDAS conference was DyDESS, held at MIT, and the community has since not looked back. MIT sponsored and setup the DyDESS conference, and continues to be the host and event organizer through its Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences department.
