Integrated Computational Materials Engineering
		(ICME) is a discipline that aims to integrate computational materials science
		tools into a holistic system that can accelerate materials development,
		transform the engineering design optimization process, and unify design and
		manufacturing. The notion of ICME arose from the simulation-based design
		paradigm that employs a hierarchical multiscale modeling methodology for
		optimizing load-bearing structures. This approach includes performing
		experiments and simulations at different length scales and linking this data to
		determine structure-properties relationships.
		
		ICME continues to evolve, its revolutionary vision progressively adapting to
		assimilate advances in information technology, multiscale simulation
		technology, and the underlying sciences of engineering (i.e., applied
		mathematics, physics of materials, and different length scales).
		
		This website was developed as a resource for the ICME community. Users and
		developers are encouraged to contribute content (i.e., web data, models, codes,
		and examples) pertaining to computational materials engineering by contacting
