Integrative Computational Frameworks for Multiscale Digital Human Modeling and Simulation

Abstract

Integrated digital human modeling has seen increased interest over the last decade. We describe two efforts to develop computational frameworks for digital human modeling and describe the progress toward understanding the requirements for implementation. Both projects addressed data repository, computational environment, and visualization of results. But neither environment was a true problem-solving environment in that integration of computations with visualization capabilities was limited or absent. We detail the development of the computational environments for each effort and then provide proposals for improving the integration of the various components of a future "Digital Human" computational environment.
