Simulation, Optimization, and Systems

At Autodesk Research, the goal of our simulation, optimization, and systems (SOS) research is to radically increase and diversify the use of computer simulation, mathematical optimization, and systems modeling in the design, make, and use of things. With a toolbox that includes physics solvers, sensor networks, and state-of-the-art algorithms, we build the foundations of new technology that will help designers improve both the systems on which people depend, and the built environments in which people live and work.

The Simulation, Optimization, and Systems team collaborates with leading academic and industry partners to publish in top-tier publications such as JCISE and JMD, and conferences such as SIGGRAPH.
