The goal of the workshop is to bring together numerical and experimental practitioners in fire dynamics, and foster discussion and exchange of knowledge about the current state of fire modeling.

The GIDAI research group at the Universidad de Cantabria is hosting and organizing the workshop, with the collaboration of the University of California at Berkeley (USA) and the University of Edinburgh (UK). GIDAI has been carrying out engineering and research projects in Fire Science and Technology for more than 15 years.

The Advanced Research Workshop on Fire Computer Modeling has the following objectives:

• To present the state of the art in the field of Fire Computer Modeling to the participants, with emphasis on recent advances and innovations.
• To address the actual trends in the field.
• To introduce the employment of Fire Computer Models, Virtual Reality and advanced techniques of High Performance Visualization.
