The ASSESS Initiative is a broad reaching multi-industry initiative with a primary goal to facilitate a revolution of enablement that will vastly increase the availability and utility of Engineering Simulation, leading to significantly increased usage and business benefits across the full spectrum of industries, applications and users. The vision of the ASSESS Initiative is to bring together key players for guiding and influencing the software tool strategies for performing model-based analysis, simulation, and systems engineering. To achieve this vision the ASSESS Initiative will collaborate with multiple activities and organizations across the complete spectrum of Engineering Simulation.The ASSESS Initiative Membership Program is open for general membership and provides a range of benefits to the members as follows:• Access to Members Only documents, presentations, and reports on the ASSESS Theme Pages and on the ASSESS Resources Page• Access to previous ASSESS Congress presentations• Ability to participate in ASSESS related discussions & posts• $ 100 discount on the Annual ASSESS Congress Registration feeThe primary annual event for the ASSESS Initiative is the annual ASSESS Congress.
