Several contributions focused on simulations and experiments of quench propagation and protection in superconducting magnets highlighting the progress of the past few years but also the opportunities of refinement for the existing modeling tools. Challenges associated with properties to be used in the model and the different scenarios to be considered for a particular system are the types of challenges that this community is looking forward to addressing and solving. A large portion of the contributions discussed issues of modeling for electromagnetic (AC losses, magnetization, field harmonics and numerical codes for magnetic field computations) and electromechanical behaviors of high temperature conductors, which are seen as the future conductors for large current and field systems. In this respect, CHATS-AS keeps up the pace with the community and continues its effort to provide solid modeling tools for existing, near future and long-term large systems.

The workshop has shown once again the continuous interest in multi-physics models, and attention to advances in computational physics with the conscious effort of maintaining simplicity in the overall approach.
