Simulation of Multiphysics Multiscale Systems

4th International Workshop
In conjunction with the International Conference on Computational Science
http://www.science.uva.nl/~valeria/multiphysics2007/
May 27-30, 2007
Beijing, China

Introduction

Simulation of multiphysics and multiscale systems poses a grand challenge to computational science. Most of the real-life systems, vital for industrial applications and academic research, involve interactions amongst a wide range of physical phenomena. In addition to that, the time and length scales of the individual processes involved often differ by orders of magnitude. Numerical simulation of these multiphysics and multiscale problems requires development of sophisticated models and methods for their integration, as well as efficient numerical algorithms and advanced computational techniques.
This workshop, being a follow-up to the highly successful events held at ICCS-2006 in Reading, UK, ICCS-2005 in Atlanta, USA and ICCS-2004 in Krakow, Poland, aims to bring together computational physicists, numerical specialists and computational scientists to push forward this challenging multidisciplinary research field.

Papers

Accepted papers will be published in the ICCS proceedings in Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. A selected number of papers will be published in the special issue of the International Journal for Multiscale Computational Engineering after the conference.
