Simulation of Multiphysics Multiscale Systems

4th International Workshop

in conjunction with the International Conference on Computational Science

May 27-30, 2007, Beijing, China

http://staff.science.uva.nl/~valeria/multiphysics2007/

Introduction

Simulation of multiphysics and multiscale (MPMS) 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.

Topics

Specific topics include (but are not limited to):

Modeling of multiphysics and/or multiscale systems. Of particular interest

are: Monte Carlo methods, particle-based methods, mesoscopic models such as

cellular-automata, lattice gas and lattice-Boltzmann methods, computational

fluid dynamics and computational solid mechanics;

Multiphysics and/or multiscale modeling of biological or biomedical systems.

This includes computational models of tissue- and organo-genesis, tumor growth,

blood vessels formation and interaction with the hosting tissue, biochemical

transport and signaling, biomedical simulations for surgical planning, etc.

Novel approaches to combine different models and scales in one problem solution;

Challenging applications in industry and academia, e.g. time-dependent 3D systems,

multiphase flows, fluid-structure interactions, chemical engineering, plasma

physics, material science, biophysics, automotive industry, etc.;

Advanced numerical methods for solving multiphysics multiscale problems;

New algorithms for parallel distributed computing, specific to the field.

数量与系统生物学中的物理研究的机遇与挑战讲习班将在香港举办

Croucher Advanced Study Institute

Opportunities and Challenges for Physicists in Quantitative and Systemic Biology

December 4-9, 2006

The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong

http://www.phy.cuhk.edu.hk/itp/v2/1024/asi06/

This Croucher ASI is organized by the Department of Physics and Institute

of Theoretical Physics of the Chinese University of Hong Kong and sponsored

by The Croucher Foundation.

============

BACKGROUND

============

There have been rapid developments in biology in the last 10 years or so. The

genomes of complex organisms, including the human genome, have been sequenced. This

explosion of genetic information renders quantitative methods of investigation.

Moreover, it is becoming clear that the understanding of a biological organism

lies not only in its parts, like the genes and their resulting proteins, but

more importantly in the understanding of the interaction of the parts, and

how the functional properties of the whole organism emerge from the collective

behavior of the parts that resulted from their interaction. These new developments

and emphasis are making biology a quantitative and conceptually profound

discipline and also bringing biology and physics close together.

This Croucher Advanced Study Institute (ASI) aims to expose the local physicists in

Hong Kong and in the region to these recent exciting developments and thus allow them

to seize the golden opportunities available in this new era of biology. Six leading

experts in the field are invited to present lectures on topics that offer opportunities

for the techniques and problem solving skills of physicists. Furthermore, this

Croucher ASI hopes to promote collaborative efforts among the physicists and the

biologists as such interdisciplinary efforts are highly beneficial to the

progress of this new emerging field of quantitative and systemic biology.
