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.
