> Northwest Consortium for Multiscale Mathematics and Applications Invites
> Contributors and Attendees to the workshop on
> Multiscale Modeling of Materials: Mathematics and Computation
> May 25-30, 2006 University of Puget Sound, Tacoma, WA
>
> This is the first in the series of training workshops and summer
> education courses that are planned for 2006-2009.
>
> Participation by graduate students and postdoctoral fellows is strongly
> encouraged.
>
> The goals of the workshop are:
> * To inform and educate different communities about achievements of
> others in the area of multiscale modeling of materials.
> * To create synergy between engineers, scientists and mathematicians and
> bring their unified intellectual powers to bear on multiscale problems
> in materials.
>
> The first step in this endeavor is to define critical problems and map
> the strategies for solving them through these workshops and training
> sessions.
>
> The participants will bring the expertise different fields of knowledge,
> exchange information, define problems and address a selected group of
> topics including:
> * Homogenization Methods: Analysis & Numerical Methods
> * Granular Materials & Network - Continuum Models
> * Porous Media & Multiphase Flow
> * Dislocation - Plasticity Models
> * Atomistic - Continuum Models
> * Statistical Methods
>
> The structure of the May 2006 workshop will include:
> (A) Focused tutorials in selected topics designed for mutual information
> sharing and education across the different fields of expertise.
> (B) Plenary lectures delivered by the foremost experts in different
> fields.
> (C) Short seminars delivered by contributors.
> (D) Focused discussion groups.
>
> The Plenary Speakers:
> I. Aronson (Argonne), M. Asta (UC Davis), H. Garmestani (GaTech), R.
> Gilbert (U Delaware), M. Kuhn (U Portland), R. LeVeque (U Wash.), R.
> Lipton (LSU), D. McDowell (GaTech), A. Pankov (Col. William & Mary),
> M.J. Pindera, (U Virginia), R. Showalter (Oregon State U), E. Tadmore
> (Technion/U Minn), H.M. Zbib (Wash. State U)
>
> A Summer School in Multiscale Modeling will be organized in 2007 and
> 2008.
>
> The attendees and contributors at the May workshop will have an
> opportunity to contribute to the design of the Summer School curriculum
> and/or to serve as a lecturer during the summer school programs.

> Contributions: To present a seminar, please include your proposed title
> and 250-ish word abstract in the fields provided during the registration
> process. Please keep in mind that, in contrast to the regular conference
> seminars where the speaker presents own results, the purpose of these
> seminars is to: inform/inspire broader community, formulate critical
> questions, and initiate collaboration between different specialties.
