Meeting on Large-Scale Computations in the Simulation of Materials

March 30 - April 1, 2000

This is a highly interdisciplinary meeting, bringing together scientists from a wide spectrum ranging from academia to industry and laboratories, and where contemporary challenges imposed by advances in industry, technology, and bio-medical sciences will be confronted with state-of-the-art mathematical and computational tools. Some of the topics covered in this meeting are:

multiscale material modeling, computer design of materials, molecular dynamics, mixtures, colloidal systems, particles in fluids, mathematical models in biology, blood flow calculations, microstructures.

The tentative list of invited speakers includes:
