International Conference on Modeling and Simulation

研究人员和他们的同事提议组织一次国际建模与仿真会议，该会议将于2008年7月9日至12日在中国陕西省西安市西安交通大学举行。在过去的二十年中，计算机能力的快速发展和复杂的计算方法使得高性能计算能够以前所未有的精度和范围应用于各种重要问题的模拟和建模。这些应用在数学、科学、工程和工业方面都有深远的影响和应用。科学计算实际上是分析许多不同类型的关键重要现象的唯一可行工具，如流动和运输、天气预报、波传播、新材料设计、计算化学、基因组测序和分析。会议将邀请来自美国和欧洲在这些活跃领域工作的杰出研究人员到亚洲，以加强和促进不同领域的专家之间的接触和对话，以处理建模和仿真，以便发现新概念，新方法可以表达他们的力量。在过去的四分之一个世纪里，随着远东国家经济的快速发展和进步，特别是中国的惊人增长，美国和亚洲（也包括欧洲和亚洲）的研究人员在所有科学研究领域的合作不断增加。这种现象和趋势是最近在数学科学中发生的事情（多亏了NSF的努力和倡议）的清晰例证。这些跨大陆的研究合作已经在许多科学研究领域产生了巨大的影响，最显著的是在生物科学中的人类基因组测序计划和在数学科学中的庞加莱猜想的证明。提议的会议将有助于促进、加强和刺激这种跨大陆的数学科学研究互动和合作，更具体地说，是在应用和计算数学方面。

The investigators and their colleagues propose to organize anInternational Conference on Modeling and Simulation, which will beheld from July 9-12, 2008 in Xi'an Jiaotong University, Xi'an, ShaanxiProvince, China. In the last two decades, the rapid development ofcomputer power and sophisticated computational methodology haspermitted the application of high performance computing to simulationand modeling of unprecedented accuracy and scope applied to a widerange of important problems. These applications have had profoundimplications and applications in mathematics, science, engineering andindustry. Scientific computing is in fact the only feasible tool foranalyzing many different types of critical important phenomena such asflow and transport, weather prediction, wave propagation, novelmaterial design, computational chemistry, genome sequencing andanalysis. The proposed conference will bring prominent researchersfrom U.S. and Europe working in these active areas to Asia, as toenhance and facilitate contacts and dialogs between specialists ofdifferent fields dealing with modeling and simulation so that newconcepts can be discovered and new methodologies can express theirpower.In the past quarter of a century, along with rapid economicaldevelopments and advancements in the Far East Asian countries,particularly the phenomenal growth in China, there has been everincreasing collaborations between U.S.- and Asia-based (also betweenEurope- and Asia-based) researchers in all fields of scientificresearch. Such a phenomenon and trend is clearly exemplified by whathas taken place in mathematical sciences latterly (thanks to theeffort and initiatives of the NSF). These cross-continental researchcollaborations have already made a large impact on many fields ofscientific research, most noticeably, on the human genome sequencingproject in biological sciences and on the proof of the PoincareConjecture in mathematical sciences. The proposed conference will bea contribution to promoting, enhancing, and stimulating suchcross-continental research interactions and collaborations inmathematical sciences, more specifically, in applied and computationalmathematics,
