Conference on Multiscale Modeling with Partial Differential Equations in Computational Science and Engineering

该奖项支持参加以多尺度建模为主题的区域会议。这次会议由工业和应用数学学会(SIAM)大湖区分会组织，将于2015年5月2日在密歇根州大急流城的大谷州立大学举行。从原子尺度到宏观尺度的多尺度建模是计算科学与工程(CSE)的核心，它影响到几乎所有的现代工业以及基础科学、工程和社会科学的所有学科。为了弥合数学、统计学、计算机科学、环境科学、基础科学、工程和工业之间的沟通差距，2015年SIAM大湖区分会(GLS-SIAM)将CSE的研究人员聚集在一起，以促进对多尺度建模的高级发现和理解，同时促进CSE的培训。这次会议的特色是由CSE领域的世界领先研究人员进行的一系列主题演讲，以解决先进的多尺度模拟中当前的挑战和机遇。这次会议对在五大湖区建立CSE相关研究活动和培训具有重要影响。近年来，多尺度现象的建模和模拟引起了数学界和科学界的极大关注，对学术界和工业界的超越技术和未来产品开发产生了深远的积极影响。这些建模问题的特点是具有多个长度和时间尺度、多个现象或组件之间的相互作用、生成真正的大数据以及未知级别的不确定性。它们需要创新的方法，能够制定准确、可靠的模型，通过捕捉复杂的动态相互作用来搭建宏观-纳米-分子-原子尺度之间的桥梁，这些相互作用对于任何真实设备的模拟和设计周期的优化至关重要。然而，这一系统的多尺度框架在理论和计算方面都提出了中心的数学和科学挑战，这是成功组合各种尺度上的模型或耦合算法所需的。这次会议将为科学家提供一个论坛，交流他们在多尺度建模方面的新发现，并进一步发展研究和学生培训方面的新合作。会议网址为：http://www.gvsu.edu/siamgls2015/

This award supports participation in a regional conference on the topic of multiscale modeling. The conference is organized by the Great Lakes Section of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) and will take place at Grand Valley State University in Grand Rapids, MI on May 2, 2015. Multiscale modeling from atomistic to macro scales, which is at the core of computational science and engineering (CSE), has affected almost every modern industry and all disciplines of basic science, engineering, as well as social sciences. To bridge gaps in communication among mathematics, statistics, computer science, environmental science, basic science, engineering, and industry, the 2015 Annual Conference of the Great Lakes Section of SIAM (GLS-SIAM) brings together researchers in CSE to foster advanced discovery and understanding of multiscale modeling, while promoting training in CSE. The conference features a series of keynote talks by world-leading researchers in CSE that address current challenges and opportunities in advanced multiscale simulations. The conference has significant impact for the establishment of CSE-related research activities and training in the Great Lakes area.In recent years, modeling and simulation of multiscale phenomena have attracted enormous attention from the mathematical and scientific research communities, with profound positive impact on transcendent technologies and future product development in both academia and industry. These modeling problems are characterized by having multiple scales of length and time, interactions among multiple phenomena or components, generation of truly big data, and unknown levels of uncertainty. They require innovative approaches to be able to formulate accurate, reliable models to bridge the macro-nano-molecular-atomic scales by capturing the complex dynamic interactions that are vital to the simulation of any real device and to the optimization of design-cycle times. However, this systematic multiscale framework presents central mathematical and scientific challenges both in theory and computation required for successfully combining models or coupling algorithms across various scales. This conference shall provide a forum for scientists to communicate their new findings in multiscale modeling, and furthermore, to develop new collaboration in research and student training.
