Multiscale modelling is an emerging modelling paradigm which combines the models of different resolution scales of a complex system to obtain a high-quality characterisation of the entire system which can be utilised to solve challenging scientific and engineering problems. This modelling paradigm is now widely regarded as a promising and powerful tool in various disciplines, including the broad area of process engineering. On the other hand, a multiscale model is usually much more difficult to develop than a single-scale model due to a range of conceptual, numerical, and software challenges to be addressed. Unfortunately, there has been very little support developed so far to facilitate multiscale modelling. Consequently, the application of multiscale modelling still remains a special privilege of highly skilled modelling experts and its success is established very much on a case-specific basis; the majority of scientists and engineers has yet to struggle with conceptual and practical difficulties, despite their high expectations on benefiting from this advanced modelling paradigm. This proposed research is intended to make a step change in the area of multiscale modelling by working towards a computer-based, generic and open supporting framework. This framework will provide comprehensive supports to the development of multiscale applications in all conceptual, numerical, and software aspects. It will be based on a unified theoretical framework of multiscale systems to maximise the generality of the solution in dealing with very diverse applications. Furthermore, it will adopt a three-stage strategy to multiscale modelling which allows to maximise the computer-based supports in conceptual modelling, model realisation, and model execution. This work will contribute to the transfer of multiscale modelling from the hand of experts to the much wider community of practising modellers. Our result will also offer a sound basis for researchers and commercial software vendors to advance theories and tools for multiscale modelling in the future.

多尺度建模是一种新兴的建模范式，它将复杂系统的不同分辨率的模型组合在一起，以获得整个系统的高质量特征，从而可以用来解决具有挑战性的科学和工程问题。这种建模范例现在被广泛认为是各种学科中一个很有前途的强大工具，包括广泛的过程工程领域。另一方面，由于要解决一系列概念、数值和软件挑战，多尺度模型通常比单尺度模型更难开发。不幸的是，到目前为止，为促进多尺度建模而开发的支持很少。因此，多尺度建模的应用仍然是高技能建模专家的特权，它的成功在很大程度上是建立在具体案例的基础上的；大多数科学家和工程师尚未在概念上和实践中遇到困难，尽管他们对受益于这一先进的建模模式抱有很高的期望。这项拟议的研究旨在通过努力建立一个基于计算机的、通用的和开放的支持框架，在多尺度建模领域做出一步的改变。该框架将在所有概念、数值和软件方面为多尺度应用程序的开发提供全面支持。它将基于多尺度系统的统一理论框架，以最大限度地提高解决方案的通用性，以处理非常多样化的应用。此外，它将采用多尺度建模的三阶段策略，以便在概念建模、模型实现和模型执行方面最大限度地利用计算机支持。这项工作将有助于将多尺度模型从专家手中转移到更广泛的实践模型师社区。我们的结果也将为研究人员和商业软件供应商在未来发展多尺度模型的理论和工具提供可靠的基础。
