Second DOE Workshop on Multiscale Mathematics

July 20-22, 2004

Broomfield, Colorado
 

Overview

Physical systems encompassing a variety of strongly coupled scales are ubiquitous in science and engineering, and pose major mathematical challenges in terms of analysis, modeling, and simulation. The Office of Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) of the Department of Energy is undertaking a major new initiative aimed at addressing these challenges.

The DOE is in the process of developing a roadmap for future investments by the DOE in multiscale mathematics and is seeking input from the engineering, mathematics, and scientific communities through a series of workshops. The Second DOE Workshop on Multiscale Mathematics will be held in the Omni Interlocken Resort in Broomfield, Colorado (outside Denver) from 9:00 am July 20 through 5:00 pm July 22, 2004.

The second workshop will be organized around the development and application of mathematical approaches for investigating multiscale problems. The workshop will focus on a number of promising mathematical methods and emerging applications raising new mathematical problems. One important goal of the workshop will be to produce a report describing important challenges in multiscale mathematics and outlining strategies for the DOE investment
