E-mail: logg@simula.no
and
gnw20@cam.ac.uk Description of the topic of the session:
The writing of scientific
software is often both tedious and error-prone, leading to long development
cycles and unreliable software. To further complicate matters, development of
efficient scientific software requires specialization, both to the hardware
and the application at hand. However, manual labor may in many cases be
replaced by automated code generation, ultimately leading to automated
development of efficient scientific software. Current examples include
automated generation of libraries for signal processing (SPIRAL) and linear
algebra (FLAME, ATLAS), as well as generation of application-specific code for
the solution of partial differential equations (FEniCS).

E-mail:
cordac.galilei@gmail.com, herman@icra.it,
A.G.Polnarev@qmul.ac.uk
Description of the topic of the session:
The accelerated expansion of the Universe, which is today observed, shows that cosmological dynamics is dominated by the so-called Dark Energy field which provides a large negative pressure. This is the standard picture, in which such new ingredient is considered as a source of the right hand side of the field equations. It should be some form of non-clustered non-zero vacuum energy which, together with the clustered Dark Matter, drives the global dynamics. This is the so-called “concordance model” (ACDM) which gives, in agreement with the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR), dim Lyman Limit Systems (LLS) and type la supernovae (SNeIa) data, a good framework to understand the today observed Universe. However, it presents several shortcomings as the well known “coincidence” and “cosmological constant” problems .

15) Title: "The 2nd Symposium on Variational Inequalities and Equilibrium Problems" Organizers: Dr. Annamaria Barbagallo, Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Catania, Viale Andrea Doria 6, 95125 Catania, Italy and Dr. Maria Alessandra Ragusa, Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Catania, Viale Andrea Doria 6, 95125 Catania, ItalyE-mail: barbagallo@dmi.unict.it and maragusa@dmi.unict.it
Description of the topic of the session:
Variational Inequalities have been introduced to solve a group of nonlinear boundary value problems for partial differential equations of elliptic or parabolic type, as, for example, the Signorini problem, the obstacle problem and the elastic-plastic torsion problem. Now, they represent a very useful and powerful tool for analyzing and studying many equilibrium type problems in Economics, Engineering, Operations Research, Statistics, Financial Networks and Mathematical Physics. In particular, Variational Inequalities, for example, provide a unifying framework for the study of diverse problems as price equilibrium problems, traffic network equilibrium problems, oligopolistic market equilibrium problem, vaccination problem, migration problem and financial equilibrium problem. In additional, several classical and new theories, such as those of Evolutionary Projected Dynamical Systems and Infinite Dimensional Duality, as well as research in discretized computational methods, have received a decisive impulse in order to offer effective solutions to hither to unsolved problems. For this reason, the aim of the Minisymposium is to present the development of the Variational Inequalities Theory, as for example the research of regularity results and their use to the computational procedure, and its applications on the Equilibrium Problems, in particular those related to network design. Specifically, topics of interest include, but not limited to:

E-mail: vojpet@dmi.uns.ac.rs; vojpet@gmail.com
Description of the topic of the session:
Graph Theory is one of the major
mathematical disciplines today. Its rapid development is initiated by both
pure mathematical interest and numerous possibilities for applications
(computer science, electrical and other networks, chemistry, biology etc). The
aim of the session is to present new results in various branches of Graph
Theory including their applications.
17) Title: "Three-dimensional numerical solvers for Navier-Stokes equations, non-linear Schrödinger and Gross-Pitaevskii equations using high-order methods" Organizers: Prof. Dr. Ionut DANAILA, Laboratoire Jacques-Louis Lions, Universitι Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris 6), 175 rue du Chevaleret, 75013 Paris,France. http://www.ann.jussieu.fr/~danailaE-mail: danaila@ann.jussieu.fr
Description of the topic of the session:
Surprising though it may be, there exists few
3D numerical codes for the study of the physics governed by non-linear
Schrödinger-type equations, as the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. The latter
equation describes the dynamics and vortex equilibrium states in a
Bose-Einstein condensate, which is a very hot topic of modern physics. On the
other hand, 3D numerical codes are very frequent when dealing with Navier-Stokes
equations describing classical fluid flows.
The Symposium will bring together scientists
from different communities (mathematics, quantum physics, fluid dynamics, etc)
having experience in 3D numerical simulations of fluids or superfluids. 18) Title: "Recent Advances and Current Research on the Stochastic Finite Element Method and its Applications" Organizers: Professor Dr. Seifedine Kadry, Computer Science Departement, Chairman of Master's program, Arts Sciences and Technology University in LEBANON.

Description of the topic of the session:
The aim of this session is to discuss the latest and
advanced research of the applications, improvement and solutions of the
Stochastic Finite Element method. It is common practice for mathematical
models to be studied under the assumption that data defining the models are
precisely understood. In reality, however, this simplifying assumption is
often not valid, and there is considerable uncertainty in specification of
models. Sources of uncertainty include geological properties of transporting
media, material properties of structures, and unknown aspects of boundary
conditions.
19) Title: "Boundary value problems and integral equations with applications" Organizers: Prof. Dr. Pavel Krutitskii, Keldysh Institute for Applied Mathematics of Russian Academy of Sciences, Department 4, Miusskaya Sq. 4, Moscow 125047, RussiaE-mail: biem@mail.ru
Description of the topic of the session:
The symposium is devoted to advances in analysis of both boundary value problems and integral equations. Applications to practical problems in different fields of physics, mechanics, engineering will be discussed. Integral equation method is a constructive method for solving boundary value problems for differential equations. It enables us to obtain integral representation for a solution of a boundary value problem, to reduce the problem to the integral equation, to study asymptotic behaviour of a solution, and to suggest a computational scheme for finding a numerical solution.

E-mail: y.c.lee@leeds.ac.uk
Description of the topic of the session:
Considerable attention has been focussed recently on the modelling of micro- and nano-scale flows to provide novel solutions to many difficult engineering related problems and those observed in nature. Notably, fluid flow interactions at these small-scales can have a significant impact on the overall large-scale functional characteristics. in particular, the presence of small-scale features influence considerably the local flow phenomena where interfacial tension, viscous and free-surface effects play a major role in controlling flow behaviour. A better fundamental understanding of these properties and how they can be harnessed/controlled is essential. Their impact in relation to potential savings in resources and manufacturing cost in the industrial sector have yet to be fully realised; their use in relation to forming novel functional coatiings for applications in the process engineering, transport, environmental science and micro-electronics fields is at an early stage. The aim of the Mini-Symposium is to provide a forum, bringing together researchers, scholars and experts, to review recent advances, theoretical and computational, concerning the analysis of the fluid dynamics of micro- and nano-scale flow phenomena. The topics covered include, but are not limited to:

E-mail: zdravko.terze@fsb.hr and andreas-mueller@uni-due.de
Description of the topic of the session:
To meet new challenges,
different fields of engineering merge together, that were conventionally divided
or loosely coupled in the past. This is evident especially in the area of
multibody system (MBS) dynamics and control, a branch of computational mechanics
dealing with modelling principles and computational methods for the dynamic
analysis, simulation and control of various complex mechanical systems.
Dynamical models and time-integration procedures provide the basis for dynamic
analysis and virtual prototyping of innovative applications in mechanical
engineering such as vehicle and railway systems, aeronautics space systems,
robotic manipulators, autonomous systems, smart structures, and biomechanics
applications. In the framework of MBS dynamics, it is possible today to analyse, simulate and control complex engineering systems by utilizing advanced mathematical models in conjunction with efficient numerical simulation methods. All these tools are subject of extensive ongoing researches.
The aim of the symposium is to bring together experts working in the broad area of computational mechanics and multibody dynamics and numerical methods for control and simulation in particular.
Contributions are solicited, but not limited, on the following topics

Description of the topic of the session:
Ions and proteins always interact
and many proteins react to the ion concentrations around them. For example, some
proteins are activated by specific ions (e.g., thrombin by Na+).
Other proteins move ions across membranes; ion channels move ions passively down
their electrochemical potential gradients and pumps use ATP to move ions against
their concentration gradients. Even these proteins are regulated by ions (e.g.,
the ryanodine receptor calcium channel is both activated and inactivated by
small and large concentrations of Ca2+, respectively).

University, Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science, 1, M. Kogalnicanu str.,
400048 Cluj-Napoca, Romania E-mail: mmarian@math.ubbcluj.ro, mmarianus24@yahoo.com
Description of the topic of the session:
The approximation of functions is a huge and continuously developing domain. The scientific curiosity as well as the questions raised by more concrete topics (we mention just image processing) opened the gate of research on set-valued approximation. The set-valued approximation deals with approximation (in a metric of a hyperspace) of a set-valued function by a set-valued approximant or by a sequence of such objects. Because in this setting we have subsets instead of points (usually they are compact and convex), operations with sets instead of operations with points, and other metrics, new challenging approximation problems arise. We hope that this symposium will bring to the attention of participants new and interesting contributions on this topic.

E-mail: jenny@ifd.mavt.ethz.ch
Description of the topic of the session:
PDF methods, while attractive for many modeling tasks in various fields of science and engineering, are in particular interesting for turbulent reactive flow simulations. This is mainly due to the fact that the computed joint statistics leads to a higher level of closure than moment methods, e.g. in joint velocity-composition PDF methods no modeling is required for turbulent convection nor for averaging reaction source terms. Despite these obvious advantages, however, PDF methods are not as widely used as one may expect. This is mainly related to the relatively high computational cost and numerical difficulties of existing solution algorithms and codes. Although recent developments in the right direction show that robustness and efficiency of PDF solution methods can dramatically be improved, much more research and development is required. From a modeling view point, molecular mixing and its proper coupling with general and efficient reaction models, but e.g. also multi-phase combustion, remain major challenges.
