Clifford structures play an increasing role in mathematics, physics and engineering. They are used in modelling in very different areas of science. Impressive examples can be found in quantum physics, gauge theories, theoretical physics in general but also in signal and image processing. Clifford analysis created during the last decades very useful tools for the treatment of partial differential equations, including elements of approximation theory and numerical simulations. Practical applications in engineering sciences, like the efficient description of three-dimensional movements, applications in robotics and also in classical mechanics become more and more important. The idea of the symposium is to bring together experts working in theoretical research as well as in the applied sciences who are active in one of the fields related to the application of Clifford structures. 4) Title: "Numerical methods and their applications in molecular simulation" Organizers: Prof. Dr. Eric CANCES, CERMICS, Ecole des Ponts and INRIA, 6 & 8 avenue Blaise Pascal, 77455 Marne-la-Vallee Cedex 2, France and Dr. Frederic LEGOLL, UR Navier, LAMI, Ecole des Ponts and INRIA, 6 et 8 avenue Blaise Pascal, 77455 Marne la Vallée Cedex 2, FRANCE

Description of the topic of the session:
Many problems in analysis and other
mathematical areas allow very stable numerical computations of approximate
solutions, but are lacking rigorous mathematical results about existence,
multiplicity and qualitative or quantitative properties of true solutions. In
the field of "validated computing" or "computer-assisted proofs", one exploits
the knowledge of a "good" numerical approximation to obtain rigorous and
provably correct statements about true solutions, using analytical support in
form of fixed-point formulations, variational characterizations, degree
theory, etc. Various problems from different mathematical fields, where purely
"theoretical" means had failed, have been solved by such computer-assisted
methods in recent years. In the minisymposium, we will mainly concentrate on
computer-assisted proofs for problems involving (partial) differential
equations and dynamical systems. We will invite speakers with internationally
recognized experience in developing such methods and applying them to various
problems e.g. from mathematical physics. We will also include a few speakers
working on methods for validated computations for finite dimensional problems,
since such methods often play an important role as a part of computer-assisted
proofs for differential equation problems. 14) Title: "Optimal Control, Functional Analysis and Economic Theory" Organizer: Prof. Dr. Nobusumi Sagara, Faculty of Economics, Hosei University, 4342, Aihara, Machida, Tokyo 194-0298, Japan, Tel: 81-42-783-2556; Fax: 81-42-783-2611

19) Title: "The big challenge of gravitational waves, a new window into the Universe" Organizers: Dr. Christian Corda, Editor in Chief of "The Open Astronomy Journal" of Bentham Science Publishers, Scientific Director of the Associazione, Scientifica Galileo Galilei, Via Pier Cironi 16, I-59100 Prato ITALY
E-mail:
cordac.galilei@gmail.com
Description of the topic of the session:
Recently, the data analysis of gravitational waves (GWs) detectors has been started and the scientific community aims at a first direct detection of GWs in next years. This will be a fundamental step in the ambitious project of performing a GWs astronomy. Strong and mysterious processes of the Universe, such as supernova explosions, catastrophic collisions, fusion of binary systems, rotation of pulsars, interaction of black-holes or the original big-bang generate gravitational waves. Thus, GWs are a potential way to obtain new important information on them. Such a observation will be important also for an understanding of the famous Dark Matter and Dark Energy. The aim of this Symposium is to obtain a tapestry of the present status of theory and experiments concerning GWs.
20) Title: "Numerical methods for stiff problems" Organizers: Prof. Dr. Giovanni Russo, Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Catania, Viale A. Doria 6, 55125 Catania, Italy. Tel: +39-095-7383039, fax:+39-095-330094
E-mail:
russo@dmi.unict.it
Description of the topic of the session:
The goal of the minisymposium is give an overview of recent methods for the numerical treatment of stiff problems in ordinary and partial differential equations. Stiff problems arise in many contexts, and there is a vast literature of implicit schemes that are able to capture the solution of systems of differential equations, without fully resolve the smallest time scale of the problem. When a system comes from the discretization of an evolutionary partial differential equation, new interesting probelms arise. For exmple, the stiffnes of the problem may be space dependent, and standard discretization based on a method of line appeoach may become inefficient. In many cases, the stiffness may be expressed by a small parameter. Formal asymptotic of the original equation in the stiffness parameter gives an indication of the behavior of the equation for small values of such parameter. It is important that the numerical schemes are able to capture the asymptotic behavior of the solution. This is the case, for example, of singly perturbed problems. Finally, efficiency considerations and techniques to get a good initial guess for iterative solver in the implicit step can be also addressed.
21) Title: "Modeling and Simulation in Life Sciences and Drug Development" Organizers: Dr. Gerd Rosenkranz, Scientific Officer Biostatistics/M&S, Novartis Pharma AG, Functions Scientific & Compliance Office, Forum 3-4.40, Novartis Campus, CH-4056 Basel, Phone: +41 61 324 3315, Fax: +41 61 324 1090
E-mail:
gerd.rosenkranz@novartis.com
Description of the topic of the session:
This symposium intends to exemplify the role of modeling and simulation methods in the life sciences. Like in other areas where mathematical modeling techniques are applied, the basic objective is to quantitatively formalize important aspects of a system to better understand its behaviour under changes of certain characteristics or parameters. Deterministic as well as stochastic approaches are applied in this field, and statistical models are used to obtain information from data in order to estimate relevant parameters. An aspect that goes beyond the fundamental understanding of biological processes is the practical application of modeling and simulation to the development of new medicines which will also be covered in the session.
22) Title: "Genetic Algorithms and Evolutionary Computation" Organizers: Prof. Dr. Witold Kosiński, Polish-Japanese Institute of Information Technology, ul. Koszykowa 86, 02-008 Warszawa, Poland and Dr. Stefan Kotowski, ph. +48-22-5844-513, fax:+48-22-5844-501, and Skype Id: wit.kosinski

Description of the topic of the session:
The aim of this Mini-symposium is to bring researchers, developers, practitioners, and users to present their latest research, results, and ideas in the areas of Genetic Algorithms (GA) and Evolutionary Computation (EC). After more than 40 years of development of Evolutionary Computation the theoretical background and results are rather unsatisfying. We hope that theory and successful applications will be presented at this Mini-symposium and will be of interest to researchers and practitioners who want to know about both theoretical advances and latest applied developments in Genetic Algorithms and Evolutionary Computation . As such, the Mini-Symposium will provide a forum for the exchange of ideas between theoreticians and practitioners to address the important issues. Papers related to theories, methodologies, and applications in science and technology in this theme are especially solicited. Topics covering industrial issues/applications and academic research are included, but not limited to:
23) Title: "Automated Computing" Organizers: Dr. A. Logg, Center for Biomedical Computing, Simula Research Laboratory, P.O. Box 134, 1325 Lysaker, Norway
E-mail: logg@simula.no
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).
24) Title: "Modelling Complex Microstructures: Materials Behavior below the Scale of the Representative Volume Element" Organizers: Prof. Dr. Michael Zaiser, Professor of Mechanics of Materials, The University of Edinburgh, School of Engineering, Institute for Materials and Processes, The Kings Buildings, Sanderson Building, Edinburgh EH11DT, United Kingdom and Adjunct Professor of Physics, Michigan Technological University, Physics Department, 118 Fisher Hall, 1400 Townsend Drive, Houghton (MI) 49931-1295, USA and Dr. Thomas Hochrainer, Fraunhofer Institut fuer Werkstoffmechanik IWM, Woehlerstr. 11, 79108 Freiburg, Germany and Institut fuer Zuverlaessigkeit von Bauteilen und Systemen, Universitaet Karlsruhe (TH), Kaiserstr. 12, 76131 Karlsruhe, Germany

Description of the topic of the session:
Modelling of heterogeneous materials is traditionally approached from the point of view of homogenization and effective materials properties. When approaching small system sizes, however, classical volume averaging techniques are challenged in two ways: 1. microstructural elements (e.g dislocations or polymer chains) are extended geometric objects. Averaged descriptions of the defect state therefore require advanced geometrical techniques in conjunction with statistical averaging. 2. In many situations the response of materials is controlled by fluctuations. The latter is obvious with regard to small systems common in modern micro- and nanotechnologies, where component sizes may well fall well below the scale of the 'representative volume element' (RVE) of traditional homogenization theory. Other examples include transport phenomena where collective processes may lead to fluctuations with macroscopic correlation length, or failure processes where extreme fluctuations may govern the macroscopic sample behaviour. The Symposium will gather mathematicians and researchers working in computational materials science and mechanics of materials. Covered topics include:
