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

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).

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:

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.

Surprising though it may be, there exists few
3D numerical codes for the study of the physics governed by non-linear
Schroedinger-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. 40) Title: "PDEs: solutions and asymptotics" 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

E-mail: markus.neher@math.uni-karlsruhe.de
Description of the topic of the session:
Taylor models have been developed as a
symbiosis of a computer algebra method and interval arithmetic by M. Berz and
his group since the 1990s. A Taylor model of a function f on some
interval X consists of the Taylor polynomial pn of
order n of f and an interval remainder term In,
which encloses the approximation error |f-pn| on X.
In computations that involve f, the function is then replaced by pn+In.
The polynomial part is propagated by symbolic calculations, whereas the
interval remainder term encloses all truncation and roundoff errors that
appear in the computation. Software implementations of Taylor models have been
applied to a variety of problems, such as global optimization problems,
validated multidimensional integration, or the solution of ODEs and DAEs.

Description of the topic of the session:
The Minisymposium deals with one of the most important research fields of Mathematics, namely Variational Analysis and Equilibrium Problems, especially those related to network design, as traffic equilibrium problem, oligopolistic market equilibrium problem, space market equilibrium problem, financial problem, vaccination problem, Walras equilibrium problem both in the static and dynamic case. Moreover, the Minisymposium would like to contribute to the foundation to the tensorial variational inequalities and their applications. Variational analysis encompasses a large area of modern mathematics, including the classic Calculus of Variations, the Theories of Perturbation and of Approximation, Subgradient, Subderivatives, Set Convergence and Variational Inequalities. Variational Inequalities, as a particular and important chapter of Variational Analysis, have undergone great development and influence both in the progress of Variational Analysis, and in applications to Mathematical Physics and, more recently, to Engineering, Statistics, Economics, Financial Networks and Generalized Complementarity Problems. 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 hitherto unsolved problems. For this reason, particular emphasis will be given to the development of the Variational Inequalities Theory as for example the research of regularity results and their use to the computational procedure. Therefore, the Minisymposium aims to offer a review of research themes, methods and open problems together with outlines of the new research trends in all the above topics.
The Minisymposium aims at presenting state-of-the-art and current research directions in Variational Analysis and Equilibrium Problems, in particular those related to network design. Variational Inequalities proved to be a very useful and powerful tool for investigation and solution of many equilibrium type problems in Economics, Engineering, Operations Research and Mathematical Physics. In fact, Variational Inequalities for example provide a unifying framework for the study of such diverse problems as boundary value problems, price equilibrium problems and traffic network equilibrium problems. Besides, they are closely related with many general problems, such as Fixed Point, Optimization and Complementarity Problems. For this reason, particular emphasis will be given to the development of the Variational Inequalities Theory. Topics of interest include, but not limited to:

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.
