Coupled Complex Systems and Multiple Scales, Their
Modelling, and Applications:
This multidisciplinary event will cover diverse areas of
science and engineering unified by the key role of coupled
phenomena, physical fields, and effects, as well as by
multiple-scale interactions at the local and/or entire
system levels. The problems arising from such considerations
are ubiquitous and often termed "coupled problems". The
development of state-of-the-art models for such problems and
their solutions are at the forefront of challenges of modern
science and its applications in all areas of human
endeavour. This symposium welcomes theoretical,
computational, and experimental advances in this pivotal
field, covering all aspects of these problems and the
systems from nano to macro scales.
The models featured here will include a comprehensive range
of areas coming from the recent progress in our better
understanding of many physical, engineering, biological, and
social systems. It encompasses continuum-based modelling,
discrete simulation, and data-driven methodologies, as well
as their efficient combinations. Among others, applications
addressing present and imminent societal challenges, which
embrace global sustainability, would also be welcome by the
organizers. To address such challenges, new systematic
efforts and momentous developments in the interdisciplinary
field of coupled complex systems are required. This
symposium is in honor of the diamond jubilee of one of the
founders of this series of conferences, Professor Roderick
Melnik, who has pioneered many advanced mathematical models
and has significantly contributed to this field over the
past decades.
