International Workshop on Mathematical Modeling and Scientific Computing: Focus on complex processes and systems (dedicated to the memory of Nikolai Botkin)

The 4th International Workshop on Mathematical Modeling and Scientific Computing (MMSC) dedicated to the memory of Nikolai Botkin (22.03.1956-14.09.2019) will be held from September 22nd to 25th, 2026, at the Technical University of Munich. Nikolai Botkin made a significant contribution to the creation and mathematical analysis of mathematical models, the development of numerical methods and algorithms for optimal control of mechanical and biomedical systems described by ordinary and partial differential equations, as well as for elasticity theory, hydrodynamics, thermodynamics, and homogenization theory. The first (November 19-20, 2020), the second (October 4-7, 2022), and the third workshops were organized by the Technical University of Munich. The proceedings of the first workshop have been published at CEUR Workshop Proceedings (http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-2783/), the second one at Journal of Physics: Conference Series (https://iopscience.iop.org/issue/1742-6596/2514/1), and the third one at EPiC Series in Computing (https://easychair.org/publications/volume/MMSC_2024/).

The objective of the event is to create an interdisciplinary workshop, which brings together international experts working on mathematical models from various fields. These fields include control theory, material science, aerospace, and biomathematics, to name a few. Despite the different applications of mathematical models, the underlying concepts related to the modeling of complex processes and systems share many common features. The same holds for the application of scientific computing methods for the numerical implementation of mathematical models. These methods nowadays constitute an integral part of the research task in applied fields. Topics such as parallel computing on high-performance computer systems and the use of shared memory architectures are vital e.g. for the solution of partial differential equations arising in various fields. Rapidly developing technologies like machine learning methods have become indispensable in data analysis. It is believed that bringing together experts from different fields will lead to new innovative ideas and create synergies between the scientific research topics.

Participation in the workshop is free of charge.

List of Topics

• Mathematical and computer modeling of physical and biological processes
• Optimization, control, and numerical methods for ODEs and PDEs
• Computer technologies and data analysis in engineering and bioinformatics
• High-performance scientific computing for physical and biomedical applications

Venue

The conference will be held in the School of Computation, Information and Technology of the Technical University of Munich in a hybrid format.

For those who wants to participate in person, we recommend booking accommodation urgently, as the conference will take place during Oktoberfest.   

Publication and Submission Guidelines

Participants whose presentations are largely devoted to scientific computing are welcome to submit papers (not mandatory) for conference proceedings in EPiC Series in Computing (indexed in Scopus, DBLP).

All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or workshop proceedings.

All workshop papers will be double peer-reviewed by two expert reviewers.

Submitted papers must be prepared in LaTeX using EasyChair style (please, see template and manuscript requirements). The regular type of papers accepted for publication is full papers (at least 6 full pages). Please note that according to the requirements of the publisher, the size of the article PDF file should not exceed 2 MB.
