GENERAL INFORMATION

The 2004 Workshop on Coupled Problems, Processes, and Phenomena (CPPP) is embedded into the Fourth World Congress of Nonlinear Analysts (WCNA-2004) which will be held in Orlando (Florida), USA from June 30, 2004 till July 7, 2004. Past WCNAs have been held in Tampa (Florida), the Athens (Greece), and Catania (Italy).

SCOPE OF THE WORKSHOP

This workshop will concentrate on problems related to modelling, full and reduced-order approximations, control, and analysis of coupled nonlinear systems, phenomena, and processes. Many applied and engineering problems require dealing with coupled effects which are essential to a better understanding of complex systems behaviour. Appropriate tools to study such systems are based on systems of partial (deterministic and stochastic) differential equations expressing fundamental laws of physics. The workshop will focus on both physical coupling and algorithmic coupling, as well as on hybrid systems where continuous and discrete dynamics have to be treated concurrently. 

In many cases coupling requires dealing with interacting components which could be structures, fluids or solid media, while in other cases such interacting components could be given by several different fields such as mechanical and thermal, or electrical and mechanical, invoking a unification of two or more physical theories that have been considered separately before. Some such examples are provided by smart materials and structures technology based on new materials such as shape memory alloys, piezoelectrics, magneto- and electrorheological fluids, and magnetostrictive materials. 

We are interested in contributions dealing with modelling, numerical approximation, and analysis of such materials and structures. Many control systems, including those used in smart materials and structures technology, require dealing with coupled effects, and we are interested in contributions related to these issues which include control of distributed parameter systems. Papers on non-engineering applications of coupled systems (e.g., in biology, physics, and life sciences) as well as papers on the mathematical analysis of coupled systems, processes, and phenomena are equally welcome. 

CALL FOR PAPERS

Contributions to the Workshop on Coupled Problems, Processes, and Phenomena are welcome from mathematicians, scientists, and engineers to discuss new models, analysis, algorithm development, and applications of coupled systems, processes, and phenomena. The duration of each talk invited for the workshop will be 45 minutes. There will be 3 invited speakers presenting 1 hour talks.
