We are organizing a symposium entitled "Computational Methods for Spatio-temporal Scale-bridging: from Atomistics to Mesoscale " at the TMS 2016 Meeting held in Nashville from February 14th to 18th 2016.
This new symposium aims at providing a forum for the computational materials science community to discuss different challenges pertaining to multiscale materials modeling and scale-bridging, with an emphasis on bridging atomistics with the mesoscale. We welcome contributions addressing the development of novel techniques, the application of these techniques to materials research problems, or the discussion of relevant computational aspects.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
1. Bridging timescales: such as Accelerated Molecular Dynamics, Adaptive Kinetic Monte Carlo, acceleration techniques for ab initio MD and methods for computational kinetics
2. Bridging lengthscales: such as Atomistic/continuum coupling, Quasi-continuum methods, large-scale/linear-scaling DFT and tight-binding, and adaptive resolution methods
3. Bridging physics: approaches involving concurrent/sequential multi-physics coupling, frameworks embedding different scale physics (e.g., DFT into empirical potentials)
4. Novel strategies coupling atomistic and mesoscale approaches: such as phase-field crystals, general coarse-graining/upscaling strategies, and parameter estimation from coarse-graining.
5. Computational/algorithmic aspects of scale-bridging and benchmark studies
Please feel free to encourage your students, postdocs, and colleagues to consider submitting contributed talks for the symposium! Register online at http://www.tms.org/meetings/annual-16/AM16technicalProgramHome.aspx before July 1st 2016.
