Material behavior is often determined by phenomena  at many different length and time scales. A deep understanding  is often reached by studying first the phenomena at each  individual scale, and then how they interact. Scale separation is at the same time a useful tool to devise efficient numerical methods.

Recently the applied mathematics community has developed a number of rigorous schemes to capture the influence of fine-scale structure on the next coarser scale. At the same time a number of both heuristic and theory-inspired
numerical approaches have been proposed. This Symposium will review both
recent theoretical progress and applications to concrete problems, which
include the following:

• Magnetic materials, including magnetic shape-memory alloys
• Phase transformations in solids and liquids
• Dislocations and plasticity of crystals
• Large quantum systems (Bose-Einstein condensation, Density-Functional theory)
• Atomistic/continuum coupling methods, including quasicontinuum and
• finite-temperature methods.

Joint sessions are planed with symposia Microstructure Modeling and Micromechanics?
