The objective of this workshop is to bring together international experts in engineering, mathematics, and physics to have an open discussion on the possibility of multiscale modeling for engineering applications, and the potential and shortcomings of existing mathematical and physical approaches for solving such problems. A set of talented graduate students will be invited to these deliberations by open competition. The workshop will be held over three days in the latter half of September, 2011. Fifteen international experts will be invited to give lectures and participate in a panel discussion. A student poster session will be held for which fifteen students will be selected. In addition, ten other technical participants will be invited in the audience. Lecturers and student participants will be provided partial financial assistance. A Workshop reception and a banquet are planned as social events.The societal benefit of the proposed workshop lies in the fact that it is driven by core engineering-application-needs, but intends to involve pre-eminent mathematicians and physicists in a dialog with engineers to foster a three-way cross fertilization of ideas and practical methodology to address perhaps the most important problem of modern science and technology. The workshop is expected to produce a basis for understanding and evaluating multiscale modeling methodology that can serve as a common inter-disciplinary standard for the future and lead to strong collaborations between engineers, mathematicians, and physicists. Education of students in a non-standard but meaningful and prestigious format will take place.

本次研讨会的目的是聚集工程、数学和物理学领域的国际专家，就工程应用多尺度建模的可能性以及解决此类问题的现有数学和物理方法的潜力和缺点进行公开讨论。一批有才华的研究生将通过公开竞争被邀请参加这些审议。研讨会将于2011年9月下旬举行，为期三天，将邀请15名国际专家进行讲座并参加小组讨论。将举行学生海报会议，将选出 15 名学生。此外，观众中还将邀请其他十位技术参与者。讲师和学生参与者将获得部分经济援助。研讨会招待会和宴会被计划为社交活动。拟议研讨会的社会效益在于，它是由核心工程应用需求驱动的，但旨在让杰出的数学家和物理学家与工程师进行对话促进思想和实践方法的三向交叉融合，以解决现代科学技术中最重要的问题。该研讨会预计将为理解和评估多尺度建模方法奠定基础，该方法可以作为未来的通用跨学科标准，并促进工程师、数学家和物理学家之间的强有力合作。将以非标准但有意义且享有盛誉的形式对学生进行教育。
