Industrial success in high technology fields relies on the possibility to specifically engineer materials and products with improved performance. The crucial factor is the ability to make these material related developments timely at relatively low costs. This demands rapid progress for new processing techniques but also better understanding and control of material chemistry, processing, structure, physics, performance, durability, and their relationship. This scenario usually involves multiple length, space and time scales and multiple processing and performance stages, which are sometimes only accessible via multi-scale/multi-stage modeling or simulation. Computational modeling of materials behavior is becoming a reliable tool to underpin scientific investigations and to complement traditional theoretical and experimental approaches. Multiscale materials modeling approaches are essential to link and to complement continuum and atomistic methods. At transitional (or microstructure) scales continuum approaches begin to break down, and atomistic methods reach inherent limitations in time and length scale. Transitional theoretical frameworks and modelling techniques are being developed to bridge the gap between scales. The main theme of the conference is to provide an international forum for the advances of multiscale modeling methodologies and for their applications in rapid process, material and product developments.
Scientific Program
Plenary talks, invited lectures, contributed talks and posters will be featured during the five-day conference. Three parallel sessions will be organized for nine symposia. A conference dinner will be held. A book of abstracts and the conference proceedings will be available at the beginning of the conference.
Call for Papers
Contributions from engineers, scientists and other experts from institutes and industry working in the field of multiscale materials modeling are invited. Abstracts for conference contributions can be submitted after pre-registration on the MMM2006-Webpage.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
