The study group will follow the usual format: industrial representatives will present their current technical problems for study by mathematicians in working groups throughout the week. Problems may come from a wide variety of subject areas but particular fields of interest in Ireland are glass production, food sciences, electronics, medical devices, financial mathematics and drinks production. Full-board accommodation will be provided to all participants on campus. The University of Limerick is easily accessible with Shannon Airport just a thirty-minute taxi ride from the campus.

The choice of this topic is motivated by the belief of the organizers that the dialogue between the two communities is very necessary in order to make significant progress in making the computer a truly intelligent aid for mathematicians and engineers. Important dates: 20 April 2009 : Special sessions / Workshops / Tutorials proposals 20 May 2009 : Papers submission 15 August 2009 : Notification of acceptance 01 September 2009 : Registration 15 September 2009 : Revised paper according the reviews 26-29 September 2009 : Symposium period 30 November 2009 : Final papers for post-proceedings ------ Subject: International Workshop on Complex Systems and Networks From: "EK Weeks, Engineering Mathematics" Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2009 11:23:18 +0000 The International Workshop on Complex Systems and Networks 2009 (IWCSN09) will be the 6th International Workshop in a successful series of events organized in Bologna (2004), Hong Kong (2005), Vancouver (2006), Guilin (2007) and Canberra (2008). The aim of the workshop is to foster exchange and collaboration among researchers in the fields of multi-agent and complex systems, nonlinear dynamics, networks and coupled systems and related applications. The 2009 edition will be organized by the Bristol Centre for Complexity Sciences, a new interdisciplinary centre in Complexity funded by the UK EPSRC (Engineering and Physical Research Council). The workshop will be focussed on the problem of studying the emergence of coordinated behaviour in multi-agent systems and networks and their applications. Topics will include synchronization and control of networks of dynamical systems, coordination of behaviour in multi- agent systems, applications to biological and communication networks, epidemics and artificial intelligence. The meeting is sponsored by the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society, the Centre for Chaos and Complex Networks at the City University of Hong Kong, the EU Project PASCAL and the Bristol Centre for Complexity Sciences. On Monday 20th July 2009, a set of tutorial lectures on complex networks will be run as part of this workshop.

The main objective of the projects is to undertake the theoretical analysis of soft matter fluid flows involving deformable interfaces between different fluids and substrate-flow interactions. Such flows often encounter several challenges and complexities at the boundary between Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Engineering. The following possible projects are on offer: * "Wetting dynamics of pure and other liquids": development of a mesoscopic continuum theory for contact line motion that introduces intermolecular forces into coarse-grained equations of motion. * "Contact line motion over heterogeneous substrates": spreading dynamics over chemically/spatially heterogeneous, deterministic/random substrates. * "Complex thin-film flows": undertake the theoretical description of fluid flows with various sources of complexity. Examples include: thin films with chemical reactions, influence of chemical reactions on contact line motion and reactive flows in Hele-Shaw cells. * "Complex spatiotemporal dynamics on a falling film" with the ultimate aim to advance our understanding of interfacial turbulence: description of the process by which three-dimensional pulses drain the additional mass they acquire during inelastic coalescence events with other pulses; statistical description of the quasi-turbulent wave dynamics observed far from the inlet and development of coherent structures theory for flow down a fibre.
