Past Themes
FY2011 ESF-JSPS Frontier Science Conference for Young Researchers
1. Conference Theme
Mathematics for Innovation: Large and Complex Systems
2. Overview
The current trend to a global economy and a knowledge society has placed information and innovation technologies, at the forefront. In almost all industries mathematics opens the way to virtual experiments, the simulation of multiple scenarios for a given phenomenon and its control and optimization. Moreover, besides its role in science and engineering, the domains of application of mathematics include social, environmental, and economic phenomena. This connection is especially strong in areas where innovation is contributing to the well being of society, such as health, security, communications, and environmental stewardship.
We aim to bring together young researchers from different mathematical research fields to create a foundation for cooperative innovation. Newest developments in areas where mathematical research in modeling, the analysis of models, the simulation, optimization and control of products and processes has a major impact will be discussed and new challenges for future research will be present.
