Second International Workshop on Model Reduction (WG 2)
[ back to 'events' ]



When and Where
Organized by the Macsinet Working Group “ Coupled Problems and Model Reduction” at the MOX - Modeling and Scientific Computing Center at the Polictecnico di Milano (Italy) on  12-13 December 2002.
 

Introduction:
Model reduction is a topic which receives growing attention, both in the mathematics community and in various application areas. In electronics, for example, reduced models are used to capture the behavior of complicated interconnected systems in the form of a small electronic circuit. This `artificial' small circuit can be coupled with an existing circuit and co-simulated with it, so as to obtain a better description of the system consisting of the circuit and its interconnects. Similar approaches are used in other areas, the common denominator being the mathematical techniques for model reduction, both on the algebraic and operator level, e.g., cardiovascular, electromagnetic, enviroment, uid-dynamics and naval, applications. With regard to model reduction carried out on the operator level, it is intended the coupling among di erential models characterized by different complexity. For example, in cardiovascular applications, one can use the Navier-Stokes equations to model the local behavior of a part of the circulation system, and ordinary differential equations to model the remaining parts, or in microelectronics applied to the simulation of semiconductor devices, one can use the hydrodynamic model where the most relevant transport phenomena occurr and the drift-diffusion model in the other parts of the device. This topic was not covered on the first workshop on Model Reduction, held in Eindhoven in October 2001. Since model reduction on the operator level is a relatively new and growing area, we have decided to dedicate the second workshop of our Working Group to the theme of Model Reduction.


Programme of the workshop

The workshop will be held at the MOX - Modeling and Scientifc Computing center, at the Politecnico di Milano, with local organizer Prof. Alfo Quarteroni. For the purpose of reserving sufficient time for discussions among the members of the Working Group, the workshop will span 2 days. The proposed date has been fixed to December 12-13, 2002. Renowned experts in the field of model reduction will present lectures on the state of the art of the field. We intend to invite the following speakers, yet to be contacted, and their list is preliminary and non complete.
