Objectives

Numerical Modeling and Simulation is increasingly used as a complement to Experimental Modeling and Analysis and as a design or certification tool in engineering applications. However, after more than thirty years of worldwide research efforts around Adaptive Modeling and Simulation, the problem of properly assessing and controlling the quality of the numerical solutions is still relevant, as the design of sophisticated engineering systems requires increasingly complex and coupled modeling, which leads to increasingly time-consuming computations. Adaptive approaches, which provide reliable and cost efficient modeling and coherent coupling of different scales and mechanisms in a unique model, are more strategic and indispensable than ever.

The objective of the ADMOS 2013 conference is to provide a forum for presenting and discussing the current state-of-the-art achievements on Adaptive Modeling and Simulation, including theoretical models, numerical methods, algorithmic strategies and challenging engineering applications.

ADMOS is one of the conferences that launched the ECCOMAS series of thematic events, in 2003. It is a medium-size conference (an average of about 80 delegates), which allows for dynamic and fruitful exchanges between participants. After five successful editions, held successively in Göteborg in 2003, in Barcelona in 2005, in Göteborg in 2007, Bruxelles in 2009 and Paris in 2011, the sixth edition of ADMOS will take place at Instituto Superior Técnico, in Lisbon (Portugal).
