KI-Net Workshop at FIM, ETH-Zurich

*ABSTRACT*

In recent years there have been rapid developments in mathematical description of collective dynamics, driven by nonlinear transport equations with local and non-local means. This includes multi-scale phenomena ranging from agent-based through kinetic and hydrodynamics descriptions of models related to the emergence of coherent structures in crowd and traffic dynamics, flocking, swarming, ... The modeling, analysis and efficient computation of these phenomena are the main focus of this conference.

*GOALS*

This aim of this conference is to bring together researchers working on different aspects of transport across multiple scales and present state of art theoretical and numerical results and their interplay with current applications.

*REGISTRATION REQUESTED*

Invited participants can RSVP and provide the additional requested information about their stay, including the title and abstract of proposed talks, on the conference webpage.

Applications for participation can be made through the Online Application available on the conference webpage. Due to space limitations, these requests are subject to approval by the organizers. For full consideration, applications to participate must be submitted by Sep 30, 2016.
