    Introduction

    The conference will be organized on similar lines as the preceding two successful events (Prague 1998, Pilsen 2001). Those interested may want to go through the web pages of Modelling 2001 through a link  here.

    The purpose of the Conference is to stimulate research and, in an informal setting, to foster the interaction of researchers in different fields of science. We hope the event will give a possibility to exchange ideas and information on models and methods originating in various applications.


    History of the MODELLING conferences

    The first International Conference on Mathematical Modelling and Computational Methods - MODELLING '94 was organized in Prague on the occasion of Profs Owe Axelsson's and Milos Zlamal's life jubilees in 1994. The next conference was organized as the first IMACS Conference on Mathematical Modelling and Computational Methods in Mechanics and Geodynamics - MODELLING '98 in 1998 (Prague). The last conference in the series, Second IMACS Conference on Mathematical Modelling and Computational Methods - MODELLING 2001 - took place in Pilsen. MODELLING 2005 wants to continue the series.


    Conference Venue

    The conference is to be held at the campus of the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen. Pilsen is an old, now industrial city, the capital of West Bohemia. The central part of Pilsen was founded in 1295. Information about University of West Bohemia in Pilsen may be found at

    Main Topics of Modelling 2005:
  • computational modelling in general
  • computer models in fluid dynamics and biomechanics
  • qualitative properties of nonlinear boundary value problems
  • optimal design problems and structural optimization
  • multiscale modelling
  • computer models in geomatics engineering
  • advanced numerical methods related to the above fields

  • Minisymposia
    • A minisymposium on formulation, approximation, and solution of models leading to variational inequalities will be organized by Z. Dostal (Technical University Ostrava, Czech Republic) and J. Haslinger (Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic). Contributions regarding various applications are also welcome, especially in biomechanics and engineering, including the contact shape optimization.
    • A minisymposium on the design, analysis and application of hierarchic higher-order finite element methods will be organized by P. Solin (University of Texas at El Paso, USA) and K. Segeth (Mathematical Institute, Academy od Sciences of the Czech Republic, Prague). Welcome are contributions related to optimization of higher-order hierarchic shape functions, conditioning studies, error estimates, hp-adaptivity, and other aspects of hp-FEM and its applications.
    Those willing to organize additional minisymposia are asked to contact the Organizing Committee as soon as possible. The minimum number of participants should be about five.

  • Call for Papers
    and Pre-Registration

    The Modelling 2005 Programme will include plenary lectures, short communications, minisymposia and poster sessions. Papers presented at the conference will be published in Proceedings. The peer-reviewed Proceedings of the Conference are planned to appear as a special issue of the IMACS journal Mathematics and Computers in Simulation.

    Those intending to participate or wishing to obtain further information are requested to complete the Preliminary Registration Form




    You must have JavaScript enabled in your browser to pre-register.
    If the button does not work, here's how to check.
    You should also disable your pop-up blocker if you have any.




    or contact the Organizing Committee by e-mail as soon as possible.

    Papers are invited on the topics outlined and others falling within the scope of the Conference. Those intending to present a paper should indicate this in the Preliminary Registration Form or in their e-mail.

    The pre-registration does not bind you to attend. Its primary purpose is to build a mailing list containing possible participants of the Conference. The instruction for the final registration will be given to those that would have pre-registered in the Second Announcement. The preliminary estimate of the conference fee (not including accommodation) is EUR 400. A limited number of reduced registration fees will be possible, in particular for student participants and IMACS members.


    Second Announcement

    The Second Announcement containing more details on the conference programme, and information on submission of contributed presentations, minisymposia, registration and conference fee, accommodation, social and tourist programme, as well as the travel information, will be distributed in April 2005 and will be found at this website as well.
