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 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: numerical analysis, scientific computing,
modelling in mechanics, physics, biomechanics, etc. We hope the event
will give a good possibility to exchange ideas and information on
models and methods originating in various applications.
Main Topics of Modelling 2005 include:
