Description
This book contains the proceedings of Symposium L of the International Conference on Materials for Advanced Technologies, held from the 1st to the 6th of July , 2001 in Singapore. The aim of this important meeting was to bring together researchers and engineers having very different backgrounds, and thus promote free discussion and the exchange of ideas across many interdisciplinary boundaries.
This interaction led to an enhanced understanding of both new and traditional materials, stimulated the consolidation of new concepts and methodologies for modeling material behaviors and applications and provided invaluable ideas for future work. In view of their growing importance, the proceedings concentrated especially on modeling and simulation techniques in materials science and their application at every level: quantum, atomistic and continuum.
