Book of Abstracts of MASCOT2018

MASCOT 2018 is the 15th edition of the IMACS/ISGG workshop focused on methods and tools for the complete cycle of numerical modelling and simulation, from the development of theoretically well based models and methods to the deep investigation of crucial applications, from geometry and model construction to its implementation, from data analysis and powerful design of computational tools, with advanced capabilities. Aim of the workshop is the presentation and discussion of innovative technologies dealing with all aspects of computational processes. We recall, but without limiting to them, methodologies for effective grid generation, advanced approximation methods, identification and application of efficient PDE numerical solution algorithms, the development of powerful tools for image processing and scientific visualization. The workshop would bring together developers and users of computational methods and software tools to go deeper into advantages of new methodologies, discuss applications and results, illustrate educational approaches, identify new needs and innovative development directions in a growing variety of problems in applied mathematics.
