AIMS & SCOPE

The main aim of the wokshop is to gather the two communities of researchers from Meshless methods and Inverse problems in science & engineering from all over the world. It is expected to provide a common forum for presenting new challenges, different applications and solution strategy concepts in current interdisciplinary sciences.

The workshop thus offers a unique international platform that should provide an excellent basis for cross-fertilization of ideas and creation of new synergistic approaches and methodologies that will combine the two fields of research so that more general, robust, accurate and computationally economical design methods are created for multi-disciplinary applications.

The focus will be on:

- Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin Methods,
- Mesh-reduction Methods,
- Boundary Element Methods,
- Boundary Node and Hybrid Boundary Node Methods,
- Modern and Novel Computational Techniques,
- Meshless Multi-scale and Mutli-physics Computational Methods,
- Element Free Galerkin Methods,
- Local Boundary Integral Equations,
- Radial Basis Function Methods,
- Methods of Fundamental Solutions,
- Trefftz Methods,
- SPH,
- Wavlets Methods,
- Levelsets Methods,
- Nonlinear problems, Solution of Nonlinear Algebraic Equations (NAEs),
- Fictitious Time Integration, & Homotopy Methods for NAEs,
- Theory of inverse problems,
- Theory of ill-posed problems,
- Numerical analysis and modeling in inverse and ill-posed problems,
- Applications of inverse and ill-posed problems,

Papers are invited on the whole spactra of meshless methods, also those not explicitly mentioned above. Open questions are to be highlighted in panel discussions.

The objective of the conference is to enhance the interaction between scientists, engineers, academic and industrial research in the related computational mechanics field.
