Scientific Overview
This workshop will be directed towards particle flows in complex topologies, either given in the form of networks and graphs, or in the form of random or quasi - periodic media. The aim of the workshop will be to bring together an interdisciplinary group of researchers in different areas such as traffic flow simulation, supply chain management and physical flows in random media. These areas share a number of common challenges and require therefore the usage of similar mathematical toolboxes. These challenges include the incorporation of the stochasticity of the flow and the topology into averaged macroscopic models via appropriate homogenization methods, the existence of intermediate regimes, consisting only of a limited number of cars, clients or particles, and the resulting need to develop hybrid modeling tools linking particle and discrete event simulation models to macroscopic fluid equations.

Application/Registration
An application/registration form is available at:
https://www.ipam.ucla.edu/elements/choose.aspx?pc=ktws3
The application part is for people requesting financial support to attend
the workshop. If you don't intend to do this, you may simply register.
We urge you to apply as early as possible. Applications received by March 16, 2009 will receive fullest consideration.
Letters of reference may be sent to the address or email address below. Successful applicants will be notified as soon as funding decisions are made.
We have funding especially to support the attendance of recent PhD's, graduate
students, and researchers in the early stages of their career; however,
mathematicians and scientists at all levels who are interested in this area
are encouraged to apply for funding. Encouraging the careers of women and
minority mathematicians and scientists is an important component of IPAM's
mission and we welcome their applications.
