Report on the Workshop on Atomistic to Continuum Models for Long Molecules and Thin Films

Abstract

The objective of this one-week long workshop was to bring experts from around the world together for intensive discussions addressing mathematical and computational issues arising in bridging the gaps in length and time scales between atomistic descriptions and reduced-order continuum mechanics models of scientifically and technologically important molecular systems. The conference focused on systems that have both a small and a long length scale. Examples are long stiff polymers such as DNA, and thin films of only a few atoms thickness, but with a large extent.
