Coupled Complex Systems and Multiple Scales, Their 
Modelling, and Applications:

This multidisciplinary event will cover diverse areas of 
science and engineering unified by the key role of coupled 
phenomena, physical fields, and effects, as well as by 
multiple-scale interactions at the local and/or entire 
system levels. The problems arising from such considerations 
are ubiquitous and often termed "coupled problems". The 
development of state-of-the-art models for such problems and 
their solutions are at the forefront of challenges of modern 
science and its applications in all areas of human 
endeavour. This symposium welcomes theoretical, 
computational, and experimental advances in this pivotal 
field, covering all aspects of these problems and the 
systems from nano to macro scales.
The models featured here will include a comprehensive range 
of areas coming from the recent progress in our better 
understanding of many physical, engineering, biological, and 
social systems. It encompasses continuum-based modelling, 
discrete simulation, and data-driven methodologies, as well 
as their efficient combinations. Among others, applications 
addressing present and imminent societal challenges, which 
embrace global sustainability, would also be welcome by the 
organizers. To address such challenges, new systematic 
efforts and momentous developments in the interdisciplinary 
field of coupled complex systems are required. This 
symposium is in honor of the diamond jubilee of one of the 
founders of this series of conferences, Professor Roderick 
Melnik, who has pioneered many advanced mathematical models 
and has significantly contributed to this field over the 
past decades.
