PhD Course in Non-rigid Modeling and Simulation
Location and Date: Copenhagen, Denmark, November 8-10, 2010
The focus is on computational and mathematical aspects of non-rigid modeling in interactive physics simulation. The targeted audience is PhD students in Science (mainly eScience, Computer Science, IT and Physics) working with computational and mathematical modeling and simulation. The scope is to show the audience how a modeling process takes on from a physical problem to a discrete method suitable for computations. Advanced applications and perspective of the topics is given with weight on latest developments and research results taking outset in the invited lectures.
