2012 CHALLENGE WORKSHOP
MSO Tools 2012
The second Challenge Workshop focused on tools for Modeling, Simulation and Optimization (MSO). It took place at the Institute für Mathematik (TU Berlin) on September 24-26, 2016.

Organizers
- Volker Mehrmann (TU Berlin)
- Andreas Steinbrecher (TU Berlin)
- Supported by ERC Research Project „Modeling, Simulation and Control of Multi-Physics Systems“
Challenges
Working with multi-physics systems involves several interconnected challenges. First, creating accurate virtual and automated models is difficult because it requires integrating different physical processes that often behave in complex and interacting ways. This complexity carries over to simulations, where capturing these interactions precisely is crucial for reliable results. Optimization becomes even more challenging as it must balance multiple, sometimes conflicting factors across different physics. Coupling substructures adds another layer of difficulty, since each part may respond differently and affect the system as a whole. Throughout all these stages, managing uncertainty is essential because variations in data or model parameters can impact every step, from modeling to optimization. These challenges are closely linked, making it necessary to develop comprehensive approaches to handle multi-physics systems effectively.
