Abstract Solicitation
The organizing committee is interested in fostering discussion on AtC coupling methods. Hence, we are soliciting abstracts for a total of eight one hour talks spread over two days. We are interested in survey talks and/or presentations on novel approaches that stimulate discussion. The abstracts need to address one or more of the following questions:

1. What are the pros and cons of the existing AtC coupling methods?
2. What are the fundamental mechanical distinctions between atomistic and continuum models and their impact upon AtC coupling methods?
3. What are the mechanical relationships that must hold for any AtC coupling method? What is the synthesis with a mathematical theory for AtC coupling methods?
4. Can we quantify the approximation made by any numerical scheme for AtCcoupling? What are the mathematical abstractions needed for such a quantification?
5. What example problems and simulations best illustrate the underlying mathematical and mechanical issues?
6. To what extent can we leverage the existing mathematical approaches such as domain decomposition, approximation theory, and stochastic analysis for AtC methods?

The abstracts should be one hundred words or less. The deadline for submitting an abstract is Feburary 28.
