Chalmers
Gothenburg University

Granular media and biological modelling are two new interesting applications of kinetic theory. This meeting will bring together specialists in these fields with mathematicians specialised in kinetic theory.

The meeting will take place at
    Mathematics Centre
    Chalmers University of Technology
    Gothenburg, Sweden.

One day of the meeting will be devoted to granular media, and one to biological applications. The remaining time is open for the more traditional topics of the TMR-network Asymptotic Methods in Kinetic Theory .

Scientific Committee:

A Arnold, C Bardos, N Ben Abdallah, A Majorana, H Neunzert, M Pulvirenti, J Soler, B Wennberg

Some practical information

An electronic Proceedings

I will try to make an electronical "proceedings" for the meeting. With this I mean that in connection with the list of titles and abstracts, I will also make links to papers (preprints) that may be available. Hence I would like to ask any one of the speakes who wants to be in this abstract, to either send a postscript file of the paper, or a web adress to some other preprint archive where the paper may be found. Please note that this is not a real book of proceedings: no paper version will be printed, and there will be no kind of referee procedure. It is only to make the subjects of the meeting easily available. I would like to ask you to send the postscript file or html-address to wennberg@math.chalmers.se
The papers so far submitted are available at the "list of titles page"
