Today scientists and engineers are commonly faced with the challenge of modelling, predicting and controlling multiscale systems which cross scientific disciplines and where several processes acting at different scales coexist and interact. Such multidisciplinary multiscale models, when simulated in three dimensions, require large scale or even extreme scale computing capabilities. Progress in science and technology is limited by our ability to solve efficiently such problems on available distributed computing infrastructures. The MAPPER project will respond to this critical need by developing computational strategies, software and services for distributed multiscale simulations across disciplines, exploiting existing and evolving European e-Infrastructure. Driven by seven challenging applications from five representative scientific domains (fusion, clinical decision making, systems biology, nano science, engineering), MAPPER will deploy a computational science environment for distributed multiscale computing on and across European e-infrastructures. By taking advantage of existing software and services, as delivered by EU and national projects, MAPPER will result in high quality components for today's e-Infrastructures. We will advance the state-of-the-art in high performance computing on European e-Infrastructures by enabling distributed execution of multiscale models. We will develop tools, software and services that allow two modes (loosely - and tightly coupled) of multiscale computing, in a user friendly and transparent way. We will integrate our applications into the MAPPER environment, and we will demonstrate their enhanced capabilities by answering one challenging scientific question related to each application. We plan to collaborate with other projects on adaptation of successful MAPPER methodologies, and will work with resource providers to develop policies facilitating the new multiscale computing paradigms.

MAPPER Summer School 2013 on Distributed Multiscale Computing
The Call for Participation and the (preliminary) agenda of the MAPPER Summer School on Distributed Multiscale Computing are published. The Summer School precedes the International Conference on Computation Science (ICCS) and the ICCS Workshop on Modeling and Computing Multiscale Systems (MCMS) to be held in Barcelona, Spain.
The school will be hosted by the Barcelona Supercomputing Center from 3rd June 2013 until 4th June 2013. It is co-organized by the MAPPER project, the ScalaLife project, the MMM@HPC project and the DRIHM project.
The school will be limited to 50 participants.
A pdf-version of the Call for Participation is also available.
