Dear Colleagues,

During the last decades material modelling has become a field of central

scientific importance. Although there exist many workshops, meetings,

colloquia, etc. on specific materials, and particular applications, here a

single conference dedicated to material modelling with all its various

facets is intended. To this end, the aim of the ICMM conference is to bring

together researchers from the various fields of material modelling and

materials characterization. The intention here is to cover essentially all
