Minisymposium description:
------------------------- 

This mini-symposium solicits papers on the model-based simulation of coupled problems that involve 
two-way coupling of physically heterogeneous models. Individual components may include structures, 
fluids, control, thermal and electromagnetic fields. 

The mini-symposium emphasis is on:

 * Modeling interaction effects, especially for nonmatched meshes.
 * Solution  techniques that take advantage of existing models and methods for the individual components.
 * Multiprocessor implementations.
