The increasing necessity to solve complex problems in science and engineering accounting for all the coupling occurring on the different scales of the problem requires the development of new ideas and methods which can effectively provide accurate numerical solutions in affordable computing times.

The objective of Coupled Problems 2007 is to present and discuss state of the art, mathematical methods, numerical methods and computational techniques for solving coupling problems of multidisciplinary character in science and engineering. Emphasis will be given on showing the potential of new computational methods for solving practical multidisciplinary problems of industrial interest.

The first edition of these series of conferences was held on 25-28 May 2005 in Santori Island, Greece and attracted some 150 participants.

The goal of COUPLED PROBLEMS 2007 is to make a step forward in the formulation and solution of real life problems with a multidisciplinary vision accounting for all the complex couplings involved in the physical description of the problem.
