ThisvolumeispublishedastheproceedingsoftheRussian-GermanAdvanced Research workshop on Computational Science and High Performance C- puting in Novosibirsk Academgorodok in September 2003. The contributions of these proceedings were provided and edited by the authors, chosen after a careful selection and reviewing. The workshop was organized by the Institute of Computational Techno- gies SB RAS (Novosibirsk, Russia) and the High Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (Stuttgart, Germany). The objective was the discussion of the latest results in computational science and to develop a close coope- tion between Russian and German specialists in the above-mentioned ?eld. The main directions of the workshop are associated with the problems of computational hydrodynamics, application of mathematical methods to the development of new generation of materials, environment protection pr- lems, development of algorithms, software and hardware support for hi- performance computation, and designing modern facilities for visualization of computational modelling results. The importance of the workshop topics was con?rmed by the partici- tion of representatives of major research organizations engaged in the so- tion of the most complex problems of mathematical modelling, development of new algorithms, programs and key elements of new information techno- gies. Among the Russian participants were researchers of the Institutes of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Institute of Com- tational Technologies, Institute of Computational Mathematics and Mat- matical Geophysics, Institute of Computational Modelling, Russian Federal Nuclear Center, All-Russian Research Institute of Experimental Physics, - merovo State University.

This volume contains 27 contributions to the Second Russian-German Advanced Research Workshop on Computational Science and High Performance Computing presented in March 2005 at Stuttgart, Germany. Contributions range from computer science, mathematics and high performance computing to applications in mechanical and aerospace engineering.

This volume contains contributions to the First Kazakh-German Advanced Research Workshop on Computational Science and High Performance Computing presented in September 2005 at Almaty, Kazakhstan. The workshop was organized by the High Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (Stuttgart, Germany), al-Farabi Kazakh National University (Almaty, Kazakhstan) and the Institute of Computational Technologies SB RAS (Novosibirsk, Russia) in the framework of activities of the German-Russian Center for Computational Technologies and High Performance

This volume is published as the proceedings of the third Russian-German - vanced Research Workshop on Computational Science and High Performance Computing in Novosibirsk, Russia, in July 2007. The contributions of these proceedings were provided and edited by the - thors, chosen after a careful selection and reviewing. The workshop was organized by the High Performance Computing Center Stuttgart(Stuttgart,Germany)andtheInstituteofComputationalTechnologies SBRAS(Novosibirsk,Russia)intheframeworkofactivitiesoftheGerman-Russian CenterforComputationalTechnologiesandHighPerformanceComputing. Thee event is held biannually and has already become a good tradition for German and Russian scientists. The ?rst Workshop took place in September 2003 in Novosibirskand the second Workshopwas hosted by Stuttgart in March 2005. Both workshops gave the possibility of sharing and discussing the latest results and developing further scienti?c contacts in the ?eld of computational science and high performance computing. The topics of the current workshop include software and hardware for high performancecomputation,numericalmodellingingeophysicsandcomputational ?uid dynamics, mathematical modelling of tsunami waves, simulation of fuel cellsandmodern? breopticsdevices,numericalmodellingincryptographypr- lems andaeroacoustics,interval analysis,toolsfor Gridapplications,researchon service-oriented architecture (SOA) and telemedicine technologies. Theparticipationofrepresentativesofmajorresearchorganizationsengagedin the solution of the most complex problems of mathematical modelling, devel- ment of new algorithms,programsandkey elementsof informationtechnologies, elaboration and implementation of software and hardware for high performance computing systems,provideda highlevelof competenceofthe workshop. Among the German participants were the heads and leading specialists of the HighPerformanceComputingCenterStuttgart(HLRS)(UniversityofStuttgart), NECHighPerformanceComputingEuropeGmbH,SectionofAppliedMathem- ics(UniversityofFreiburgi.Br.),InstituteofAerodynamics(RWTHAachen),- gionalComputingCenterErlangen(RRZE(UniversityofErlangen-Nuremberg), Center for High Performance Computing (ZHR) (Dresden University of Technology).
