A magnificent symbol for this situation is the famous painting of the Italian Renaissance artist Raphael “The school of Athens”, also called “Plato’s Academy”, a fresco in the Stanza della Segnatura in the Vatican, painted in 1510/11. Almost every great Greek philosopher or scientist can be found in the painting, among them Plato, his teacher Socrates, Aristotle, Euclid or Archimedes and Pythagoras. The composition could also be looked upon as a symbol for the convention of seemingly different disciplines, demonstrating the interdisciplinary character of the sciences. At that time the place of our venue, the Island of Crete, was at the periphery of the ancient Greece. We owe the choice of this wonderful place to the chairman of this congress, Professor Manolis Papadrakakis, a native of Crete, and his colleagues of the Greek Association for Computational Mechanics (GRACM). The ECCOMAS Congress takes place every four years, alternating with the Conferences on Computational Mechanics in Solids, Structures and Coupled Problems (ECCM) and Computational Fluid Dynamics Raphael’s “School of Athens” (1 Plato, 2 Aristotle, 3 Socrates, 4 Euclid or Archimedes, (ECFD). It turns out that these 5 Pythagoras, 6 Diogenes) * meetings become major scientific events; we realize that also for the present congress over 2,200 participants registered coming from all regions in Europe and a considerable number also from other continents. The spectrum of the 162 Minisymposia is impressive, clearly demonstrating that modeling and simulation in the applied sciences became a third pillar besides theory and experiment; we cannot imagine our daily life in academia and practice without these accomplishments. Thanks to all participants, in particular the Minisymposium organizers, plenary and semi-plenary lecturers and the chairpersons. On behalf of ECCOMAS and its 23 regional and national associations in 31 European countries it is a great pleasure for me to welcome all delegates to the 7th European Congress on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences and Engineering. Such a large conference is a tremendous challenge for the organizers. I would like to take this opportunity to particularly thank the Congress Chairman Manolis Papadrakakis and his colleagues in the Local Organizing Committee from the National Technical University of Athens, the Technical University of Crete and the University of Thessaly for the excellent organization and the permanent support during the preparation of this meeting. We are also very grateful for the continuous assistance by the Conference Secretary Eva Konti and her efficient team. My best wishes to all participants for a successful conference and an enjoyable stay in Crete. *The painting was also reproduced on the front cover of the first book on Isogeometric Analysis referring to a phrase “ἀγεωμέτρητος μηδεὶς εἰσίτω” - “Let no one ignorant of geometry enter” allegedly engraved at the door of Plato’s Academy. Ekkehard Ramm Honorary Congress Chairman President of ECCOMAS ECCOMAS Congress 2016 – Programme 3 Greetings from the Congress Chairman Dear Participants, On behalf of the European Community on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences and Engineering (ECCOMAS), it is our great pleasure to welcome you to Hersonissos, Crete at the 7th European Congress on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences and Engineering (ECCOMAS Congress 2016). The Congress is organized by the Institute of Structural Analysis and Antiseismic Research of the National Technical University of Athens under the support of the Institute of Research and Development for Computational Methods in Engineering Sciences (ICMES) and the Computer Applications and Education in Engineering Sciences (CAEES). The main objective of ECCOMAS Congress series is to provide a forum for presentation and discussion of state-of- the-art advances in computational methods in applied sciences and engineering, including basic methodologies, scientific developments and industrial applications and to serve as a platform for establishing links between research groups of academia and industry with common as well as complementary activities. About 2,200 participants are attending the ECCOMAS Congress 2016 in Crete. More than 2,600 abstracts related to all areas of computational methods in applied sciences and engineering have been submitted, out if which 2,200 have been accepted for presentation by authors of 53 countries around the world. Furthermore, 715 full length papers have been submitted and reviewed by members of the scientific committee and will be indexed by SCOPUS database. The scientific programme of the ECCOMAS 2016 Congress consists of 8 plenary lectures, 27 semi-plenary lectures, 162 minisymposia, 8 special technological sessions, one minisymposium dedicated to the Young Investigators Committee of ECCOMAS. Furthermore, the 6th ECCOMAS Olympiad will be hosted by the Congress where the best PhD theses approved by a university or research organization in Europe during the year 2015 will be presented. ECCOMAS Congresses have, apart from their advanced scientific perspective, a strong cultural and social dimension. In this context, a number of events will take place during the course of the Congress which will complement the scientific programme. The Opening Speech by Theodosios Tasios, will illustrate the achievements of the four great engineers of the Hellenistic era: Ctesibius, Archimides, Philon and Heron which among other engineering achievements include various fully operational automata and the first prerequisite for the analog computer, i.e. the Antikythera Mechanism. During the Welcome Reception, Antonis Martsakis and his group will entertain the participants with traditional Cretan music played by violin, Cretan lyra and lagotto. At the Appreciation Event, honoring the invited speakers and those who contributed to the organization of the minisymposia, Thanasis Polykandriotis’ music group “OI EPOMENOI”, which performed at the Opening Ceremony of the XXVIII Olympic Games “Athens 2004”, will provide an anthology of Greek folk music based on the Bouzouki instrument. At the Congress Banquet, Cretan dancers will show their artistry in performing traditional folk dances of Crete which depict the brave heroism, dynamism and rebellious character of the Cretan people. 4 ECCOMAS Congress 2016 – Programme Welcome to Crete, the largest Greek island and the fifth largest in the Mediterranean. Crete has a very long and rich history during several thousand years to the past, and it is nowadays characterized by its high touristic appeal owed to the island’s diverse landscape as well as its unique and colorful culture. Birthplace of Zeus according to mythology, and home of the Minoan civilization, Europe’s first advanced civilization. Crete presents continuous and uninterrupted habitation since the Paleolithic era, as far back as 130,000 years ago. The organizers of the ECCOMAS

    Sitzungsber. Akad. Wissensch., math.-naturw. Klasse 143 (1934) Dritter Beitrag zur Kenntnis der Tierwelt der Ägäischen Inseln Von Franz Werner korr. Mitglied d. Akad. d. Wiss. (Mit 4 Textfiguren) (Vorgelegt in der Sitzung am 18. Oktober 1934) I. Einleitung und Reisebericht. Die in den Jahren 1927 und 1932 unternommenen Reisen nach den Inseln des Ägäischen Meeres konnten, obwohl sie nur der Rekognoszierung dienen und keinesfalls einen Abschluß be• deuten sollten, doch noch immer keinen vollkommenen Überblick auch nur über die Tierwelt der größeren Inseln des Archipels ge• währen. So entschloß ich mich, eine weitere Reise in dieses Gebiet zu unternehmen, die am 14. April 1934 angetreten wurde und für deren Subventionierung ich wie auch vor zwei Jahren der Akademie der Wissenschaften in Wien sowie Herrn Prof. Thomas Barbour, Museum of Comparative Zoology, Cambridge, Mass. U. S. A. zu aufrichtigstem Danke verpflichtet bin, den ich hier zu gebührendem Ausdrucke bringe. Durch die Teilnahme von Herrn Kustos Dr. Otto Wettstein vom Naturhistorischen Museum in Wien war eine Arbeitsteilung zur Erforschung einer relativ großen Zahl von Inseln möglich. Dr. Wettstein besuchte davon viele, namentlich im Osten des Zykladenmeeres (zwischen Naxos und Amorgos sowie südlich von dieser Insel, ferner Anaphi und einige benachbarte Inseln), sowie den Furni-Archipel bei Samos ohne mich, während ich Antiparos in Gesellschaft der Herren Studierenden der Medizin G. Netolitzky und H. Lenz, die die Zykladenreise mit uns machten, sowie Polivos und Agios Eustathios bei Milos mit Herrn Lenz allein, Kythnos, Siphnos, Kimolos, Paros, Pholegandros, Kardiotissa, Sikinos in Ge• sellschaft der drei genannten Herren, die großen Inseln an der Westküste Kleinasiens (Ikaria, Chios, Mytilene und Samothrake) mit Kustos Wettstein allein durchforschte.

  • DESERTMED a Project About the Deserted Islands of the Mediterranean
    DESERTMED A project about the deserted islands of the Mediterranean The islands, and all the more so the deserted island, is an extremely poor or weak notion from the point of view of geography. This is to it’s credit. The range of islands has no objective unity, and deserted islands have even less. The deserted island may indeed have extremely poor soil. Deserted, the is- land may be a desert, but not necessarily. The real desert is uninhabited only insofar as it presents no conditions that by rights would make life possible, weather vegetable, animal, or human. On the contrary, the lack of inhabitants on the deserted island is a pure fact due to the circumstance, in other words, the island’s surroundings. The island is what the sea surrounds. What is de- serted is the ocean around it. It is by virtue of circumstance, for other reasons that the principle on which the island depends, that the ships pass in the distance and never come ashore.“ (from: Gilles Deleuze, Desert Island and Other Texts, Semiotext(e),Los Angeles, 2004) DESERTMED A project about the deserted islands of the Mediterranean Desertmed is an ongoing interdisciplina- land use, according to which the islands ry research project. The “blind spots” on can be divided into various groups or the European map serve as its subject typologies —although the distinctions are matter: approximately 300 uninhabited is- fluid. lands in the Mediterranean Sea.

Under average meteorological conditions, the island is water-sufficient (969 mm precipitation; theoretical water potential 3284 hm3; and total water use 610 hm3). Agriculture is by far the greatest user of water (78% of total water use), followed by domestic use (21%). Despite the high average water availability, water scarcity events commonly occur, particularly in the eastern-south part of the island, driven by local climatic conditions and seasonal or geographical mismatches between water availability and demand.
