According to the general philosophy of NETIAM, the workshop started with plenary talks, which each formed the basis for the key break-out sessions, at which the most important interplays of mathematical disciplines and reality were framed in a way that can hopefully be used in coherent mathematical formulations.

Experienced technology translators assembled the ideas emerging from these sessions. Finally, there was a reporting session which highlighted the most promising overview for future research into the mathematics of visualization, virtual material analysis and virtual material design. In particular, the outcomes of the workshop were

• the identification of areas of high adventure and opportunity that are prime future topics for NEST, other parts of the FP6 and other research programmes, and
• the identification of barriers to and enablers for multidisciplinary research.
