Summary

In recent years, the combination of the maturation of mathematical models of electromagentic phenomena, the rapid progress in computational technology and the computational experience of science and engineering has resulted in significant advances in the field of computational applied electromagnetics. However, even with the most advanced computer hardware, some problems have not been solved successfully. This means that advanced hardware technology, sophisticated software architecture and ``smart'' problem solving approaches are necessary ingredients but, by themselves, are not sufficient. They must be combined together in an interdisciplinary environment to solve today's challenging problems. For this purpose, the book includes a wide range of topics, starting from a theoretical discussion of applied electromagnetics, extending to new numerical methods, as well as various application of the electromagnetic phenomena: advanced computational methods, inverse problems, wave propagation, electromagnetic fields in materials.
