The book will cover the past, present and future developments of field
theory and computational electromagnetics. The first two chapters will
give an overview of the historical developments and the present the
state-of-the-art in computational electromagnetics. These two chapters
will set the stage for discussing recent progress, new developments,
challenges, trends and major directions in computational
electromagnetics with three main emphases:
a. Modeling of ever larger structures with multi-scale dimensions and
multi-level descriptions (behavioral, circuit, network and field levels)
and transient behaviours
b. Inclusions of physical effects other than electromagnetic: quantum
effects, thermal effects, mechanical effects and nano scale features
c. New developments in available computer hardware, programming
paradigms (MPI, Open MP, CUDA and Open CL) and the associated new
modeling approaches
These are the current emerging topics in the area of computational
electromagnetics and may provide readers a comprehensive overview of
future trends and directions in the area.
The book is written for students, research scientists, professors,
design engineers and consultants who engaged in the fields of design,
analysis and research of the emerging technologies related to
computational electromagnetics, RF/microwave, optimization, new
numerical methods, as well as accelerator simulator, dispersive
materials, nano-antennas, nano-waveguide, nano-electronics, terahertz
applications, bio-medical and material sciences.
The book may also be used for those involved in commercializing
electromagnetic and related emerging technologies, sensors and the
semiconductor industry. The book can be used as a reference book for
graduates and post graduates. It can also be used as a text book for
workshops and continuing education for researchers and design engineers
