MASCOT 2018 is the 15th edition of the IMACS/ISGG workshop focused on
methods and tools for the complete cycle of numerical modelling and
simulation, from the development of theoretically well based models and
methods to the deep investigation of crucial applications, from geometry and
model construction to its implementation, from data analysis and powerful design
of computational tools, with advanced capabilities. Aim of the workshop is the
presentation and discussion of innovative technologies dealing with all aspects of

The IMACS Series in Computational and Applied Mathematics collects refereed
papers on research results presented in scientic events held under the auspices
of the International Association for Mathematics and Computers in Simulation
(IMACS).
The MASCOT2018 Proceedings Book refers to the 15th IMACS/ISGG Inter-
national Workshop of the MASCOT series of meetings which is yearly organised
since 2001. The Istituto per le Applicazioni del Calcolo (IAC) of the Consiglio
Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR) is, the principal co-sponsoring organizer of these
