Numerical Modeling has reached an amazing level of maturity: scientists and engineers use it as complement to Experimental Modeling and Analysis and as a design tool in an extremely wide variety of problems. However, the user often forgets that answers provided by Numerical Models are affected by errors. The problem of assessing and controlling the quality of the numerical solutions is far of being solved for arbitrary models and it is in fact one of the challenges in computational mechanics for the next future. The adaptive strategies pertain to the techniques providing quality control with a minimum computational effort. The international conference in Adaptive Modeling and Simulation (ADMOS) is a forum to discuss this methods and techniques.

ADMOS is one of the conferences started with the first cohort of the ECCOMAS series of thematic events, in 2003. The first edition was held in Goteborg, Sweden in September 2003. The second edition took place in September 2005, in Barcelona. We came back to Goteborg for the 2007 edition. ADMOS is a medium-size conference (an average of around 80 delegates) with a balanced participation covering both the theoretical aspects of the subject and the engineering applications.
