Abstract
Some of the most fascinating problems in all fields of science involve multiple temporal or spatial scales. Many processes occurring at a certain scale govern the behavior of the system across several (usually larger) scales. This notion of multiple hierarchies in nature, which is reflected in various approaches to multiscale modeling, can be traced back to the beginnings of modern science, see e.g. the discussions in [182, 211, 252].
