DESCRIPTION:Prof. Annalisa BUFFA  (IMATI-CNR\, Italy)\nThe use of splines
  as main mathematical primitives for the discretisation of partial differe
 ntial equations has gained a lot of momentum since the introduction of iso
 geometric analysis by T.J.R. Hughes et al. in 2005. Indeed\, spline-based 
 methods have been proved an extremely powerful framework for the design of
  innovative numerical methods enjoying properties that would be hard to ac
 hieve with classical discretisation strategies as finite elements.\nI will
  survey my recent contributions in the field\, from the definition of opti
 mal adaptive strategies based on non-tensor product splines\, to the const
 ruction of spline complexes and their geometric structure.  Finally\, I w
 ill address future research perspectives and give an idea of all future st
 eps that are needed to make these techniques ready to be used in the conte
 xt of complex and industrial oriented applications.
