      abstract     = {We report on a 2D kinetic Monte Carlo model that describes
                      the resistive switching in electrochemical metallization
                      cells. To simulate the switching process, we consider
                      several different processes on the atomic scale:
                      electron-transfer reactions at the boundaries, ion
                      migration, adsorption/desorption from/to interfaces, surface
                      diffusion and nucleation. These processes result in a
                      growth/dissolution of a metallic filament within an
                      insulating matrix. In addition, the model includes electron
                      tunneling between the growing filament and the counter
                      electrode, which allows for simulating multilevel switching.
                      It is shown that the simulation model can reproduce the
                      reported switching kinetics, switching variability and
                      multilevel capabilities of ECM devices. As a major result,
                      the influence of mechanical stress working on the host
                      matrix due to the filamentary growth is investigated. It is
                      demonstrated that the size and shape of the filament depend
                      on the Young's modulus of the insulating matrix. For high
                      values a wire-like structure evolves, whereas the shape is
                      dendritic if the Young's modulus is negligible.},
