Sponsored by ISBE (International Society for Boundary Elements),
Wessex Institute of Technology, and NSF (pending)
BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS
August 13-15 1991
ORGANIZATION AND EDITORIAL COMMITEE:
-----------------------------------
Dr. Carlos Brebbia,
Director of W.I.T. and Computational Mechanics, UK.

CONFERENCE THEMES:
-----------------
The first conference, ASE 89, took place in Southampton University and
resulted in the publication of two volumes of proceedings. At that conference
the emphasis was mainly on the impact of supercomputer architectures on the
engineering community and on the meaning of benchmark tests for these
computers.
The themes of ASE 91 will have a stronger emphasis on parallel algorithms
for the efficient solution of partial differential equations, on examples of
large scale computation which have had an impact on an engineering design,
as well as on hardware and software aspects of supercomputing which result in
more efficient indirect memory addressing, ie. for numerical solution
methods on unstructured grids. Invited speakers on these and other relevant
topics will be disclosed in a future announcement.
Contributors should consider four main subject categories when submitting
an abstract:
(1) New and better algorithms for parallel engineering computation:
(a) multigrid and vector extrapolation schemes
(b) conjugate gradient methods
(c) operator split and domain decomposition
(d) the mathematics of parallel computation
(e) Finite and Boundary Element algorithms
(2) Examples of engineering applications on vector and parallel computers:
(a) structural dynamics, rock and ice mechanics
(b) fatigue, impact, and crash simulations
(c) Computational Fluid Dynamics, heat transfer and combustion
(d) turbulence and environmental modelling
(e) shallow water equations
(f) soil mechanics
(g) CAD and CIM interacting with Finite/Boundary Elements
(3) Three dimensional visualisation of engineering problems using the latest
algorithms, hardware configurations and distributed systems.
(4) We would like to see hardware manufacturers, industrialists and applied
academic researchers tackling the debate on the merits of unstructured,
multiblock and body fitted grids for solution of discrete engineering
problems by the engineer. `Philosophical' papers from people with a wealth
of practical experience are welcome under this subject category. Papers
dealing with hardware or software approaches to an efficient indirect
addressing memory management in current/future supercomputers will be
particularly welcome.
Papers are invited on the topics outlined above and on other topics which
will fit within the general scope of the conference.
TIME SCHEDULE:
-------------
Submission of abstracts: 1st November 1990 (deadline)
Preliminary acceptance: 15th December 1990
Submission of final paper: 5th April 1991
Final acceptance: 17th May 1991
Conference: 13th-15th August 1991
ABSTRACTS should be no longer than 300 words and should clearly state
the purpose, results and conclusions of the work to be described in the
final paper. Final acceptance will be based upon review of the full
length paper.
ALL ABSTRACTS must be submitted to the Conference Secretary:
