Dear Colleague, Could you post the following CALL FOR PAPERS on your mailing list ? Many thanks, Dr. D. Howard --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: ASE 91 Conference First Announcement CALL FOR PAPERS 2nd International Conference A S E 9 1 Application of Supercomputers in Engineering 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. Professor Avi Lin, Temple University and ICOMP NASA, USA. Dr. Daniel Howard, Oxford University and Rolls Royce PLC, UK. Dr. Alex Peters, IBM Heidelberg, West Germany. 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: Liz Neuman, Conference Secretary, W.I.T., Ashurst Lodge Ashurst, Southampton, SO4 2AA, England, UK Tel: 44-703-293223 FAX: 44-703-292853 For further information on ASE 91 please contact the Conference Secretary above.
