[sci.engr] CFP: Eighth Conference on Computing in Civil Engineering

jwb@cepmax.ncsu.edu (John W. Baugh Jr.) (05/22/91)

Plans are underway for ASCE's Eighth Conference on Computing in Civil
Engineering, which will be held June 10-12, 1992 in Dallas, Texas
(500-word abstracts are due July 1, 1991).  Although I do not
officially represent ASCE, I would like to encourage participation in
this conference, especially from those of you who are working in
PARALLEL and DISTRIBUTED PROGRAMMING (my own areas of interest).  In
addition, I hope that researchers in other disciplines such as
mechanical engineering and numerical mathematics (who may be doing
parallel computing in areas like finite element analysis and numerical
optimization) will participate.  Finally, I would be interested in
hearing from any of you who plan to submit papers or are otherwise
interested.  See the CFP below for more details.

Thank you,

			   Call for Papers

		 American Society of Civil Engineers
	       Technical Council on Computer Practices
	 Eighth Conference on Computing in Civil Engineering
			   10-12 June, 1992
			      Dallas, TX

     The eighth in the series of Conferences on Computing in Civil
Engineering will be held 10-12 June, 1992 in Dallas, TX, in
conjunction with A/E/C Systems '92.  This series, initiated in 1978,
provides a continuing forum for the advancement of intelligent
computer use in the profession.  The conference will bring together
diverse groups within the profession and those affiliated with it to
share knowledge, experience and techniques.  The objective is to
disseminate current and projected developments in both software and
hardware and to educate users in the ways in which computers can be
applied to practice, administration and education.

     This conference will include a "Symposium on Geographic
Information Analysis," as well as sessions describing computer use in
construction management, water resources, transportation,
geotechnical, structural and other aspects of civil engineering.
Papers are being sought that describe computer applications across all
aspects of Civil Engineering, including education, design, assessment,
and management.  Computer applications in large and small engineering
firms as well as government and education will be considered.  Papers
describing completed applications will be given priority, but quality
discussions of work-in-progress will also be considered.  Papers
describing Geographic Information Analysis are particularly solicited.

Deadlines:  500-word Abstracts Due:            July 1, 1991
            Notification of Acceptance:        October 1, 1991
            Submission of Complete Papers:     December 1, 1991
            Conference:                        June 10, 1992
