2000
University of Jyväskylä,
Finland
University of Jyväskylä,
Laboratory of Scientific Computing and Center for Scientific Computing organize
FEM3D-conference.
Third announcement and call for
abstracts
VENUE
The FEM3D Conference will be held from June
28 to July 1, 2000 at the University of Jyväskylä, Laboratory of
Scientific Computing.
The University of Jyväskylä is
located in Central Finland, 270 kilometers north from Helsinki. As an inland
town in the heart of the Finnish lake district, Jyväskylä offers
pleasant surroundings for the Conference.
INTRODUCTION
The finite element method is one of the
most effective numerical techniques for solving various problems arising from
mathematical physics and engineering. The aim of the conference is to bring
together specialists working on finite element solutions of three-dimensional
problems, since this is nowadays a very active area in numerical mathematics and
engineering. The topics of the conference include generation of
three-dimensional unstructured meshes, local and adaptive mesh refinement,
Delaunay triangulations, three-dimensional curved and mortar elements, shell
elements, domain decomposition and multigrid methods, a priori and a posteriori
error estimates, reliable solutions, superconvergence phenomena, direct and
iterative solvers, nonlinear and singularly perturbed problems, optimal shape
design, visualization of three-dimensional finite elements and solutions,
software for 3D-problems etc. A special emphasis will be laid on real-life
industrial applications.
SCIENTIFIC
PROGRAM
The Program will consist of keynote
lectures (45 minutes), invited lectures (30 min), presentations (20 min), and
minisymposia on specific topics.

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS, MINISYMPOSIA AND
PAPERS
Those participants who wish to present
their contributions in the Conference are kindly asked to submit the abstract of
their talk in the form: Title, authors and abstract text of 100 – 150
words by the end of April, 2000. Authors will be informed about the acceptance
of their contribution by 15th of May, 2000.
The conference program will include
minisymposia on various aspects of the theory and applications of the finite
element method. Each of them will be a two-hour session of 4-6 speakers. The
organizing committee strongly encourages the submission of proposals for
minisymposium topics. Please, send your proposals via e-mail to the address
fem3@mit.jyu.fi or by mail to the conference secretary by the end of April,
2000. Include the title of the minisymposium, names of the organizers, a summary
of the topic of the minisymposium, and a tentative list of speakers. The
proposers are informed by the 15th of May, 2000 about acceptance of
the minisymposia.
