Conference on Domain Decomposition Methods


                Announcement and Call for Papers
  EIGHTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON DOMAIN DECOMPOSITION METHODS
                May 16-20, 1995, Beijing, China

Domain Decomposition has received significant development in
scientific and engineering computing recent years because it is not
only a computing strategy suitable to high performance computing
system, but also refers to a broad class of effective numerical
methods for solving large-scale mathematical-physical problems from
sciences and engineering.  The goal of this sevies of conference is to
bring together researchers with different backgrounds working in this
active area to discuss recent and prospective advances and to promote
interaction among numerical analysts, applied scientists, engineers,
and computer scientists.

FORMAT AND THEMES: 

The conference will feature invited lectures, selected contributed
papers, and poster presentations. Themes of the conference will range
from basic theoretical research to industrial applications related to
domain decomposition(DD) method, including numerical analysis of DD
methods, block and substructuring methods, multigrid and multilevel
methods, fictitious domain methods, DD methods for high order and
spectral methods, DD methods for nonlinear and time dependent
problems, DD methods in computational fluid dynamics and structural
mechanics, graph decomposition, general iterative and preconditioning
methods, strategies and technologies of high performance computing,
parallel implementations, and software developments.
