Domain decomposition is an active and interdisciplinary research area that has drawn the attention of researchers working in many different fields. The effort during late seventies and earlier eighties was concentrated in the substructuring and block methods for elliptic problems. Research work has now being extended and applied in many branches of computational mathematics in science and engineering. In particular, non-linear and multiphysics problems related to industry and strategies suitable for parallel and distributed high performance computing are of interest to the participants of this series of international conferences.

This eleventh meeting will take place in the United Kingdom for the first time. Its special focus will be on numerical analysis, computational issues, industrial applications and software development for domain decomposition methods.

The conference will take the format of plenary talks, minisymposia, parallel sessions, selected graduate paper presentations and vendors exhibition. All aspects of DD-based methods are sought, including:
 

Numerical analysis of dd methods  Fictitious domain methods  Block and substructuring methods  Multigrid methods  Coupling methods for multiphysics  Heterogeneous dd methods  Mortar element methods  dd methods for high-order and spectral            discretisations  dd methods for eigen value problems  dd methods for non-linear and time dependent problems  dd methods in computational fluid dynamics  dd methods in structural dynamics and aeroelasticity

dd methods in acoustics and electromagnetics  dd methods in oil field simulations  dd methods in social/financial science  dd methods for inverse problems  dd methods for boundary/panel elements  Graph decomposition  Mesh partitioning and load balancing issues  Strategies for high performance computing  Strategies for parallel and distributed computing  Software development for dd methods  Semi-automatic development tools for dd methods  dd methods for non-linear industrial/ multiphysics problems

Student Participation - Graduate Paper Competition:

Limited funds will be available for graduate students. Please contact the organisers for details. Students should mention their student status on submission of abstracts (deadline as above). Full papers, not less than 5 pages, should be submitted before 20th May 1998 in order to qualify for the Graduate Paper Competition. High quality student papers will be selected for the competition on the basis of their full submission. Some students will receive financial support through having their local expenses waived and receiving the conference proceedings free of charge (subject to certain conditions). If funding is sufficient, part of their international travel expenses may be waived. Please contact the conference secretary for further details.
