Second Announcement and Call for Papers

 

12th International Conference

on Domain Decomposition Methods

October 25-29, 1999

Chiba University

Chiba, Japan

 

Domain Decomposition (DD) has served as an organizing principle for many concepts and methodologies in mathematics, computer science, and computational science and engineering. And also DD will contribute to originate new concepts and methodologies in related fields mentioned above, which will give a clue to understand and solve complex problems existing in our real world at present. The objective of this conference is to promote understanding and use of DD for the solution of problems arising in various fields of science and engineering and to promote interaction between researchers throughout the above-mentioned disciplines. The conference will include invited plenary talks by leading experts in the field from academia, research institutions, and industry, as well as mini-symposia, contributed papers and graduate student paper sessions. In particular, it will focus on:
