Dear Colleague 

On behalf of the International Society for Structural and Multidisciplinary
Optimization (  ISSMO), we are pleased to announce
that the 8th World Congress on Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization
(  WCSMO-8) will be held at the LNEC Conference
Centre in Lisboa, Portugal during June 1-5, 2009. 

ISSMO was founded in October 1991 and has held biennial World Congresses on
Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization since 1995.

The main objectives of these Congresses are to identify new areas and
promote research into all aspects of structural and multidisciplinary
optimization, including engineering systems consisting partially of
structures and/or fluids, and to encourage practical applications of
optimization methods and corresponding software development in all branches
of science and technology. 

Based on the previous World Congresses, we believe that WCSMO-8 will have
very strong impact on the development of structural and multidisciplinary
optimization, identifying emerging and future areas of research and
sponsoring the collaboration between its participants.

Contributions are invited in all fields of structural and multidisciplinary
optimization. 

The topic areas for this congress have been organized into five broad
topics: (1) Structural optimization, (2) multidisciplinary design
optimization, (3) design optimization in thermal and fluid engineering
systems, (4) engineering optimization and inverse problems, (5) basic
engineering optimization techniques, (6) optimization in emerging areas
(materials design, bioengineering, multibody systems dynamics, MEMS,
ecodesign), (7) Applications. 

Please visit the Congress web page were you will have all the updated
information about this event:  
http://www.wcsmo8.org

We would like to invite you to attend this conference in Lisboa and
participate in its scientific activities.

[NotiAMCA] VECPAR'08 Workshop announcement

[Victorio Sonzogni]

Sparse Days at CERFACS

Each year in early summer, the Parallel Algorithm Team at CERFACS holds
a meeting entitled "Sparse Days at CERFACS" and this year it will be
held as a Workshop for the VECPAR'08 meeting in Toulouse.

The main theme of the Sparse Days this year will reflect this and be on
vector and parallel computing, including also work on modern
architectures like multicores, graphics processing units etc.

The meeting will be held at CERFACS (an easy metro/bus ride from the
centre of Toulouse, see the access to Meteopole) from mid-morning on
Monday 23 June until late afternoon on Tuesday 24 June, followed by a
banquet dinner.

In memory of Gene Golub who attended many previous Sparse Days, the
meeting and dinner will have dedications to him and any speaker who
knew Gene is welcome to include remarks in his or her presentation.

People registering for the VECPAR meeting should indicate if they wish
to participate in this workshop. There is also the possibility to
register directly for the workshop itself but in that case papers
presented at the Workshop will not be eligible to be included in the
VECPAR Proceedings.

There will be no registration fees for the workshop although the cost of
the banquet will be 40 euros.

Registration and other information for the VECPAR'08 conference can be
found on the web site: http://vecpar.fe.up.pt/2008/

INRIA-LORRAINE
INRIA 2008 POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP PROPOSAL
 
---
City : Nancy

Title of Research Project: Domain decomposition for full wave simulation 
of cold plasma.

INRIA team in which the research would be effected: CALVI

Fellowship supervisor: Jean Roche

Description of Research:

Waves at a frequency close to the lower hybrid (LH) resonance are widely 
used in tokamaks for current drive. Modelling of LH waves is usually 
carried out using Ray-tracing code for computing the LH waves 
propagation and absorption. First ?full wave? simulations based on 
spectral techniques have shown different results in comparison to RT 
model and inconistencies still remain.
The aim of this post doctoral fellowship is to develop a domain 
decomposition method for the full-wave simulation of electromagnetic 
wave propagation in plasma. This work is a collaboration between the 
INRIA team CALVI and the CEA Cadarache(ITER project).
The full-wave method allows us to study the electromagnetic wave 
propagation in cold plasma and the"whistler" modes for a frequency near 
the lower-hybrid frequency.
In the full wave simulation of wave propagation consider in this project 
we study a time harmonic formulation. In this formulation we solve the 
governing equation for the electric field.
The domain considered is as near as possible of the cavity fill by a 
tokomak plasma. Toroidal coordinates are introduced.
In our approach we consider Fourier decomposition in the angular 
coordinate to obtain stationary Maxwell equations in a cross-section of 
the tokamak cavity.
To consider finite element numerical method widely used to approximate 
the solution of this type of problems we introduce a mixed augmented 
variational (weak) formulation taking account the divergence constraint 
and natural boundary conditions (Costabel, Ciarlet Jr., Assous, Degond 
et al.). An evolution of this method due to Costabel and al. allows us 
to consider the anisotropic case.
A code was developed in the total domain case following these ideas in 
the team CALVI
The analysis of the weak formulation of our problem with a heterogeneous 
behaviour of the conductivity tensor presents some difficulties. We 
propose a domain decomposition to overcome this anisotropy.
The next objective is to develop the domain decomposition code, when we 
consider the mixed augmented formulation on each sub domains.
It's a non trivial work to identify the interface condition between sub 
domains. The postdoctoral fellow will first study interface conditions, 
a beginnig point for this research will be the papers of Alonso and 
Valli, Quarteroni and Valli, Collino, Ghanemi and Joly.
The domain decomposition must answer to two priorities. The first one is 
to take account of the anisotropy of the problem because of the magnetic 
field, with stiff behaviour of densities and gradients. We want to be 
able to adapt finite element discretization in each sub domains.
The second priority is to adapt the algorithm and the code to parallel 
computers. In that case we will be able to consider fine discretization 
and compare the results to ray-tracing ones.

Desired profile of candidate:

Ph. D. in Mathematics, Numerical analysis speciality, with good
experience in numerical resolution of PDE's, scientific computation,
and possible knowledge in domain decomposition or Ph.D in Physics,
possibly a specialization in Plasma Physics with a good knowledge of
scientific computation.

[NotiAMCA] COMPLAS X Int. Conf. Computation al Plasticity

[Victorio Sonzogni]

COMPLAS X 
International  Conference on  Computational Plasticity
2-4 September 2009
Barcelona, España



Objectives

Previous meetings in the COMPLAS series were held in Barcelona in 1987, 1989, 
1992, 1995, 1997, 2000 2003, 2005 and 2007. COMPLAS 2007 attracted some 300 
participants.

COMPLAS 2009 will address both the theoretical bases for the solution of 
plasticity problems and the numerical algorithms necessary for efficient and 
robust computer implementation.

The ability to provide numerical simulations for increasingly complex problems 
is advancing rapidly due to both remarkable strides in computer hardware 
development and the improved maturity of computational procedures for 
non-linear systems. Significant advances have been made in the formulation 
and implementation of algorithms for static and dynamic problems involving 
finite strains, complex contact interaction laws, constitutive material 
behaviours including multi-physics or multi-scale effects, progressive large 
scale fracturing, etc.. Such advances, however, demand a closer interaction 
between numerical analysts and material scientists in order to produce 
theoretical models which provide a response in keeping with fundamental 
material principles and experimental observations.

Numerical techniques, and in particular finite element and discrete element 
methods, are now extensively employed in non-linear deformation predictions 
and very often offer the only means of solution for practical engineering 
problems. It is therefore essential to ascertain that such techniques can be 
reliably employed in industrial and R&D applications.

COMPLAS 2009 aims to act as a forum for practitioners in the field to discuss 
recent advances and identify future research directions.

Sessions related to specific topics of the conference will be introduced by a 
Keynote Lecture in the field. These Keynote Lectures will be complemented by 
Invited Sessions organised by recognised experts in targeted research areas, 
as well as by contributed papers received from the general Call for Papers.

diseñados y fabricados en la escala micrométrica para funcionar
individualmente como sensores, actuadores, o plataformas para microensayos.
Los mismos integran componentes eléctricos, mecánicos, fluídicos y ópticos.
Las aplicaciones de los MEMS son diversas, principalmente en tecnología
biomédica y de las telecomunicaciones. El modelado de estos sistemas
confiere el soporte teórico necesario para el diseño y la construcción de
prototipos. Asimismo, la simulación computacional es la herramienta
indispensable para optimizar el diseño y las operaciones de los MEMS. La
descripción teórica se realiza en el contexto de la mecánica del continuo, a
partir de las leyes que gobiernan las tensiones en los materiales, la
dinámica de los fluidos, el campo eléctrico y la conservación de la energía.
Desde el punto de vista matemático, el modelo de un determinado dispositivo
involucra un conjunto de ecuaciones diferenciales acopladas, las cuales
deben resolverse numéricamente. Para ello se utiliza el método de elementos

[NotiAMCA] IMPAR 2008 - Impact of New Architectures on Parallel Programming

[Victorio Sonzogni]

=
 IMPAR 2008
             The Impact of New Architectures on Parallel Programming
         (in conjunction with the conference CSE'08 - July 16-18, 2008
                               Sao Paulo - Brazil)

Although parallel programming has been a concern for decades, the new
generation of processors has fostered the research in the area. Multicore 
chips
have become a standard, without any clear new solution to program them, 
besides
OpenMP, Posix Threads and MPI. Moreover, the increase in the number of cores
that is expected within the chips has already raised the issue of the
performance. For instance, the scalability of  parallel programs running on
chips multicores, with clear bottlenecks such as a unique memory bus, is an
issue. The treatment of Non-Uniform Memory Accesses in the current parallel
languages or libraries is an other open point which may turn crucial as the
number of cores increases. Finally, Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) are also
emerging as a new source of parallel platforms.

This workshop aims at discussing the renewed problematics of  parallel
programming, given these new trends in processor architecture. It is open to
all researchers, academic or industrial, who are working in the field of
Parallel Programming. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

 - Parallel Languages and Libraries.
 - Tools for parallel programming: debuggers, libraries and performance 
analyzers.
 - Compilers.
 - Scheduling.
 - Influence of the architectural design on the performance of a parallel 
program.
 - Models for Parallel Programming.
 - Programmation of GPUs.
 - Performance Evaluation.
 - Parallel Applications.

The authors are invited to submit original papers of 6 pages maximum, in PDF
format with 5-10 keywords following the IEEE two-column format (available at
http://www.computer.org/portal/pages/cscps/cps/cps_forms.html). The final
version of the accepted papers will be published by IEEE Computer Society 
Press
with the proceedings of the CSE-08 workshops. 

The papers should be submitted through the Easy Chair system, following the 
link:
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=impar08. Submission implies the
willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper.
For no-show authors, their papers will be removed from the digital library
after the conference and their affiliations will receive a notification.

Important dates:
 * Paper submission due: March, 1st.
 * Notification of Acceptance: April, 1st.
 * Final Camera Ready paper: April, 25th.

[NotiAMCA] Doctorado en George Mason Univ. (USA)

[Victorio Sonzogni]

Estimados Victorio, Mario,

Quisiera pedirles si pueden distribuir el siguiente aviso que te mando
adjunto
para realizar doctorados en Ciencias Computacionales aca en George Mason
University (Virginia - USA).

Tenemos fondos como para uno o dos estudiantes para trabajar en
modelado numerico de flujos sanguineos en aneurismas cerebrales.

Muchas gracias y un saludo,

George Mason University

Graduate Research Assistantships
Graduate research assistantships are available to pursue a PhD in 
Computational Sciences at the Center for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), 
George Mason University, Fairfax, Virginia, USA under the supervision of 
Prof. Juan R. Cebral.

The candidate will conduct research in Computational Hemodynamics (blood 
flows) applied to cerebral aneurysms. The aim of this research is to better 
understand the mechanisms responsible for the initiation, evolution and 
rupture of brain aneurysms, which is a devastating disease affecting a 
substantial portion of the population. Better understanding of these 
processes will help medical doctors to improve patient evaluation (better 
assess the rupture risk of a given aneurysm) and personalizing treatment 
plans (select the best therapeutic options available to treat a given 
aneurysm). For these purposes, we develop and use advanced computational 
methods to construct patient-specific models of the blood flow in brain 
aneurysms from three-dimensional medical images. Then, we relate the 
hemodynamics variables such as the wall shear stress derived from these 
models to clinical observations indicative of aneurysm wall weakness such as
wall pulsation, aneurysm growth, bleb formation, rupture, etc.

This highly multidisciplinary research involves medical image processing, 
geometry modeling, meshing, computational fluid dynamics, visualization and 
computer graphics, high performance computing as well as clinical 
investigation.

This research is supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health 
(NIH) ? National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), the 
American Heart Association (AHA), and medical industry companies such as 
Philips Medical Systems and Boston Scientific. These projects are carried out 
in the context of close collaborations with clinical centers, universities 
and national laboratories including the Interventional Neuroradiology Unit of 
Inova Fairfax Hospital in Virginia, Interventional Neuroradiology at 
University of of California Los Angeles, the Department of Technology of the 
Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona, and the Laboratory for Computational 
Physics at the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington DC.

The successful candidate should be highly motivated, be able to work 
independently, be comfortable working in multidisciplinary teams, be able to 
collaborate with researchers and clinicians from a number of institutions, 
and possess excellent communication skills. He/she should have strong 
background in mathematics, sciences, and computing.

[NotiAMCA] Short Course on Particle-Based Methods

[Victorio Sonzogni]

Short Course on

Particle-Based Methods 

Fundamentals and Applications

 

14-16 May 2008, Barcelona, Spain

 




The objective of the course is to present the fundamental basis and the
applicability of a number of particle-based computational methods that can
be effectively used for solving a variety of problems in engineering and
applied sciences.

 

The methods described in the course include the discrete element method
(DEM) the smooth particle hydrodynamic method (SPH)  and the particle finite
element method (PFEM). The coupling of these methods with standard numerical
procedures such as the finite element method (FEM) and also with meshless
techniques will be emphazised. The applications of the particle-based
methods presented in the course cover the analysis of geomechanical and
mining problems, metal forming processes, fluid-structure interaction
problems accounting for free surface flow effects in civil and marine
engineering (water streams acting on constructions, wave loads in harbours
and marine structures, ship hydrodinamics, etc.), nano-micro-macroscopic
effects in material science and bio-medical engineering, melting of polymers
in fire situations and many others.

Ted Belytschko
Chair Honors Committee
The IACM Congress Medal (Gauss-Newton Medal) is the highest award given by
IACM.  It honors individuals who have made outstanding, sustained
contributions in the field of computational mechanics generally over periods
representing substantial portions of their professional careers.  The medal
is bronze and carries the images of Newton and Gauss in recognition of the
synergy between mathematics, numerical analysis, and mathematical modeling
of physical events that underpin much of the broad field of computational
mechanics.
The IACM Award is given in recognition of outstanding and sustained
contributions to the broad field of computational mechanics.  These
contributions shall generally be in the form of important research results
which significantly advance the understanding of theories and methods
impacting computational mechanics, but special individual contributions in
leadership and administration, industrial applications, and engineering
analysis that advance computational mechanics shall also represent
accomplishments worthy of recognition.
The IACM Award for Computational Mechanics will be given for contributions
to traditional areas, such as computational structural mechanics and
computational fluid dynamics, but may also be given to recognize
contributions outside these specific areas.  For example, the Award may be
given in recognition of accomplishments in software development, scientific
computing, research contributions in computational electromagnetics,
semi-conductor device simulation, biomechanics or other areas not
traditionally embraced by computational structural mechanics and fluid
dynamics but which have general applicability to computational mechanics.
The IACM Award for Young Investigators in Computational Mechanics recognizes
outstanding accomplishments, particularly outstanding published papers, by
researchers 40 or younger.  Eligibility requires that the nominee not turn
41 in the year the award is presented.
The Fellows Award recognized individuals with a distinguished record of
research, accomplishment and publication in areas of computational mechanics
and demonstrated support of the IACM through membership and participation in
the Association, its meetings and activities.

Dear Colleague,

We are pleased to inform you about the Advanced School on Numerical
Solutions of Partial Differential Equations: New Trends and Applications.
This school on simulation and numerical analysis of Partial Differential
equations (PDEs) is aimed at master students, PhD students, recent PhD
doctorates, and researchers in general willing to update their knowledge
with recent developments on numerical techniques that play an important role
in the international scene. The school is the first of a series, born with
the objective of being an occasion for researchers to catch up with
important developments in the field and/or to get in touch with
state-of-the-art numerical techniques that are not covered in usual PhD
courses at national level.

The courses and speakers of the Advanced school are:

1. Wavelets and wavelet-like techniques in the numerical solution of Partial
Differential Equations by Silvia Bertoluzza, Consiglio Nazionale delle
Ricerche - Pavia, Italy.

2. Discontinuous Galerkin Methods for Systems Conservation Laws by Jaume
Peraire, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA. 

3. High order shock capturing schemes for balance laws by Giovanni Russo,
Università di Catania, Italy. 

4. Discontinuous Galerkin Methods: General Approach and Stability by
Chi-Wang Shu, Brown University, USA.

You are invited to visit the Conference website at
http://www.crm.cat/ASPDEs/
for updated information about the Advanced school organization. 

There are a limited number of grants covering accommodation addressed to
young researchers. The deadline for application is September 22, 2007.

 Resumen

 En la primera parte discutiremos el actual paradigma multiscala para la
 simulación de propiedades mecánicas de materiales, cuyo objetivo es
 relacionar modelos formulados a distintas escalas, con el fin de obtener
 predicciones de comportamiento mecánico que contengan la mayor cantidad
 posible de información microestructural.

 A continuación nos concentraremos en la escala mesoscópica y presentaremos
 un método numérico basado en la Transformada Rápida de Fourier (FFT) para
 obtener los campos micromecánicos en policristales tridimensionales
 deformados plásticamente. Mostraremos: a) predicciones de evolución de
 orientaciones y desorientaciones promedio en los granos de un policristal 
 de
 cobre, deformado en tracción, utilizando imágenes obtenidas por medio de
 Microscopía de Imágenes de Orientación (OIM) y b) cómo la anterior
 formulación "de campo completo" puede ser utilizada para evaluar la
 precisión de distintos métodos de homogeneización (o "de campo medio")
 disponibles para la predicción del comportamiento mecánico de 
 policristales.

disponíveis para os usuários 24 horas por dia, 7 dias por semana. Além disso,
disponibiliza aproximadamente 5 Petabytes (5 milhões de Gigabytes) em
armazenamento, e mantém em média 20.000 jobs concorrentes. Tal disponibilidade
de recursos muda a forma como se faz pesquisa científica.  Esta infraestrutura
habilita ocientista a juntar organizações virtuais, a compartilhar seus
recursos e a criar e usar aplicações sobre a mesma.



As primeiras aplicações a usar a infraestrutura de Grid EGEE foram das áreas 
de
física e biomedicine, mas a EGEE agora também apoia aplicações de muitos 
outros
domínios científicos, tais como astrofísica, química computacional, ciências 
da
terra, fusão, geofísica, processamento sísmico, geografia, bibliotecas 
digitais
e arqueologia. Além disso, há muitas aplicações do setor industrial atualmente
executando sobre a EGEE, tais como aplicações da geofísica e da indústria
plástica.



A primeira edição da Escola de Grid, foi realizada com sucesso no ano passado,
em conjunto com o Vecpar 2006 (http://vecpar.fe.up.pt/2006/school.html). A
organização da 2ª. Escola de Grid é motivada pelo incentivo que o governo, em
especial o CNPq vem dando para a adoção de tecnologias baseadas em grids.
Diversos grids começam a ser formados, e iniciativas do Brasil junto à Europa
também são realidade (por exemplo através do EELA - http://www.eu-eela.org/).
Entretanto, o uso da tecnologia de grids envolve uma série de conceitos novos 
e
o uso de um conjunto de ferramentas que não são simples de instalar e 
utilizar.
A 2ª. Escola de Grid vem apoiar os primeiros passos na familiarização com essa
infra-estrutura, além de disponibilizar o uso de um grid europeu para fins
acadêmicos aos participantes da mesma.



A 2ª. Escola de Grid será ministrada por Gergely Sipos, que desenvolve 
pesquisa
em grid no contexto de vários projetos internacionais.

[NotiAMCA] Conferencia: Hemodinamica Computacional de Aneurismas Cerebrales

[Victorio Sonzogni]

Universidad Tecnológica Nacional -Facultad Regional Buenos Aires
Secretaria de Ciencia y Tecnología

El Grupo de Investigación en Métodos Numéricos en Ingeniería invita a la
conferencia sobre

HEMODINAMICA COMPUTACIONAL DE ANEURISMAS CEREBRALES

expositor: MARCELO A. CASTRO, PhD (George Mason University, USA)

Martes 13 de Marzo a las 19 hs.
Auditorium de la FRBA-UTN - Medrano 951 PB - Buenos Aires

Resumen:

Las aneurismas cerebrales son una patología de alta
prevalencia en la población (alerdedor del 5%). La
ruptura de una aneurisma cerebral usualmente deriva
en un infarto cerebral, provaocando incapacidad a
largo término o muerte.  Los tratamientos preventivos se basan en
intervención quirúrgica (clipping) o embolización (stents y/o coils).
Estos tratamientos presentan un riesgo que en general  puede
superar al riesgo de ruptura que es bajo, por lo tanto es conveniente
tratar sólo a aquellos pacientes con riesgo inminente de ruptura.

Hoy en día, las técnicas neuroradiológicas que son usadas
eficientemente para detectar y tratar aneurismas cerebrales,
no son lo suficientemente complejas como para poder evaluar
el riesgo de ruptura de dichos aneurismas. Por ello se están
haciendo estudios basados en simulaciones numéricas a partir
de imágenes médicas de alta resolución, tratando de determinar
la relación de ciertas caracterizaciones hemodinámicas con el
riesgo de ruptura, así como la optimización de stents.

El Laboratory for Computational Fluid Dynamics perteneciente
al College of Sciences de la George Mason University (Virginia,
USA) ha sido pionero en el desarrollo de métodos numéricos
para resolver la dinámica de fluidos en situaciones altamente
complejas y con condiciones lo mas realistas posibles (ver
sitio del Dr. Rainald Lohner: www.scs.gmu.edu/~rlohner).
En particular, el área de hemodinámica computacional está
enfocada a estudiar problemas relacionados con aneurismas
cerebrales mediante simulaciones numericas a partir de
imagenes de angiografía rotacional (ver sitio del Dr.
Juan Cebral: www.scs.gmu.edu/~jcebral).

La principal colaboración actual del grupo es con el
Departamento de Radiología del INOVA Fairfax Hospital
(Fairfax, Virginia, USA), y el grupo del Dr. Fernando
Viñuela, de la UCLA (Los Angeles, USA). Otras colaboraciones
incluyen el Computational Imaging Laboratoy de la
Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona), y el grupo de
Mecánica Computacional del Instituto Balseiro.

[NotiAMCA] MHM 2007 conference in Prague

[Victorio Sonzogni]

Dear Colleague,

I would like to bring to your attention the ECCOMAS Thematic Conference
on Modelling of Heterogeneous Materials with Applications in
Construction and Biomedical Engineering (MHM 2007),
which will take place on 25-27 June 2007 in Prague.

The aim of this conference is to gather specialists in modelling of 
heterogeneous materials who work in different domains of application but 
face similar general problems. Attention will focus on theoretical 
modelling and numerical simulation on multiple scales, but contributions 
dealing with advanced experimental techniques, especially on the nano- and 
micro-level, will be equally welcome. The specific materials to be 
considered will be e.g. concrete and other cement-based composites, rocks 
and soils, polymers, bones, or soft biological tissues.
The MHM 2007 conference is jointly chaired by Prof. Herbert Mang
(TU Vienna) and Prof. Zdenek Bittnar (CTU Prague).

Please kindly consider attending our conference, which is organized
as a participant-friendly event, with deadline for abstract submission
on January 31 and deadline for early registration on March 31.
All details regarding the topics, registration, accommodation and
abstract submission are posted on the web site
http://mech.fsv.cvut.cz/mhm2007
Let me emphasize that June is the perfect month for visiting Prague,
one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe. At the same
time, MHM 2007 is conceived as a first-class scientific meeting,
with a Scientific Committee consisting of 26 higly reputed international
experts.

I apologize for this unsolicited message and send you my regards,

[NotiAMCA] CMNE/CILAMCE 2007 : Alargamento de prazo

[Victorio Sonzogni]

Caro colega:

A Comissão Organizadora do CMNE/CILAMCE 2007 decidiu adiar a data limite de 
recepção de resumos para o dia 8 de Dezembro de 2006, na sequência de vários 
pedidos que lhe foram endereçados nesse sentido.
A submissão de resumos pode ser feita, desde já, através da página oficial 
do congresso: http://www.fe.up.pt/cmne2007.



CMNE / CILAMCE 2007 é uma organização conjunta das associações Portuguesa 
(APMTAC), Espanhola (SEMNI) e Brasileira (ABMEC) de métodos numéricos e 
computacionais em engenharia.
O congresso CMNE / CILAMCE 2007 decorrerá na Faculdade de Engenharia da 
Universidade do Porto (FEUP) de 13 a 15 de Junho de 2007.

Sobre o congresso:

Culminando um longo período de franca colaboração, a APMTAC - Associação 
Portuguesa de Mecânica Teórica, Aplicada e Computacional e a SEMNI - 
Sociedad Española de Métodos Numéricos en Ingeniería, decidiram fundir os 
congressos que realizavam separadamente nos seus países numa organização 
conjunta. O primeiro congresso desta nova série teve lugar em Madrid (2002), 
seguindo-se os congressos de Lisboa (2004) e Granada (2005). A partir deste 
último adoptaram-se, em definitivo, os nomes de Congresso de Métodos 
Numéricos em Engenharia (CMNE) ou Congreso de Métodos Numéricos en 
Ingeniería (CMNI), conforme o país em que o congresso tenha lugar.

O próximo congresso desta série, CMNE 2007, realizar-se-á no Porto. 
Pretende-se que, na senda das edições anteriores, ele permita o 
aprofundamento da colaboração e entendimento científico entre Portugal e 
Espanha, no âmbito dos métodos numéricos em engenharia. O grande 
desenvolvimento e versatilidade destes métodos tem permitido alargar o 
âmbito das suas aplicações e quebrar barreiras entre diversos ramos da 
engenharia e ciências fundamentais, como está patente na temática do 
congresso.

O CMNE 2007 terá a feliz particularidade de ser realizado em conjunto com o 
prestigiado congresso XXVIII CILAMCE - Congresso Ibero Latino-Americano 
sobre Métodos Computacionais em Engenharia, organizado anualmente pela 
ABMEC - Associação Brasileira de Métodos Computacionais em Engenharia que, 
para o efeito, se deslocará ao Porto. A congregação destes dois congressos 
em 2007 permitirá aprofundar as relações científicas e cooperação futura 
entre as comunidades científicas dos três países dos dois lados do 
Atlântico.

O CMNE/CILAMCE 2007 será pois um fórum de discussão dos avanços recentes e 
direcções futuras dos métodos numéricos e computacionais em engenharia, 
aberto a investigadores, estudantes e profissionais interessados no seu 
desenvolvimento e aplicação. A participação de congressistas dos diversos 
países da América Latina é particularmente bem vinda e encorajada.

PLASTICITY 2007,THE ALYESKA PRINCE HOTEL, ALASKA,
June 2-6, 2007
FIRST CIRCULAR (Dated September 30, 2006)

The 13th International Symposium on Plasticity will be held in beautiful
Alyeska Prince Hotel (the only four diamond resort in Alaska, 40 miles
south of Anchorage), from June 2 to 6, 2007. This Symposium series is
the prime forum for plasticity research dissemination as usually around
400 scientists from around the world participate in this conference. The
symposium will focus on multi-scale computational plasticity, plasticity
of emerging materials (nanocrystalline solids, thin films, biomaterials,
polymers etc.) and micro mechanics of plastic deformation and texture
evolution, including materials science aspects, metal forming, and
elastic-plastic damage mechanics. However, presentations in any area of
plasticity will be welcomed, especially experimental and materials
science studies related to plastic deformation. Thus topics of interest
include plastic and viscoplastic behaviors of single crystals and
polycrystalline metals, nanocrystalline metals, thin films,
biomaterials, ceramics, ice, rocks and soils, composite materials and
polymers, as well as plasticity aspects of damage, failure and fracture
mechanics.  Symposium presentations must be original unpublished
research related to experimental, numerical or theoretical analyses of
the inelastic behavior of solids subjected to quasi-static, dynamic or
cyclic thermo-mechanical loading.

A three-page summary/compact paper will be printed in a CD proceedings
and available at the symposium for quick dissemination of your research.
The optional full-length papers are published in the International
Journal of Plasticity after the standard peer review process and
acceptance, for archival reference. The journal has the highest impact

factor among all solid mechanics journals in 2002, 2004 & 2005. Please
see the internet for the journal details at:

www.elsevier.com/locate/ijplas/

The full-length papers should be submitted for publication consideration
anytime from six months before to six months after the symposium. We
expect this symposium to be as outstanding, both technically and
socially, as its predecessors, including the one in Whistler (July
2000), Aruba (Jan. 2002), Quebec City (July 2003),  Kauai (January 2005)
and Halifax (July 2006).

THE LOCATION AND HOTEL

The symposium will be held at the only four diamond resort in Alaska,
The Prince Alyeska Hotel. See details at:
http://www.alyeskaresort.com/

Anchorage airport has direct flights from major US, Canadian, Asian and
European cities, and connections through Seattle.  A block of rooms has
been set aside at a very
special rate (king/double at $ 160 for moderate rooms, $ 170 for deluxe
rooms, and $180 for summit rooms,  per night, plus 12%tax and a resort
service fee of $10 per day; the resort fee provides free wireless
internet service in the lobby, a shuttle to local restaurants,  pool &
fitness center access, in-room premium coffee and incoming faxes), even
for this peak season; the regular rate is more than double of the
symposium rate. More information will be provided for reservation after
we receive your acceptance.
Alaska in general, and area around Alyeska resort in particular, is
famous for its unspoiled natural beauty; come and watch huge chunks of
glaciers breaking and falling in the ocean (an incredible sound and
sight) .

PRESENTATIONS AND REGISTRATION FEE

The presentations will include key-note invited lectures and invited
presentations in each of four or five parallel sessions. The invited
key-note lecture of 40 minutes duration is expected to give an overview
of the subject with almost 20 minutes being devoted to the results of
other researchers. Invited presentations will be allotted 20 minutes.
All presentations, including invited lectures, must contain a
significant amount of unpublished results. A session of two hours will
normally include one lecture and four invited talks. Computer projectors
will be available for your presentation.

A registration form for registration fees and mailing information will
be sent later. Please send a line indicating your interest as soon as
possible, preferably by return e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Kindly follow the deadlines given below.
