2nd Symposium on Trends in Unstructured Mesh Generation
August 4-6, 1999
University of Colorado, Boulder
Boulder, CO
Scope of Symposium
Abstracts and papers are invited dealing with all aspects of
unstructured
mesh generation, including, but not limited to:
- all-hex or hex-dominant meshing
- mesh sweeping
- tet meshing
- tri or quad surface meshing
- mesh strategies for shape optimization
- mesh control schemes
- adaptive meshing algorithms
- a priori mesh quality improvement
- geometry decomposition
- repair and/or simplification techniques for CAD geometry
- parallel implementations
- p-element (coarse) meshing
- mesh smoothing
- large mesh manipulation and storage.
Abstract Submission
Abstracts are required for the conference and will be included in
the
conference proceedings. For format information, see:

Submit a one page electronic version of your abstract by
January 5, 1999
to Dr. Scott A. Canann,
scott.canann@ansys.com Feel free to call
(724) 514-2981, if you have any questions. You can also ftp them to

address
Place the file in /pub/mesh) and send an email to Dr. Scott Canann
to let know him that it is there.
Paper Submission
For inclusion in this symposia, full length papers (in addition to
the one
page abstract) are requested, but not required. While the
conference
proceedings will only contain abstracts, a collection of the final
papers
are tentatively planned to be combined into a special edition of
the
International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering.
All papers
must be submitted by March 29, 1999.
Submitted papers should conform to guidlines outlined by
International
Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering. See Instructions for
Authors
at: http://www.interscience.wiley.com/jpages/0029-5981/authors.html.
Electronic papers should be submitted to Dr. Scott Canann via
email or anonymous ftp.
EMAIL OR FTP SUBMISSION OF A POSTSCRIPT FILE IS REQUIRED
FOR BOTH THE ABSTRACT AND THE PAPER.
