CALL FOR ABSTRACTS AND PAPERS
        Fifth US National Congress on Computational Mechanics
            2nd Symposium on Unstructured Mesh Generation
                   University of Colorado, Boulder
                          August 4-6, 1999

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, and large mesh manipulation and storage.

Abstracts are required for the conference and will be included in the
conference proceedings.  For format information, see:
http://bechtel.colorado.edu/usccm99/Abstracts.d/Instructions.html

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
anonymous ftp: ftp.ansys.com (login: anonymous  password: email address
Place the file in /pub/mesh) and send an email to Dr. Scott Canann to
let know him that it is there.

For inclusion in this symposia, full length papers (in addition to the
one page abstract) are requested, but not required.  A collection of
the final papers are planned to be combined into a special edition of
the International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering (IJNME).
Papers should all be submitted using the formatting and submission
guidelines given in that journal. Instructions for authors and
information about IJNME may be found at:
http://www.interscience.wiley.com/jpages/0029-5981/
All papers must be submitted to Dr. Cannan by email or anonymous ftp by
MARCH 29, 1999.

EMAIL OR FTP SUBMISSION OF A POSTSCRIPT FILE IS REQUIRED FOR BOTH THE
ABSTRACT AND THE PAPER.
