Computational methods have been playing crucial roles in diverse fields such as mechanical, civil electrical and electronic engineering. The Japan-China Symposium on Boundary Element Methods (1987, 1988, 1990, 1991, 1993, 1994, 1996, 1998) held in Japan and China, First Pan-Pacific Conference on Computational Engineering (PCCE93, 1993) in Seoul Korea, and the First Asia-Pacific International Conference in Computational Methods in Engineering 2003 (ICOME2003) in Sapporo Japan, have made substantial contribution on the computational methods. It is our great pleasure to announce that, following these successful conferences, the Second Asia-Pacific International Conference in Computational Methods in Engineering 2006 (ICOME2006) will be held in Hefei, China to make eager discussion on recent development and exchange the latest ideas. One of the prior aims of this conference is to assimilate the newest computational methods which have independently been developed in the computational mechanics and electromagnetism for co-evolution of both fields. Emphasis is also placed on the application of the latest approaches to computational methods, such as knowledge-based technique, machine learning, soft computing, parallel and grid computation and Web-based distributed computation which will open the door to future computer aided design.

Conference Location

The conference will be held in Hefei, China, the capital city of Anhui province. The conference will be hosted by the University of Science and Technology of China, a famous University in China, and it is also world well-known.

Post-Conference Tour

A two-days Post-Conference Tour (Nov. 17-18) to Yellow Mountain will be organized. The Yellow Mountain, or Huangshan, is located in the south of Anhui province in eastern China. Famous for its magnificent landscape, the mountain has been ranked as one of the ten best scenic spots in China by public votes. The scenic landscape with soaring peaks and elegant pine trees will convince you that it is the most beautiful mountain in China.

Call for Papers
Papers are invited on the topics related to the computational engineering. Abstract of approximately 500 words in PDF format, or in plain text format when no equations and figures are included, should be submitted electronically to the conference organize demyzh@tsinghua.edu.cn
