ICOSAHOM 2007 -- Call for Minisymposium proposals

7th International Conference on Spectral and High-Order Methods (ICOSAHOM'07)
June 18-22, 2007, Beijing

http://lsec.cc.ac.cn/~icosahom/

The 7th International Conference on Spectral and High Order Methods (ICOSAHOM) will continue a tradition established through the organization of the 1st ICOSAHOM by C. Canuto and A. Quarteroni in Como, Italy in 1989. This conference continues to be a main conference venue where significant advances and new applications of high-order accurate methods for solving PDE's are presented.

Conference themes include but are not limited to spectral methods, high-order finite difference and finite element methods, h-p finite element methods, discontinuous Galerkin methods, ENO/WENO methods, high-order methods for integral equations, and wavelet based methods.

Applications include problems appearing in electromagnetics, fluid and structural dynamics, climate modeling, inverse problems, efficient solvers and preconditioners for high-order methods, efficient time-stepping techniques, and parallel and computational aspects of spectral and high- order methods.

An integral part of ICOSAHOM'04 will be topic-specific minisymposia, following a tradition that encompasses all previous ICOSAHOM conferences. The purpose  of these minisymposia are several, e.g., presentation of new and exciting developments within the scope of the conference, new areas of applications  in the sciences and engineering, and to emphasize areas of particular recent activity and progress.

We now invite interested reseachers to submit extended abstract for papers  and minisymposia. The deadlines are
