Welcome
The NSF-supported conference Finite Element Methods in Engineering and Science (FEMTEC 2006) will take place at the University of Texas at El Paso on December 11 - 15, 2006.
The goal of FEMTEC 2006 is to advance the frontiers in performance and reliability of finite element methods, as well as in their application to computational engineering and science. The main topics of the meeting will include the following areas of emerging importance:
Main Topics
- Reliability, validation, and verification of FEM models
- Uncertainty: Interval and probabilistic FEM
- Higher-order methods: Spectral and hp-FEM
- Enriched and extended methods (X-FEM)
- Advanced engineering and scientific applications
Participation of students, young researchers, women, underrepresented minorities and people with disabilities is encouraged. A limited number of travel grants is available.
Book of Abstracts
The Book of Abstracts was finished and it can be downloaded in PDF format. A hardcopy will be distributed to participants at registration.
Presentations
- Invited plenary lectures: 50 minutes followed by 10 minutes of discussion.
- Contributed talks: 25 minutes followed by 5 minutes of discussion.
- Poster presentations: Posters will be exhibited during the entire meeting. Maximum format of a poster is A0 (33.11 X 46.81 inches, 841 X 1189 mm). Best poster prize will be awarded during Thursday's afternoon session.
Proceedings
The proceedings will appear as a special issue of J. Comput. Appl. Math. (JCAM). All papers will be subject to standard external review process. To be considered for the proceedings, every paper must exactly match JCAM's standards. Please read the instructions and use this Latex class file and template. Page limits: 20 pages for invited keynote speakers, 12 pages for contributed papers. All papers should be sent via e-mail in PDF format to femtec@math.utep.edu no later than on February 28, 2007. Acceptance/rejection notification is expected until March 31, 2007. Papers originated in posters and oral contributions will be subject to the same acceptance criteria.
