Meeting on Large-Scale Computation in Materials Simulation Held
April 2000
Anthony Kearsley of the ITL Mathematical and Computational Sciences
Division, along with Professor Shlomo Ta'saan of Carnegie Mellon
University, organized a successful meeting entitled, "Large-Scale
Computations in the Simulations of Materials" on March 30 - April 1,
2000. The meeting was hosted by Carnegie Mellon's Center for
Nonlinear Analysis, an NSF-sponsored research and training center
concentrating in nonlinear analysis, mechanics, scientific
computation, and mathematical finance. The meeting, which took place
on the campus of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, was funded
by the NSF and the Army Research Office. This highly
interdisciplinary meeting, brought together about 120 scientists from
a wide spectrum of academic, government, and industrial and
laboratories where contemporary challenges imposed by advances in
industry, technology, and bio-medical sciences are being confronted
with state-of-the-art mathematical and computational tools. The
topics covered were wide-ranging, from the simulation of micromagnetic
materials to prediction of nerve transmissions and blood flow.
