International Conference on Spectral and High-Order Methods 2004 - ICOSAHOM'04

研究人员提议于2004年6月21-25日在布朗大学组织下一次关于“光谱和高阶方法(ICOSAHOM‘04)”的国际会议。这次会议讨论的算法主题很多，而且是新的，吸引了谱方法、h-p有限元、ENO格式、高阶有限差分和小波等领域的大多数领先研究人员。有九名确认的主旨发言人(由科学委员会投票选出)，其中四人来自美国，两人是女性。它们将涵盖的主题包括：小波、h-p有限元、奇异解、电磁学、非牛顿流动、反问题、不确定性、海洋建模、快速求解器和高阶有限差分。谱和高阶方法在空气声学、电磁和光学、海洋和气候模拟等各种重要应用中变得越来越重要。作为一种模拟工具，这些方法继续变得越来越重要，并引起了全球的关注。拟议的会议是一长串会议的一部分，它仍然是讨论这些方法和展示新的令人兴奋的应用程序的主要会议。此外，传统上强调让许多年轻研究人员以及代表性不足的少数群体和妇女参与进来。作为一种新事物，会议将以圆桌讨论结束，由受邀演讲者、小型会议组织者以及来自国家实验室和行业的研究人员组成。其目的是讨论和向NSF报告高阶和其他离散化方法的公开问题和未来算法和应用趋势，以及它们在国家利益应用中的潜力。

The investigators propose to organize the next International Conference on "Spectral And High-Order Methods (ICOSAHOM'04)" on June 21-25 2004 at Brown University. The algorithmic themes addressed in this conference are many and new, and attract most leading researchers in spectral methods, h-p finite elements, ENO schemes, high-order finite differences, and wavelets. There are nine confirmed keynote speakers (selected by voting by the scientific committee), four of whom are from USA, and two are women. The topics they will cover are: wavelets, h-p finite elements, singular solutions, electromagnetics, non-Newtonian flows, inverse problems, uncertainty, ocean modeling, fast solvers, and high-order finite differences. Spectral and high-order methods have become increasingly important in diverse and important applications as aeroacoustics, electromagnetics and optics, ocean and climate modeling. These methods continue to grow in importance as a simulation tool and attract global attention. The proposed conference, part of a long series, continues to be the main meeting where such methods are discussed and new and exciting applications displayed. Furthermore, emphasis is traditionally placed on involving many young researchers as well as underrepresented minorities and women. As a new thing, the conference will conclude with a round-table discussion consisting of a mix of invited speakers, minisymposia organizers, and researchers from national labs and industry. The objective is to discuss and report to NSF the open issues and future algorithmic and application trends of high-order and other discretization methods and their potential in applications of national interest.
