Pan-American Advanced Studies Institute (PASI) on Computational Science and Engineering; Oaxaca, Mexico; July 2006

这一泛美高级研究所(PASI)奖由美国国家科学基金会和能源部(DOE)共同支持，将于2006年7月在墨西哥瓦哈卡的“Benito Juarez”de Oaxaca自主大学举行，主题为计算科学和工程。该研究所由圣地亚哥州立大学何塞·E·卡斯蒂略博士组织，将包括讲座、短期课程、讨论和动手计算机实验室。它将有来自美国和拉丁美洲的大约40名参与者参加，其中包括研究生和初级和资深调查人员，以及大约8名教员(活跃在该领域的国际公认的科学家)。课程内容将包括计算流体力学、数值优化、并行计算、网格生成、科学可视化和数值线性代数等领域的研究。来自工业界和学术界的著名科学家将就上述和其他适当的主题进行专题演讲。该项目将向学生介绍美国和其他先进国家目前使用的研究方法领域。这些活动将促进西半球计算机和工程科学领域研究人员之间的合作努力。在研究所提交的材料将张贴在指定的网站上，以便进一步向科学界和广大公众传播。

This Pan-American Advanced Studies Institute (PASI) award, jointly supported by the NSF and Department of Energy (DOE), will take place at the Universidad Autonoma "Benito Juarez" de Oaxaca, Mexico, in July 2006 on the topic of computational science and engineering. The Institute, organized by Dr. Jose E. Castillo, San Diego State University, will consist of a combination of lectures, short courses, discussions and hands-on computer labs. It will involve approximately 40 participants from the United States and Latin America, including graduate students and junior and established investigators, and about 8 instructors (internationally recognized scientists, active in the field). The content of the courses will include research in areas of computational fluid dynamics, numerical optimization, parallel computing, grid generation, scientific visualization and numerical linear algebra. Special presentations by renowned scientists from industry and academia on the above and other appropriate topics will be given. The program will introduce students to the realm of current methods of research utilized in the US and other advanced countries. These activities will promote collaborative efforts among researchers in the field of computer and engineering sciences of the western hemisphere. Materials presented at the Institute will be posted in a designated web site for further dissemination to the scientific community and to the public at large.
