Mathematical Sciences: Seventh International Conference on Domain Decomposition in Scientific and Engineering Computing, Penn State University, October 27-30, 1993

第七届科学与工程计算领域分解方法国际会议将于1993年10月27日至30日在宾夕法尼亚州立大学举行。区域分解是指在计算机上模拟大规模科学与工程系统的一类方法。使用分而治之的策略，通过将大量较小问题的解决方案组合在一起来获得大规模问题的解决方案，区域分解提供了使用传统求解方法模拟即使对于当今功能强大的超级计算机来说也过于庞大和复杂的系统的可能性。这些问题包括长期气候预测和全球变化研究，以及空间飞行器和结构的设计。在计算科学家、工程师和数学家中，区域分解技术现在引起了特别强烈的兴趣，因为它们很好地适应了新兴的高性能计算机体系结构。本次会议将召集区域分解及其相关领域的学术和工业研究人员，以传播最新进展并促进从区域分解算法分析和验证的基础理论研究到具体工业应用等领域的进一步发展。会议将加强学术界和产业界之间的技术转移，并为学生和青年科学家和工程师提供机会，参与这一重要的新计算方法课程。特别鼓励研究生、青年研究人员、妇女、少数群体和残疾人参加会议并发表论文。本次会议的论文集将由美国数学学会出版，有望成为领域分解研究人员和用户的重要资源。

The Seventh International Conference on Domain Decomposition Methods in Scientific and Engineering Computing will be held at Penn State University from October 27 to 30, 1993. Domain decomposition refers to a class of methods for the simulating large-scale scientific and engineering systems on computers. Using a divide-and conquer strategy to obtain the solution to a massive problem by combining the solutions to numerous smaller ones, domain decomposition offers the possibility of simulating systems that are too large and complex even for today's powerful supercomputers using conventional solution methods. Such problems include long term climate prediction and the study of global change and the design of space vehicles and structures. Among computational scientist, engineers, and mathematicians, domain decomposition techniques are of particularly intense interest now because they are well adapted to emerging high performance computer architectures. This conference will convene academic and industrial researchers in domain decomposition and allied areas in order to disseminate recent advances and stimulate further development in areas ranging from basic theoretical research on the analysis and validation of domain decomposition algorithms to specific industrial applications. The conference will enhance the technology transfer between academia and industry, and provide opportunities for students and young scientists and engineers to become involved in this important new class of computational methods. Graduate students, young researchers, women, minorities and people with disabilities are being especially encouraged to attend the conference and to contribute papers. The proceedings of this conference will be published by the American Mathematical Society and are expected to become an important resource for researcher and users of domain decomposition.
