Student Paper Competition at the Conference of the International Association for Boundary Element Methods; May 24-26, 2004; Minneapolis, MN

国际边界元方法协会会议学生论文竞赛，2004年pi: Glaucio H. Paulino，Burton和Erma Lewis教授，伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校土木与环境工程系，纽马克实验室，北马修斯大道205号，纽马克实验室，厄巴纳，伊利诺伊州，61801，美国e-mail: paulino@uiuc.edu, url：http://cee.uiuc.edu/paulinoABSTRACTThe边界元法（Boundary Element Method， BEM）近年来在一些重要的工程领域，特别是在力学和先进材料的建模和仿真中已经成为一种成熟的方法。下一届国际边界元方法协会会议（IABEM'2004）将于2004年5月24日至26日在明尼阿波利斯的明尼苏达大学举行。会议促进来自不同学科的科学家和工程师之间的国际合作。在这次会议上，应该有很多研究生参加，而对学生最广泛的宣传将是学生论文比赛！该项目向所有全职学生开放，学生必须是会议论文的主要作者，对论文负有主要责任。他们的作品将由评委委员会评判，评委委员会将把他们的评估提供给最初接受论文提交的“技术计划委员会”。学生论文比赛包括两项主要活动：学生论文比赛和颁奖典礼。在“学生论文会议”中，每位参与者将在学生、顾问、教授、评委和其他感兴趣的会议注册人面前进行口头陈述。在“颁奖典礼”期间，将公布一、二、三等奖，可能会共享。学生论文竞赛将是IABEM会议的一项重要活动。

Student Paper Competition at the Conference of the International Association for Boundary Element Methods, 2004PI: Prof. Glaucio H. Paulino,Burton and Erma Lewis Faculty ScholarDepartment of Civil and Environmental Engineering,University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Newmark Laboratory,205 North Mathews Avenue, Newmark Laboratory, Urbana, IL, 61801, USAe-mail: paulino@uiuc.edu, url: http://cee.uiuc.edu/paulinoABSTRACTThe Boundary Element Method (BEM) has in recent years become an established method in several important areas of engineering, especially in mechanics and advanced materials modeling and simulation. The next Conference of the International Association for Boundary Element Methods (IABEM'2004) will be held at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, from May 24-26, 2004. The Conference promotes international cooperation between scientists and engineers from different disciplines. In this Conference, a good number of graduate students is supposed to participate, and the broadest outreach to the students will be the Student Paper Competition! This program is open to any full time student who is the lead author, with primary responsibility, of a paper at the conference. Their work will be judged by a committee of judges who will provide their assessment to the "Technical Program Committee" that originally accepted the paper submission. Two major events will comprise the Student Paper Competition: the Student Paper Session and the Awards Ceremony. In the "Student Paper Session," each participant will give an oral presentation in the presence of students, advisors, professors, judges, and other interested Conference registrants. During the "Awards Ceremony," the First, Second, and third Prizes will be announced, which may be shared. The Student paper competition will be a major event in the IABEM Conference.
