A Request for Support for Students to Attend the Eighth US National Congress on Computational Mechanics

支持学生参加第八届美国全国计算力学大会奥斯汀会议中心，德克萨斯州奥斯汀，2005年7月24日至28日http://compmech.ices.utexas.edu/usnccm8.htmlFunds为支持30多名年轻的计算工程与科学（CES）学生学者参加第八届美国计算力学大会（CES社区最重要的活动之一）的旅行、当地费用和注册提供了支持。2005年大会的主题是“跨越计算工程与科学”。该主题反映了主办机构计算工程与科学研究所的跨学科特征，并加强了扩大传统工程参与的努力，包括应用数学，生物医学工程，纳米科学，计算科学和计算电磁学等。重点将放在需要跨学科方法和使用大型计算机资源的复杂耦合问题上。八大包括64个小型座谈会，构成会议的骨干，预计将是迄今为止最重要的会议。它出现的时候，整个未来的计算科学和计算机模拟正在经历巨大的变化。正在发展的新挑战，如多尺度建模、随机建模，以及在生物医学、国土安全、能源和环境方面的重大应用。这些挑战吸引了世界顶级研究人员参加会议，讨论新的结果、趋势和重要的新发展。

Support for Studentsto Attend the Eighth US National Congress on Computational MechanicsAustin Convention CenterAustin, Texas, July 24-28, 2005http://compmech.ices.utexas.edu/usnccm8.htmlFunds for supporting the travel, local expenses, and registration of over 30 young student-scholars in Computational Engineering and Sciences (CES) to attend the Eight U.S. Congress on Computational Mechanics, one of the most important events in CES community worldwide, have been requested.The 2005 Congress theme is Spanning Computational Engineering and Sciences. The theme reflects the interdisciplinary character of the host institution, the Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences, and reinforces the effort to broaden the traditional engineering participation to include applied mathematics, biomedical engineering, nanoscience, computational sciences, and computational electromagnetics, among others. A major emphasis will be placed on complex coupled problems requiring interdisciplinary approaches and the use of large computer resources.The Eight Congress involves 64 mini-symposia which form the backbone of the meeting, and is expected to be the most important meeting to date.It comes at a time in which the entire future of computational sciences and computer simulations is undergoing dramatic changes.New challenges that are developing such as multi-scale modeling, stochastic modeling, and dramatic applications to biomedicine, homeland security, energy and the environment. These challenges have enticed the world's top researchers to attend the meeting to discuss new results, trends and important new developments.
