ACES '97 CALL FOR PAPERS

        THE APPLIED COMPUTATIONAL ELECTROMAGNETICS SOCIETY

   1997 CALL FOR PAPERS 1997

             The 13th Annual Review of Progress
          in Applied Computational Electromagnetics

                       March 17-21, 1997

        Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, California

"Share Your Knowledge And Expertise With Your Colleagues"

The annual ACES Symposium is an ideal opportunity to participate in a
large gathering of electromagnetic analysis enthusiasts. The purpose
of the Symposium is to bring analysts together to share information
and experience about the practical application of EM analysis using
computational methods. The Symposium offerings include technical
presentations, demonstrations, vendor booths and short courses. All
aspects of electromagnetic computational analysis are represented.
Contact Eric Michielssen for details.

1997 ACES Symposium
Sponsored by ACES, NPS, DOE, U of KY, U of IL, DOD, SIAM and AMTA
In cooperation with: The IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society, the IEEE
Electromagnetic Compatibility Society and USNC/URSI

Papers may address general issues in applied computational electromagnetics,
or may focus on specific applications, techniques, codes, or computational
issues of potential interest to the Applied Computational Electromagnetics
Society membership. Area and topics include:

* Code validation
* Code performance analysis
* Computational studies of basic physics
* Examples of practical code application
* New codes, algorithms, code enhancements, and code fixes
* Computer hardware issues
* Partial list of applications:
         antennas arrays
         radar imaging radar cross section
         shielding bioelectromagnetics
         EMP, EMI/EMC visualization
         materials inverse scattering
         microwave components MIMIC technology
         fiber optics remote sensing & geophysics
         communications systems propagation through plasmas
         eddy currents non-destructive evaluation
         wave propagation

*Partial list of em modeling methods:
         frequency-domain & time-domain techniques
         integral equation & differential equation techniques
         finite difference & finite element analysis
         diffraction theories physical optics
         modal expansions perturbation methods
         hybrid methods moment methods
         wavelet and multipole techniques

INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS AND TIMETABLE

For both the summary and final paper, please supply the following data for
the principal author: name, address, Email address, FAX, and phone
numbers for both work and home.

October 25, 1996: Submission deadline. Submit four copies of a
                     300-500 word summary to the Technical Program
                     Chairman.
November 25, 1996: Authors notified of acceptance.
January 10, 1997: Submission deadline for camera-ready copy. The
                     recommended paper length is 6 pages, with 8 pages
                     as a maximum, including figures.

The registration fee per person for the Symposium will be approximately
$235. The exact fee will be announced at a later date.

STUDENT PAPER CONTEST

The best student paper will receive prizes of a free short course, free
attendance at the 1998 Annual Review, and $200 cash. Students who wish
to be considered for the prize should indicate so when submitting their
abstract.

SHORT COURSES

Short courses will be offered in conjunction with Symposium covering
numerical techniques, computational methods, surveys of EM analysis and
code usage instruction. It is anticipated that short courses will be
conducted principally on Monday, March 17 and Friday, March 21. The fee
for a short course is expected to be approximately $90 per person for a
half-day course and $140 for a full-day course, if booked before March 3,
1997. Full details of the 1997 ACES Symposium will be available by November
1996. Short course attendance is not covered by the Symposium Registration
Fee!

EXHIBITS

Vendor booths and demonstrations will feature commercial products, computer
hardware and software demonstrations, and small company capabilities.
