NEC-LIST: Call for papers: CEM & HPC

With the 13th ACES conference coming up this week in Monterey (17-21
March), it's appropriate to remind NEC-LIST subscribers of the following
upcoming ACES Special Issue. Please note the deadline for the special
issue: 1 JULY 1997.

                      CALL FOR PAPERS

THE APPLIED COMPUTATIONAL ELECTROMAGNETICS SOCIETY ANNOUNCES A
SPECIAL ISSUE OF THE ACES JOURNAL ON:

   COMPUTATIONAL ELECTROMAGNETICS AND HIGH-PERFORMANCE COMPUTING

The Applied Computational Electromagnetics Society is pleased to
announce the publication of a 1998 Special Issue of the
ACES Journal on Computational Electromagnetics and
High-Performance Computing. The primary objective of this special
issue is to present a survey of the present state of the art of
high-performance computing applied to computational
electromagnetics.

Papers submitted should concentrate on computational aspects of
electromagnetics: these include problem sizes; operation counts;
parallel algorithms; and hardware aspects (although the last
should avoid great technicalities). High-performance computing
includes supercomputing, high-performance workstations and
multi-processor networks. Complete simulation packages that
consider the integration of mesh generation, electromagnetic
solvers, and post-processing are especially relevant. Algorithm
developments (such as the Fast Multipole Method) are only
appropriate in this context if specifically related to high
speed computation. Similarly, papers dealing only with high
speed computation, without a CEM application, will be of limited
suitability.

SUGGESTED TOPICS

Supercomputers
High-performance workstations
Multi-processor networks
Performance modelling
Parallel environments - especially portable ones such as PVM.
Optimization methods
Adaptive methods
Computational Electromagnetics applications including:
Moment Method/Integral and Integro-Differential Equation methods;
Finite Element method; Finite Difference Time Domain method;
Transmission Line Modelling method; asymptotic methods (GTD, UTD etc);
other methods such as MMP; linear algebra techniques for these methods
where appropriate.

DEADLINE FOR PAPERS IS JULY 1, 1997
