Subject: Conference in Germany on PDEs and Scientific Computing

Indo-German conference on PDE, Scientific Computing and Applications,
Trier, Sept. 8-10, 2004

Scope:
Scientific Computing in the context of partial differential equations,
optimization and specific applications is a very active field of research,
both in Germany and in India - and, of course, also in other parts
of the world. This conference focusses on a bilateral exchange of
knowledge thus posssibly initiating future joint research activities.
Particular application areas are aerodynamics and environmental
engineering, where a high level of expertise will be present
at the conference. As can be seen from the list of invited speakers,
contributions from other countries and also from other fields
of Scientific Computing are highly welcome as well in this open conference.

The deadline for abstract submission is June 30, 2004.

More details and a web registration form can be obtained at

Best regards,
Volker Schulz
