The goal of the 8th International Meshing Roundtable is to bring together researchers and developers from industry, academia, and government labs in a stimulating, open environment for the exchange of technical information related to meshing and general pre-processing techniques. Previous Roundtables (Chicago, Illinois, 1992, Albuquerque, New Mexico, 1993-1995, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 1996, Salt Lake City, Utah, 1997, and Dearborn, Michigan, 1998) have enjoyed significant participation from each of these groups from a large number of countries. This year's poster session will be sponsored by Major Shared Resource Centers (MSRC) established by the Department of Defense (DOD) High Performance Computing Modernization Office (HPCMO) and the International Society of Grid Generation (ISGG, http://www.erc.msstate.edu/isgg/) to encourage more participants from the grid generation research and user community. EVENTS ------ Events at this year's roundtable will include: * Technical presentations from contributed papers * Keynote and invited speakers * Poster session with "Best Poster" and "Meshing Maestro" awards on top of Heavenly Mountain overlooking Lake Tahoe. * Birds-of-a-feather session which will provide a discussion forum for small groups of researchers working in similar fields * Panel discussion * Dinner banquet and cruise aboard a paddlewheel boat cruising Lake Tahoe In addition, this year's conference will include a new feature: * Pre-conference Short Course on Sunday, October 10 More information on the Roundtable, as it becomes available, can be found on the International Meshing Roundtable WWW page at: http://www.cfd.sandia.gov/8imr.html IMPORTANT DATES --------------- June 13, 1999 Full paper due August 1, 1999 Acceptance/rejection notices sent to authors August 22, 1999 Final, camera-ready papers due September 10, 1999 Early conference registration due and hotel reservation due for special discount rates Oct. 10-13, 1999 8th International Meshing Roundtable South Lake Tahoe, California, USA CALL FOR PAPERS --------------- Papers are being sought that present original results on meshing, grid generation, and other pre-processing techniques. In addition to our core topics in meshing related algorithms, we are also interested in obtaining technical papers that relate analysis and application solution to the mesh generation process. Potential topics include but are not limited to: * Volume and surface mesh generation * Structured grid generation * CAD Interface for meshing and grid generation * Hybrid meshing * Anisotropic mesh generation * Mesh smoothing and optimization * Mesh quality control * Adaptive mesh refinement * Geometry decomposition and clean-up * Geometry simplification for meshing * Industrial robustness and complex geometries * Large mesh manipulation * Theoretical or novel ideas with practical potential * Technical presentations from industrial researchers * Parallel algorithms * Mesh visualization * Parameterized model construction PAPER SUBMISSIONS ----------------- Papers should contain significant technical content to be accepted. No paper will be accepted for publication without an accompanying presentation at the conference. Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings and may also be available on the website pending author approval. Papers should be 6-12 pages in length (9 point, two columns) and received by June 13, 1999. Paper submissions will be accepted in Microsoft Word, postscript or PDF, by electronic submission only. A template for paper submission will be provided at the 8IMR website. Papers can be transferred by anonymous ftp to endo.sandia.gov (place in directory pub/incoming/tjtautg/imr99/) or can be emailed to tjtautg@sandia.gov. Files transferred via anonymous ftp should be named as follows to avoid name collisions on the ftp site: names should start with the primary author's initials, followed by a hyphen, followed by the last four digits of the author's phone number. Immediately after placing a paper on the ftp site, the author should send email to Tim Tautges (tjtautg@sandia.gov) with the paper title and file name.
