Minisymposia:
(back to top)
A collection of topical minisymposia forms the backbone of the Congress's
technical program. A minisymposium consists of one or more technical
sessions that focus on specific topics or research areas in Computational
Mechanics. The technical sessions provide a flexible format that accommodates
both keynote presentations and regular conference papers. Each technical
session contains five 24-minute time slots; a keynote will be allocated
two time slots (including time for questions), while a regular paper
is allocated one slot.
 Volunteer
minisymposium organizers will develop each minisymposium. The organizers
are responsible for the technical content of their minisymposium; they
select invited participants and review abstracts of contributed papers.
They serve as the point of contact for each minisymposium and act as liaisons
to the Technical Program Chairs
. The minisymposium organizers are responsible for collecting and editing
print-ready abstracts from the minisymposium authors and for transmitting
them for publication in the Congress proceedings. Web-based tools will
facilitate the process of collecting, reviewing and transmitting the abstracts.
Call
for Minisymposium Proposals: (back
to top)
The Technical Program Chairs invite proposals for minisymposia from the
Computational Mechanics community. All proposals
must be submitted electronically from this web site using the Minisymposium
Proposal Form . A proposal consists of a title, a list of organizers,
estimates of the numbers of keynotes and papers, and a brief abstract
(500 words or less) that describes the topical content of the minisymposium
and explains the significance of the proposed topic. There should be at
least two organizers for each minisymposium; it is desirable that they
represent more than one institution. Please consider including both U.S.
and international scientists as organizers, where appropriate. A help
page is available for the Minisymposium Proposal Form.
The
minisymposium proposal deadline is October 1, 2002.
Notification of the final selection of minisymposia will be given no later
than October 15, 2002. Please visit the Minisymposium Proposal Form .
