FEMTEC 2009
PROCEEDINGS
The proceedings of FEMTEC 2009 will appear as a special issue of the Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics (JCAM). The Elsevier Editorial System (EES) has already been set up to accept FEMTEC papers. When submitting a paper, the author should select Special Issue FEMTEC 2009 as Article Type and also as Section/Category. The deadline for paper submission is the end of March 2009, and maximum length of any contributed paper is 15 pages. JCAM formatting must be followed exactly. The corresponding Latex class and template files can be downloaded from here. All papers must be submitted on-line through EES. Every paper will be subject to a standard review process.
Thank you for participating and see you, perhaps, at the next FEMTEC conference that will take place at Lake Tahoe in May 2011!
We are pleased to announce the second international conference on Finite Element Methods in Engineering and Science (FEMTEC 2009), to be held at the Granlibakken conference center at Lake Tahoe on January 5 - 9, 2009. The meeting is organized jointly by the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) and University of Nevada at Reno (UNR), and its goal is to advance the frontiers in performance and reliability of finite element methods, as well as in their advanced applications in computational engineering and science. The home page of the previous FEMTEC 2006 can be found here.
Software workshop
Wednesday's afternoon will be devoted to a hands-on software workshop and discussion of algorithmic and programming aspects of FEM. These topics are extremely important from the practical point of view but often neglected in standard FEM talks. Details about the workshop including brief description of the featured open source projects along with download and installation instructions, and support e-mails, can be found here. Note: In order to participate in the workshop, please bring your laptop with the software packages already installed. There will not be enough time to deal with installation issues during the conference.
There will be four sections devoted to FeatFlow, Hermes, PLTMG, and Sympy. Please let us know by e-mail (femtec2009 AT math DOT utep DOT edu) the projects you are interested in. This will help us to plan the the afternoon program efficiently -- Thank you!

Main topics
The scope of the meeting includes the following areas of emerging importance:
- FEM for multi-scale and multi-physics problems, model adaptivity
- Adaptivity and error control for evolutionary problems
- Higher-order adaptive FEM (hp and spectral)
- Meshfree FEM, generalized FEM, enriched and extended FEM
- Advanced engineering and scientific applications
- Reliability, validation, and verification of FEM models
- Sensitivity analysis and uncertainty quantification
Presentations
- Invited plenary lectures: 50 minutes followed by 10 minutes of discussion.
- Contributed talks: 25 minutes followed by 5 minutes of discussion.
- Poster presentations: Posters will be exhibited during the entire meeting. Maximum format of a poster is A0 (33.11 X 46.81 inches, 841 X 1189 mm).
