***************************************************************
Join us at the 10th International Meshing Roundtable to be held in
warm and sunny Newport Beach, California, on October 7-10, 2001.
In 1992, Sandia National Laboratories started the Meshing Roundtable
as a small meeting of like-minded companies and organizations
striving to establish a common focus for research and development in
the field of mesh and grid generation. Now after 10 consecutive
years, the International Meshing Roundtable has become recognized as
an international focal point annually attended by researchers and
developers from dozens of countries around the world. The relaxed
atmosphere at each Roundtable provides an open and technically rich
environment in which to share new ideas and technical advances.
The International Meshing Roundtable continues to focus on bringing
together researchers and developers from academia, national labs and
industry in a stimulating, open environment to share technical
information related to mesh generation and general pre-processing
techniques. In 2001, Roundtable attendees will enjoy the balmy
weather and breathtaking beaches of Newport Beach, California,
located between Los Angeles and San Diego on the Pacific coast. This
year's conference will be hosted by UGS, Inc. which maintains its
principle development site in Southern California.
EVENTS
------
Events at Roundtable 2001 include:
* Pre-conference short course on Sunday, October 7
* Technical presentations of contributed papers
* Keynote and invited speakers
* Poster session with "Best Technical Poster", "Best Student Poster" and
"Meshing Maestro" awards. We encourage submission of posters presenting
novel research results as well as posters showcasing
state-of-the-art technology
by industry developers and meshing software vendors.
* Birds-of-a-Feather session providing a discussion forum for small groups
of researchers working in similar fields.
* Panel discussion.
* Dinner Banquet
More information on the Roundtable, as it becomes available, will be
published at the International Meshing Roundtable website:
http://www.imr.sandia.gov
FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS
----------------------------
Limited financial support from the National Science Foundation
(www.nsf.gov) will be made available to student attendees from US
academic institutions to defray travel and conference registration
expenses. Awards of funding to students will be based on active
research in mesh generation or interest in meshing as a future
research topic. Funding awards will be prioritized as follows:
* Presentation of a research paper at the conference (accepted
through the regular review process)
* Presentation of a poster at the poster session accompanied by a
brief, written research description
* Submission of a one-page, written statement of interest from
beginning graduate students, signed
by their advisor and/or chairman of their department.
All students must provide a copy of their student ID. Please send all
proposals to Nikos Chrisochoides. More information regarding travel
support for students will be posted on the International Meshing
Roundtable website: http://www.imr.sandia.gov

CALL FOR PAPERS
---------------
Papers are being sought that present original results on meshing and
related topics. We encourage theoretical and novel ideas with
practical potential as well as technical applications from industrial
researchers. In addition to our core topics in meshing related
algorithms, we are also interested in obtaining technical papers that
relate analysis and application solutions to the mesh generation
process. Potential topics include but are not limited to:
* Volume and surface mesh generation
* Structured and unstructured grid generation
* Hybrid meshing
* Anisotropic mesh generation
* Mesh quality, smoothing, and optimization
* Adaptive meshing
* Geometry simplification, decomposition, and cleanup
* Industrial applications for complex geometries
* Large mesh manipulation
* CAD Interface for meshing
* Parallel meshing algorithms and software
* Meshing of parametric models
* Theoretical basis of mesh generation
PROCEEDINGS AND JOURNAL SPECIAL ISSUE
-------------------------------------
The conference proceedings will be published by Sandia National
Laboratories and distributed at the Roundtable. In addition, papers
of exceptionally high quality will be published in a special issue of
Engineering with Computers.
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 8-12 pages in length (9 point, two columns) and
received by June 1, 2001. Paper submissions will be accepted in Word
and PostScript, electronic submission only. Formatting details
including templates for Word and LaTeX will be available on the
conference web site. Final camera-ready papers not meeting formatting
guidelines will not be accepted for publication in the proceedings..
Papers can be transferred by anonymous ftp to endo.sandia.gov (place
in directory pub/incoming/pknupp/10imr) or can be mailed to
pknupp at sandia.gov.
Files transferred via anonymous ftp should be named as follows, to
avoid collisions on the ftp site: names should start with the first
author's last name, followed by a hyphen, followed by the last four
digits of the author's phone number. Authors should send email to
Patrick Knupp, (pknupp at sandia.gov) with the paper title and file name
immediately after placing it on the site.
Questions regarding paper submission should be addressed to Patrick
Knupp or Nikos Chrisochoides, Technical Papers Co-Chairs.
CONFERENCE REGISTRATION
-----------------------
A detailed registration packet and registration form will be mailed
and will be made available on the International Meshing Roundtable
WWW page at: http://www.imr.sandia.gov
CONFERENCE LOCATION AND HOTEL RESERVATIONS
