Announcement Everyone is welcome to attend and to contribute,
registration is not required and attendance is free. However, as
refreshments are to be provided, it would be helpful if you could
let Nicola
Reader know if you are planning to attend. Optionally, you can

to subscribe to the internal fews2002 mailing list (2-3 announcements in
total).
We have organised the first one-day Finite Element Workshop at the
University of Southampton, FEWS. It will take place on Thursday, 9
May 2002, at the Education Lecture Theatre, Building 34, Highfield
Campus.
Objective & Scope
We welcome contributions on finite element grid generation, FE based
modelling, analysis, simulation, optimisation and visualisation in
the fields of Electromagnetics, Fluid Dynamics, Acoustics, Optics,
Mechanics, Civil Engineering, Bioengineering, etc. as well as
e-science based or linked projects. Furthermore, contributions in
the area of related techniques are welcome, such as finite volumes,
boundary elements, surface visualization techniques,...
Our objective is to bring together researchers from differing
disciplines to share experiences, expertise and knowledge in the
work with Finite Elements and related methods and to discuss current
and future work as well as collaboration issues with respect to
novel emerging technologies.
Postgraduate Open Session
The Open Session offers the opportunity for postgraduate students to
present their current research work in 5-10 minute slots to the
audience in a "safe" and familiar environment. Postgraduate students
are encouraged to take part in the Open Session and we are going to
award a small prize to the best presentation (great for your
CV!). If you are interested in participating, please send a brief
email to Marc Molinari.
Programme
Professor Nigel Weatherill (Head of the Department for Civil
Engineering, University of Wales, Swansea) will be our guest speaker
on the day.
