Chicago Workshop on Adaptive Mesh Refinement Methods
for Astrophysical Thermonuclear Flashes
University of Chicago
Workshop to be held in Chicago, September 3-5, 2003
** Please circulate this announcement message. **
* SCIENTIFIC GOALS AND TOPICS *
The aim of the Chicago Workshop is to bring together theorists and practitioners involved in the development and application of structured adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) methods. Workshop topics will include AMR theory, applications, numerical methods, and software development from the perspective of academics, national lab scientists, and reasearchers in industry. The performance of several AMR implementations on a suite of benchmark fluid flow problems will be compared in a special session.
The objectives of the workshop are
- to improve the general understanding of the application of AMR to practical problems;
- to provide a forum for interaction between AMR application areas, including astrophysics, geophysics, climate modeling, aerospace, and semiconductor device modeling
- to identify issues critical to efficient and effective implementation on high performance computers;
- to stimulate the development of a community repository containing tools for structured AMR, beginning with benchmark problems to assist in the evaluation of algorithms and software and compiler technologies.

For any questions regarding the workshop or benchmarks which are not addressed on the website, email the Local Organizing Committee at loc-amr2003@flash.uchicago.edu
* REGISTRATION *
You can register on-line or at the workshop. On-line registration closes August 6. With the number of registered participants approaching the limit of 75 participants, we suggest early registration to secure your participation. The registration is not complete until your registration fee of $100 is received. Please send your check or money order, payable to "The University of Chicago", to Carrie Eder (consult "Contact Information" below).
* ABSTRACT SUBMISSION *
You can submit your abstract electronically either after your registered on-line or later using the web interface accessible for the workshop website. Submission of abstracts closes July 7 and selection of talks and posters will close on July 21.
* PROCEEDINGS *
Workshop organizers have reached an agreement with Springer-Verlag to publish the meeting proceedings. The proceedings, subject to final approval, will appear as volume in the Springer's Lecture Notes in Computational Sciences and Engineering (LNCSE) series. The deadline for submission of contributions is October 15.
* VENUE *
The conference will be held at the Kersten Physics Teaching Center on the University of Chicago campus, located about seven miles south of downtown Chicago. Early September is usually very pleasant, with warm and sunny days, and we hope you will find time to see the beautiful City of Chicago. Our conference web site provides basic local information with maps, weather conditions, and guides to the Chicago area.
