FEMTEC 2011 is co-organized by the University of Nevada
(Reno), Desert Reseach Institute (Reno), Idaho National
Laboratory (Idaho Falls, Idaho), and U.S. Army Engineer
Research and Development Center (Vicksburg, Mississippi).
The objective of the meeting is to strengthen the
interaction between researchers who develop new
computational methods, and scientists and engineers from
various fields who employ numerical methods in their research. 

Specific focus areas of FEMTEC 2011 include, but are not
limited to, the following:

    * Computational methods in hydrology, atmospheric
      modeling, and other earth sciences.
    * Computational methods in nuclear, mechanical,
      civil, electrical, and other engineering fields.
    * Mesh generation and scientific visualization.
    * Open-source projects and Python in scientific    
      computing.

Part of the conference will be a software afternoon
featuring open source projects of participants. 

Proceedings of FEMTEC 2011 will appear as a special issue of
Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics  (2008 SCI
impact factor 1.292), and additional high-impact
international journals as needed.
