Presentation 
------------------------------------------------------------
 
The Advanced Research Workshop on Fire Computer Modeling 
will take place in Santander on October 19, 2007.

The goal of the Workshop is to bring together numerical and 
experimental practitioners in fire dynamics, and foster 
discussion and exchange of knowledge about the current 
state of fire modeling. Experts in the field are called 
upon to present their research, applications and case 
studies to a worldwide audience. The programme will cover 
both theoretical and practical aspect.

The GIDAI research group at the Universidad de Cantabria is 
hosting and organizing the Workshop, with the collaboration 
of the University of California at Berkeley (USA) and the 
University of Edinburgh (UK). GIDAI has been carrying out 
engginer and research proyects in the Fire Science and 
Technology for more than 15 years now.
