We are pleased to announce that the 2006 International CFD-ACE+, CFD-FASTRAN, CFD-CADalyzer and PAM-FLOW Users' Conference will be held October 25-27, 2006, in Santa Clara, CA. This conference represents a unique opportunity for technical exchange between CFD-ACE+, CFD-FASTRAN, CFD-CADalyzer and PAM-FLOW users as well as a preview of upcoming technical advancements. The program includes CFD applications of semiconductor processes, plasma, biotechnology, MEMS and microfluidics, fuel cell, biomedical, as well as the general field of CFD with special emphasis in the areas of multiphysics applications.

The meeting will consist of an opening plenary lecture and invited and contributed papers with separate sessions for industry-specific CFD applications. The following technical areas are of particular interest: o semiconductor processes, o plasma, o biotechnology, o MEMS and microfluidics, o fuel cell, o biomedical o automotive applications o aerospace applications (aerodynamic and aerothermodynamic)

Individual interested in presenting are required to provide an abstract of not more than 250 words. Abstracts may be e-mailed to: info@esi-group-na.com . Please be sure to include your contact information in the email so that we can contact you regarding acceptance of abstract. To be included in the final proceedings, presentations are due September 29, 2006.
