IV INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON NUMERICAL METHODS AND APPLICATIONS
Organized by the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences in cooperation with SIAM

Mini-symposium: Parallel and Distributed Numerical Computing with Applications

                     CALL FOR PAPERS

The above mini-symposium is organized during the 4th International
Conference on Numerical Methods and Applications (NMA-98)
which will be held in Sofia from 19 to 23 August, 1998.

     Parallel and distributed scientific and engineering computing 
has become a key technology which will play an important part in
determining, or at least shaping, future Research and development
activities in many academic and industrial branches.
      This symposium is to bring together computer scientists, 
numerical analysts and researchers and to provide means for
presenting both results and experience of research and particularly 
informal communication of  research in progress, as well as to
encourage discussion and interchange of the ideas in the area of
parallel and distributed computing for numerical and optimization
problems.
  
      Among the main topics (are not limited) are:
      1. development of advanced parallel and distributed numerical methods,
      2. parallel and distributed computing techniques and codes,
      3. applications to numerical fluid mechanics and material sciences,
      4. applications to signal and image processing, dynamic systems,
         semiconductor technology, and electronic circuits and systems
         design etc.

      Authors should send three copies of an extended abstract to the
min-symposium organizers. Abstracts can also be sent as plain text
files via electronic mail. Contributions will be reviewed  for
relevance and technical contents on basis of the extended abstract.
