ON
PARALLEL COMPUTATIONS AND THEIR IMPACT ON MECHANICS ASME Winter Annual Meeting Boston, MA, December 14-17, 1987
A Symposium on Parallel Computations and Their Impact on Mechanics is planned at the ASME Winter Annual Meeting in Boston, MA. The symposium is sponsored by three ASME Divisions (Applied Mechanics, Pressure Vessels and Piping, and Computer Engineering), and includes presentations by leading experts on parallel architectures, programming environment, parallel numerical algorithms, and applications of parallel computers to structural mechanics, fluid dynamics, and weather prediction problems. Opportunities provided by supercomputers and parallel processing will be identified by experts in these areas. For more information please contact: Prof. Ahmet K.

TECHNOLOGY KINGDOM,
The Computational Mechanics Institute, in collaboration with the Free University of Brussels, is organising an international Conference on Computer Aided Design in Composite Material Technology, to be held at Southampton University on April 13-15, 1988. This Conference aims to achieve a critical assessment and enhancement of applications of computer aided engineering techniques in composite materials and structures. Whereas most of the existing conferences on composite materials cover the mathematical and experimental aspects, this meeting will focus on the use of computers in analysis, design,
