Algebraic Multigrid Methods Workshop
June 25-27, 2000, Strobl, Austria

General Information
The workshop was held at the
Bundesinstitut für Erwachsenenbildung (BIfEB)
in Strobl, Austria from Sunday, June
25 to Tuesday, June 27, 2000 by the shores of Wolfsgangsee (near to
Salzburg). Although the institute belongs to St. Wolfgang, you reach it via the
village Strobl, which is not near the central part of the lake, but is at
the southeast end.

A
very informal setting was formed for the workshop early when Klaus Stüben
suggested in the
first presentation that people talk about failures as well as
successes... and people did just that during their presentations and the
discussions outside of the formal talks.
Algorithms and applications were discussed at length.
In the evenings, many discussions took place in the institute or up the
mountain at the nearby Mostbauer.

Participants
There were 14 talks and 5 no speaks in
attendance, who,
nonetheless, spoke at length during the questioning periods and during the
breaks. This was an informal group with lots of interactions.
The following were the speakers.
