         FIRST  ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS

             TENTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
             ON DOMAIN DECOMPOSITION METHODS

                  August 10 - 14, 1997
                 University of Colorado
                 Boulder, Colorado, USA


Domain decomposition (DD) is a very active research area of computational
mathematics and engineering, not only because it is a scientific strategy
suitable for high performance computing, but also because it covers a broad
class of effective numerical methods for solving large-scale mathematical-
physical problems.  This tenth meeting will occur at a time of increasing
interest in high performance computational methods spurred by the availability
of powerful new parallel and distributed computing systems.  Therefore, its
special focus will be on

          High Performance Computing and Advanced Numerical Methods
                         for Industrial Applications.
 
The conference will include invited plenary talks by leading experts in the
field from academia, research institutions, as well as industry, and parallel
contributed and special sessions.  Contributions are sought on all aspects of
DD-based iterative as well as direct methods, including

- numerical analysis of DD methods
- block and substructuring methods
- multigrid and multilevel methods
- fictitious domain methods
- DD methods for high-order and spectral discretizations
- DD methods for nonlinear and time dependent problems
- DD methods for eigenvalue problems
- DD methods in computational fluid dynamics
- DD methods in structural mechanics/dynamics
- DD methods in acoustics and electromagnetics
- graph decomposition and mesh partitioning algorithms
- strategies and technologies for high performance computing
- parallel implementation methodologies
- software developments
- industrial applications
