                          CALL FOR PAPERS

		   SEVENTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON 
   DOMAIN DECOMPOSITION METHODS IN SCIENTIFIC AND ENGINEERING COMPUTING

			Keller Conference Center
                        Pennsylvania State University
        	        University Park, Pennsylvania

			   October 27--30, 1993

Domain decomposition refers to numerical methods for obtaining solutions 
of scientific and engineering problems by combining solutions to 
problems posed on physical subdomains, or, more generally, by combining
solutions to appropriately constructed subproblems. It has become a
subject of intense interest recently because of its suitability for
implementation on high performance computer architectures.  The aim of
this conference, similar to previous ones in the series, is to bring
together researchers with different backgrounds working in this active
area to discuss recent and prospective advances and to promote
interaction between applied scientists, computer scientists, and
numerical analysts.


CONFERENCE THEMES:

Themes of the conference will range from basic theoretical research to
industrial applications related to domain decomposition (DD) method,
including:

 	numerical analysis of DD methods
 	multigrid and multilevel methods
 	block and substructuring methods
 	DD methods for high order and spectral methods
 	DD methods for nonlinear and time dependent problems
 	DD methods in computational fluid dynamics and structural mechanics
 	graph decomposition
 	general iterative and preconditioning methods
 	parallel implementations
 	software developments


FORMAT:

The program of the conference will consist of a number of invited
lectures in plenary sessions, selected contributed papers in two
parallel sessions and a poster session.


CONTRIBUTED PAPERS:
 
Potential contributors should return the form below and submit an
abstract of no more than one page by April 1, 1993 to the conference 
secretary at the address below.
	
The submission of the abstract through email is preferred.  Plain TeX,
AMSTeX and LaTeX macros are available via anonymous ftp to
ftp.math.psu.edu (146.186.131.129) in the directory pub/ddm7. Plain
text (ASCII) files are also acceptable.

All submitted abstracts will be reviewed by the Scientific Committee of
the conference and authors will be notified by June 15, 1993.


CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS:

The proceedings of the conference will be published by the American
Mathematical Society in the series Contemporary Mathematics.  Refereed
papers from both invited and contributed talks may appear in the
proceedings.


CONFERENCE DEADLINES:

	Abstracts		April  1, 1993
	Lodging Reservations	Sept. 27, 1993
	Early Registration	Sept. 27, 1993


TRAVEL SUPPORT:

It is hoped that there will be some travel support for graduate
students and postdoctoral researchers who lack other applicable
funding.


ORGANIZING COMMITTEE:

The organizing committee, chaired by J. Xu, consists of members of the
Department of Mathematics and the College of Engineering of Penn State
and Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis (IUPUI):
