2nd International Workshops onAdvances in Computational Mechanics
First Announcement(http://www.jsces.org/IWACOM/)
Co-organized by:
The Japan Society of Computational Engineering and Science (JSCES)The Computational Mechanics Division of the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers (JSME)
Yokohama National University (YNU)

Motivation and Objective
After the success of the first International Workshops on Advances in Computational Mechanics(IWACOM 2004) held at Hosei University (Tama Campus), Tokyo, JAPAN, in 2004
(http://www.jsces.org/IWACOM/1st/), we are pleased to announce that 2nd IWACOM will be held atPacifico Yokohama (Conference Center) at Yokohama City during March 30-31, 2010.
The purpose of this meeting of workshops is to provide an international forum for recent developments inselected fields of research in computational mechanics by bringing together Asian, European andAmerican researchers. All the workshops are intended to provide chances for intensive discussions
about their own selected topics and identify future directions for the development of related modelingstrategies and computational techniques. Innovative presentations pertaining to each workshop are allinvited, but participants for auditing only are also welcomed.
