3rd International Workshops onAdvances in Computational Mechanics
First Announcement(http://www.jsces.org/IWACOM/)
Organized by:
The Japan Society of Computational Engineering and Science (JSCES)lMotivation and objective
After the success of the 1st International Workshops on Advances in Computational Mechanics(IWACOM) held at Hosei University (Tama Campus), Tokyo, JAPAN, in 2004
(http://www.jsces.org/IWACOM/1st/), and the 2nd IWACOM held at PACIFICO Yokohama, Yokohama
city, JAPAN, in 2010 (http://www.jsces.org/IWACOM/2nd/), we are pleased to announce that the 3rdIWACOM will be held at KFC Hall & Rooms at Ryogoku, Tokyo during October 12-14, 2015.
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 researchers from all over theworld. 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 modeling strategies andcomputational techniques. Innovative presentations pertaining to each workshop are all invited, butparticipants for auditing only are also welcomed.
