The workshop will be held the week of June 7-11, 1999. The format is the following. Industrial engineers or scientists present a problem or family of problems to be worked during the first day.
Informal teams form and work on the problems for the next three days.
The results are then presented on Friday morning. Subsequent to the meeting, a report is written and distributed to all participants. We so far have a heat transfer problem lined up, and several other problems are on the brink of being included. The rounding up of the problems is always somewhat last minute for this meeting, and this year is no exception. While the participating faculty and postdocs are the primary problem solvers, we have some graduate students participating.
