Fifth International Conference on Scientific Computing and Applications

This will be the fifth of a sequence of conferences on Scientific Computing and Applications held in the Pacific Rim region. All of them have the goal of bringing together mathematicians, scientists and engineers working in the field of scientific computing and its applications to solve scientific and industrially oriented problems and to provide a forum for the participants to meet and exchange ideas of common interest in an informal atmosphere.

The focus of this particular conference will be on the problems and methods related to image processing, financial applications and modelling of multiphase flows. The goal of the conference is twofold. The theoretical areas of interest include fundamental methods and algorithms for solving PDE's and linear systems of equations. On the other hand, it will try to attract the attention of the applied community, in particular the oil sands industry, banking and medical imaging, to present and discuss the applications of scientific computing to practical problems. The theoretical topics of interest are (but not limited to): Finite Element, Finite Volume Element and Finite Volume Methods for partial differential equations, splitting techniques and stabilized methods, iterative solvers and preconditioning techniques for large scale systems, methods for systems with a special structure, parallel algorithms and performance analysis.
