<b>27th CILAMCE - Iberian Latin American Congress on Computational
Methods in Engineering <br><br>
Call for Abstracts<br><br>
</b>On behalf of the Brazilian Association of Computational Methods in
Engineering (ABMEC) and the Iberian Latin American Association for
Computational Methods in Engineering (AMC), we are pleased to
announce the 27th Cilamce - Iberian Latin American Congress on
Computational Methods in Engineering, to be held during September 3-6,
2006 at the Hilton Hotel, in the historical city of Belém-Pará, Brazil.
The event will be hosted by the Graduate Program in Civil Engineering of
Federal University of Pará.<br><br>
<br>
<b>Venue<br>
</b>Belém is located in the Guajará bay, in the delta of the Amazon
River, close to "Ilha do Marajó", the largest fluvial island in
the world. Belém prides itself on being the gateway to the Amazon Region
and the cultural and commercial center of Northern Brazil. It grew
substantially in size and importance during the nineteenth century rubber
boom, and is now a large city with two million inhabitants. While the
newer part of the city contains many modern buildings and skyscrapers,
the colonial section still retains the charm of ancient churches and
other historical buildings with their traditional Portuguese blue tiles.
Belém has beautiful public squares and many mango-tree lined streets,
and, for this reason, it is also known as "Cidade das
Mangueiras" (City of Mango Trees). <br><br>
<b>Conference History<br>
</b><font face="arial" size=2>The conference has its origins in a meeting
for Civil Engineers held in Rio de Janeiro in 1977. In the following year
it was repeated in São Paulo. In 1979, the scope of the conference was
broadened, in Porto Alegre, to include a wide range of engineering
applications, leading to the present name of the conference. At the same
time, the AMC was created. Since then, the conference has grown even
further in both scope and audience, and it now ranks as one of the most
important conferences on its field of activity in the Iberian Latin
American Community. <br><br>
Throughout the years, the conference has played an increasingly vital
role in providing an international forum for discussion and dissemination
of scientific and technical knowledge related to the use of computer
technology in the solution of engineering problems. The last editions of
the conference were held in Giulianova/Italy (2002), Ouro Preto/Brazil
(2003), Recife/Brazil (2004), and Guarapari/Brazil (2005). <br><br>
<b>Scientific Program<br>
</b>Cilamce 2006, the 27th Cilamce conference, will maintain the
tradition, established by the previous editions, of providing a general
forum for enhancing interdisciplinary interactions, and collaborations
among all researchers, students and professionals interested in the
application of computational methods to engineering.<br><br>
The scientific program of the Congress consists of invited plenary
lectures, invited mini-symposia keynote lectures by respected experts,
contributed oral presentations, and poster presentations by undergraduate
students. The keynote lectures and the oral presentations will be grouped
in the following Minisymposia, covering a vast range of multidisciplinary
subjects on computational methods in engineering and applied
sciences:<br><br>
- Advanced Analysis in Steel and Composite Structures<br>
- Advanced Turbulence Modeling for Industrial CFD<br>
