NCSA Helps Make MAPINT 2000 a Success

released September 5, 2000

MAPINT 2000, the DoD-sponsored and metacomputing-focused 4th MAPINT Symposium on Multidisciplinary Applications and Interoperable Computing, was held August 15-17 in Dayton, Ohio. The MAPINT symposia, a project of the Programming Environment and Training (PET) initiative, provide a platform for strategic DoD, industrial, and academic researchers to communicate their ideas and achievements. NCSA participates in the DoD modernization program through the PET initiative.

NCSA and the U of I were well represented in the six sessions. Harry Hilton, of NCSA's Computational Structural Mechanics (CSM) group, organized the session entitled "Computational Structural/Solid Mechanics in the New Century." Of the seven papers in the CSM session, four were from U of I staff (NCSA's David O'Neal, Hilton, and Ron Hinrichsen along with Philippe Geubelle from the Center for Simulation of Advanced Rockets). Dave Semeraro, of NCSA's Data Mining and Visualization (DMV) group, organized the Scientific Visualization session, and DMV's Dave Bock was one of the four speakers. Paul Sotirelis, NCSA's representative at Aeronautical Systems Center (ASC) at Wright Air Force Base, cochaired the session entitled "Aspects of Electronic and Manomaterials Modeling." NCSA's David Ceperley and Narayana Aluru of the U of I's College of Engineering were among the eight speakers in this session.
