SHORT COURSE
------------
A new addition to the Roundtable for 1999 is the optional short courses, to
be held the day before the opening of the Conference. Three courses will be
offered, taught by internationally known experts in the field of Mesh
Generation. Each short course will be two hours in length and include
course notes and coffee breaks. Instructors will be addressing practical
issues in the design and implementation of both structured and unstructured
mesh generation codes. The courses are ideal for students just entering the
field needing a foundation for research, or for seasoned professionals who
would like to expand their current skill-set in the development of mesh and
grid generation algorithms. To register for the short courses, mark the
appropriate boxes on the registration form. The price is $100 per attendee
which includes course materials. Enrollment for short courses is limited to
the first 30 paid registrants. If insufficient enrollment, short courses
may be subject to cancellation. In event of cancellation or
over-enrollment, all tuition will be refunded.

10:00-12:00 Basics of Structured Grid Generation
1:00 - 3:00 New Advances and Open Issues in Unstructured Meshing
3:30 - 5:30 Parallel Meshing and CAD Interface

POSTER SESSION
--------------
Major Shared Resource Centers (MSRC) and the International Society of Grid
Generation (ISGG) are pleased to sponsor this year's poster session. The
poster session will be held at the top of Heavenly Mountain in the ski
lodge facility (via tram) on Monday, October 11th, beginning at 5:30 p.m.
In past years the poster session has featured demonstrations of meshes from
participants of the roundtable, from which the best mesh or "meshing
maestro" award was selected. In addition to this successful event, all 8IMR
participants are invited to display technical exhibits of current research
in mesh and grid generation. This is an ideal forum for authors who would
prefer not to submit a formal technical paper, but would like to illustrate
state-of-the-art techniques and procedures in which they are currently
involved. Session speakers are also invited to display practical results of
their work at the poster session.

PROCEEDINGS AND JOURNAL SPECIAL ISSUE
-------------------------------------
The conference proceedings will be published by Sandia National
Laboratories and distributed at the Roundtable. In addition, papers of
exceptionally high quality will be published in a special issue of a
widely-circulated journal.
