New Paradigms in Computation

The primary goal of this workshop is to facilitate the use of the best computational techniques in important industrial applications. Key developers of three of the most significant recent or emerging paradigms of computation--fast multipole methods, level set methods, and multiscale computation--will provide tutorial introductions to these classes of methods. Presentations will be particularly geared to scientists using or interested in using these approaches in industry. In addition the workshop will include research reports, poster presentations, and problem posing by industrial researchers, and offer ample time for both formal and informal discussion, related to the use of these new methods of computation.
