IMACS - The International Association for Mathematics and Computers in Simulation 
is an organization of professionals and scientists concerned with computers, 
computation and applied mathematics, in particular, as they apply
to the simulation of systems.  This includes numerical analysis, mathematical 
modelling, approximation theory, computer hardware and software, programming 
languages and compilers. 
IMACS also concerns itself with the general philosophy of scientific computation 
and applied mathematics, and with their impact on society and on disciplinary and 
interdisciplinary research.
IMACS is one of the five international scientific associations (with IFAC, IFORS, 
IFIP and IMEKO) represented in FIACC, the five international organizations in the 
area of computers, automation, instrumentation and the relevant branches of 
applied mathematics.  Of the five, IMACS (which changed its name from AICA in 
1976) is the oldest, having been founded in 1956.

Berlin - The Host City of the 15th IMACS World Congress 1997
Berlin, the location of the 15th IMACS World Congress, is situated in the centre of Europe on the river "Spree" and "Havel" and covers an area of 889 square kilometres. With 3.5 million inhabitants, Berlin is the largest city in 
Germany, and one of the liveliest, most interesting, and most rapidly changing capitals in the world. Various historical buildings  remind the visitor of the time when Berlin was the capital of Prussia. Such historical sights as the "Deutsche Staatsoper", the "Humboldt-Universitat", the "Museum fur Deutsche Geschichte" or the "Prinzen Palais" are located along the boulevard "Unter den Linden", between the "Brandenburger Tor" and the "Lustgarten" square. Together with one of the most beautiful squares of th
e world, the "Gendarmenmarkt" square, with the two cathedrals "Franz"osischer Dom", "Deutscher Dom" and the concert hall "Schauspielhaus", they  attract thousands of tourists from all over world every year.
Berlin is proud of its large and varied cultural scene which includes: three opera houses, more than 150 theatres and concert halls, 400 independent theater groups, 200 art galleries, 120 cinemas, numerous other cultural centers. In the over 70 museums, located e.g. in Dahlem, Tiergarten or on  the Museums Island  various treasures of world class are exhibited, e.g. the Pergamon Altar and the bust of the egyptian queen Nefertiti, just to name two.  What makes Berlin's cultural atmosphere so dynamic is the 
coexistance of the established entertainment industry and the countless independent artists, painters and sculptors, composers and musicians, poets and writers who make up the local "scene". On average Berlin has 250 exhibitions running on a given day.
In no other city, the historical events of recent years have taken more effect in both the urban panorama and in people's lives. The collapse of the Berlin Wall and the Iron Curtain, which separated Europe, has been offering new development perspectives for Berlin. In the next few years Berlin will also become again the seat of the parliament and government of Germany. 
Berlin is also a city of sciences. In the large  universities,  the  "Freie Universit"at", the "Humboldt-Universit"at", and the "Technische Universit"at" as well  as  several  other colleges, more than 150,000 students are currently enrolled. In addition to the universities, Berlin is home to approximately 220 research institutes which offer immeasurable assistance to  the financial, technological and social institutions. During the World Congress several local research departments will host their own sess
ions, presenting activities in the area of applied mathematics and computer sciences.  

Announcing the International Workshop
on Advanced Materials for Marine
Construction.
Dates: February 5-7, 1997
New Orleans, Louisiana
Sponsors:
U.S. Minerals Management Service
American Bureau of Shipping
American Welding Society
Organized by:
Colorado School of Mines
Content Summary:
Advanced materials have contributed to 
significant progress in marine structures 
engineering in the past decade. Composite 
materials, weldable high-strength steels, 
duplex stainless steels, and titanium and 
aluminum alloys that are compatible with 
offshore environments offer the marine 
industry improved corrosion resistance 
and strength-to-weight ratios; but material 
costs, lack of fabrication expertise, and 
differences in design philosophy still 
present significant barriers to more 
widespread use.
Producers, designers, engineers, fabricators, 
inspectors, and users of marine materials, 
including corporate and government leaders, 
will define the current state of use of advanced 
materials in marine structures, and identify 
technical and non-technical barriers to more 
widespread use.
The Workshop is designed to achieve the following 
objectives:
¨ Define current use of advanced materials marine engineering
¨ Identify barriers to more widespread use of advanced 
materials in marine engineering
¨ Provide an international forum for participants from all 
aspects of materials production and use
¨ Promote the cost-effective use of advanced materials in 
marine structures
¨ Produce an archivable record of current usage and future 
opportunities for advanced materials in marine engineering
Registration fee: $200.

Continuing Education at the Colorado

I need to calculate the net flux of seawater through a 2-D area, given
the sides of the box. The velocity is linearly varying from 0.5 m/s to
0.0 m/s, basically a sheared flow: 
                   _______  
                   |      |
                   |      |
                   |      |
                   |      | H
                   |      |
                   |_____ |
                      L
This box here is perpendicular to the flow. For example, the flow is
into the screen. The flow varies linearly from 0.5 m/s at L=0 m to 0.0
m/s at L=10000 m, and the flow varies this way at depth. H=200 meters.
How would one calculate the net flux or the flux U as a function of L?
Thanks in advance...

Mike,
Since the flow varies linearly from 0.5 m/s to 0.0 m/s, the average
speed is 0.25 m/s. The cross-sectional area = H*L = 200 * 10000 =
 2000000 m^2. 
The flux = Area * V = 2000000 m^2 * 0.25 m/s = 500000 m^3/s

 First of all, the questioner asked for countries (or states).  And states is 
states .  Second of all, on or off a reservation makes no difference, 
Indian reservations are not separate countries.

As a part of my thesis work I constructed an instruent, the Sedimeter(R),
which will measure scour and accumulation with a high accuracy. It can be
used on (not to deep) sea bottoms, off coasts, in harbours, for sand a
finer, in lakes, reservoirs, ... It is now presented on WWW:

Sorry Folks, plug your ears...
  THEY SHOULD TAKE THEIR DAMN CAMPAIGN BACK TO SCI.ENERGY.HYDROGEN !!!
  SINCE YOU SEEM TO HAVE RUN OUT OF SUCKERS OVER THERE, TAKE THE HINT !!!
My apologies to the sensible readers in the rest of these groups.
Look, 
  I don't really believe that you are so naive that you don't know what
has been going on in s.e.h  But you've spanned 14 groups.  Even Lawrence
(self proclaimed Internet big mouth) has publicly admitted that there
might be something fishy going on here.  Please stop this.  The original
promise was to limit this spam to s.e.h 
Face it, no _real_ engineer in any of the groups you spammed is going to
believe the nonsense anyhow, all you're doing is spreading misinformation
and disinformation.  The few granola crunchers that you do succeed in
rallying are ultimately going to see through the scam.  Then when all is
said and done, all you've accomplished is a waste of bandwidth, period.

Dear sir/madam,
I'am going to find a interpolation value at at (x,y) within a quadralateral. 
The values at four corners are known. 
    T(x1,y1)                 * T(x2,y2)
     *        
              T(x,y)==???
   *                        
   T(x3,y3)                                
                                 * T(x4,y4)
Could you help me?  Thank you in advance.
