5. WORKSHOPS ORGANIZED


There were 90 specialists on finite element techniques from Europe, America and Asia at the FEM 50 conference. The invited lectures were given by O. Axelsson, I. Babuska, F. Brezzi, G.F. Carey, J. Douglas Jr., C. Johnson, K. Morgan, L. Oganesjan, R. Rannacher, V. Thomee, O. Widlund and M. Zlàmal.

The main topics of the conference were: development of the theory of the finite element method, computational aspects and applications in fluid flow, electromagnetism, material science, parallel computing, domain decomposition finite element method and mesh generation. Moreover special emphasis was focussed to numerical methods for free boundary type problems (variational inequalities, contact problems, computations of microstructure, flow through fissured media, etc.), parameter identification control of free boundary problems as well as optimal shape design problems.
