About the event:

The Office of Advanced Scientific Computing Research (OASCR) will hold a meeting for investigators in the Applied Mathematics Program on October 15-17, 2008 at Argonne National Laboratory. This 2.5 day meeting will consist of a combination of plenary talks, breakout sessions, and poster sessions to exchange technical information in this year's selected theme areas.

The purpose of these meetings is to exchange information and foster interaction among the AMR program researchers. Theme areas will be emphasized, but research contributions from all areas of the AMR research portfolio are encouraged.

The AMR08 meeting will be held at Argonne's Advanced Photon Source (APS) building, which is the site of a national synchrotron x-ray research facility funded by the Department of Energy. The APS provides the brightest x-ray beams in the Western Hemisphere.
