May 5-10 Maui, Hawaii List of attendees with lodging information View the Complete Agenda The third ACES international meeting will be held May 5-10, 2002 at the Maui Prince Hotel, Maui, Hawaii, USA. The theme of the meeting is: Computational Science, Data Assimilation, and Information Technology for Understanding Earthquake Physics and Dynamics The APEC Cooperation on Earthquake Simulations (ACES) is a multi-lateral grand challenge science research cooperation of APEC (the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation) [www.quakes.uq.edu.au/ACES]. The ACES program is fundamentally a coordinated international effort linking complementary nationally based programs, centers and research teams, whose mission is: 1. To develop realistic numerical simulation models for the physics and dynamics of the complete earthquake generation process and to assimilate new earthquake observations into such models, 2. To foster collaboration between the relevant complementary programs of participating APEC member economies, 3. To foster development of the required research infrastructure and research programs. The meeting will consist of plenary sessions plus half-day sessions related to the ACES working groups: WG 1: Microscopic simulation WG 2: Scaling physics WG 3: Macro-scale simulation/Earthquake generation and cycles WG 4: Macro-scale simulation/Dynamic rupture and wave propagation WG 5: Computational Environment and Algorithms WG 6: Data assimilation and understanding WG 7: Model applications In addition to the oral presentations, participants will be invited to bring posters on their research. Meeting attendees are encouraged to submit an extended abstract for the meeting. Guidelines for abstracts will be provided to accepted participants after February 15th. Full peer-reviewed papers will be published following the meeting. There will be a reception on Sunday night, May 5. The opening technical session will be held on Monday morning, May 6, to be followed by 7 half-day sessions from Monday afternoon, May 6 to Friday morning, May 10 (one session per working group). There will be a break on Wednesday afternoon, May 8. There will be an evening ceremony on Thursday night, May 9. The complete agenda is now online as well as a list of Participants. Information on the Maui Prince Hotel can be found at www.mauiprincehotel.com. The conference rate for hotel rooms is $145/night (plus tax).
