Workshop on Computational Tools for Modeling Acoustic Propagation in Real-World Materials
(CTAP 2004)

August 9th and 10th, 2004

CALL FOR PAPERS

The call for papers is over.

This inaugural workshop on computational tools for acoustic propagation will address a range of topics relevant to the modeling of acoustics. The program consists of contributed and invited papers for oral presentation. Analytical, numerical, and experimental papers are solicited on any modeling aspect of acoustic propagation from the various branches of acoustics, including geophysics, SONAR, medical ultrasound, and nondestructive evaluation. Examples of subjects to be addressed include:
  • Physical and mathematical aspects of acoustic propagation
    • Time-causal wave equation
    • Kramers-Krönig dispersion relations
    • Linear and nonlinear propagation

  • Computational mathematical techniques
    • Finite-difference time-domain methods
    • Causal boundary conditions
    • Efficient convolution techniques

  • High performance computing methods
    • Parallel computation
    • Single and distributed memory models
    • Message Passing Interface

Abstract submissions should be 200 words or less. The abstracts and accompanying oral presentations will be archived to CD-ROM (with authors permission), and mailed to each participant in September 2004.

Abstracts should be submitted as an email attachment sent to ctap<at>boulder.nist.gov. In the email, identify the presenting author and corresponding author (if different), along with telephone number, fax number, and email address.

Contributors will be notified of the committee's decision by July 23, 2004.

Address any submission questions to Kendall Waters (Workshop Chairman) by telephone at (303) 497-4587 or by email.
