CMEM 2005 Twelfth International Conference on Computational Methods and Experimental Measurements

OBJECTIVES
CMEM 2005 is the twelfth international conference in this well established series on Computational Methods and Experimental Measurements. These successful meetings provide a unique forum for the review of the latest work on the interaction between computa tional methods and experimental measurements.
As computer models become more reliable and able to represent more realistic problems, they require detailed data leading to the development of appropriate new types of experiments.
Experimental measurements are themselves conditioned to the requirements of the computational models. Hence it is important that scientists working on experiments communicate with researchers developing computer codes, as well as those carrying out measur ements on prototypes. The orderly and progressive concurrent development of all these fields is essential for the progress of engineering sciences.
Scientists working in laboratory and field experiments produce challenging results which require, in many cases, difficult interpretation, leading to the reformulation of the analytical tools used in established computer codes.
This successful series of conferences started in Washington DC (1981) followed by a meeting on board the Queen Elizabeth II Ocean Liner (1984); Porto Carras, Greece (1986); Capri (1988); Montreal (1991); Siena (1993); Capri (1995); Rhodes (1997); Sorrento (1999); Alicante (2001) and Sani Beach, Greece (2003).
