Dear Friends We are inviting you to participate in the Mini-Symposium "Research Beginners on Computational Methods in Engineering", created to stimulate the participation of undergraduate students within the CILAMCE - Iberian Latin American Congress on Computational Methods in Engineering.
This year the Mini-Symposium is organized by Elson M. Toledo (LNCC/UFJF) and Regina C. P. Leal-Toledo (UFF) and the XXIX CILAMCE - Iberian Latin American Congress on Computational Methods in Engineering will be held at Maceió, state of Alagoas, Brazil, from November 4 to 7. The event will be hosted by the Graduate Program in Civil Engineering of Federal University of Alagoas. Please take a look at the homepage: <http://www.acquacon.com.br/cilamce2008/> to find updated information about the Conference. The conference has its origins in a meeting for Civil Engineers held in Rio de Janeiro in 1977 and since 1979, its scope was broadened to include a wide range of engineering applications. CILAMCE 2008, the 29th CILAMCE Conference, will maintain the tradition, established by the previous editions, of providing a general forum for enhancing interdisciplinary interactions, and collaborations among researchers, students and professionals interested in the application of computational methods to engineering. Call for Papers One page abstracts are invited by 15 March 2008. The abstract must contain: Title, authors, addresses, corresponding author´s e-mail and the name of the associated mini-symposium. For details about formats and the submission procedure, please visit the conference website ( <http://www.acquacon.com.br/cilamce2008/>) The official languages of the conference are English, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian. Papers and presentations in any official language are welcome. No simultaneous translations will be provided. Authors are encouraged to write and present their papers in English.
