For these reasons, they have attracted the attention of many researchers working in computational fluid dynamics, computational mechanics, computational mathematics and computer science. The objectives of this mini-symposium are to bring these promising methods to the attention of the computational mechanics community and to create a forum conducive to interactions between the most active researchers in this area. This minisymposium will include keynote, invited and contributed papers. We welcome the submission of abstracts for papers relating to any aspect of discontinuous Galerkin methods. These may address formulation and analysis as well as applications. In addition, we welcome papers dealing with various computer science problems associated with discontinuous Galerkin methods, such as adaptive meshing, space-time mesh generation and parallel implementations.
