Minisymposium description:
------------------------- 

This symposium provides a forum for both code developers and numerical analysts to discuss recent 
innovations and applications in the broad field of coupled engineering simulation.

Computer models based on coupled field theories are becoming more common as engineers demand 
high-fidelity simulations of complex systems. Many algorithmic approaches and implementations are 
possible, making this field a leading source of innovation and invention.

We invite abstracts that focus on both the algorithms used for coupled engineering simulations and 
their implementation on computer hardware in all fields of engineering (such as, but not limited to, 
manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, biomedical, electronics and government activities). Abstracts 
that address issues related to massively parallel processors, software architectures, multi-disciplinary 
activities and innovative algorithmic developments are particularly encouraged.

In order to minimize entropy production, all authors are requested to adhere to the guidelines for abstract 
submission that may be found on the conference web site.
