Domain decomposition is an active and interdisciplinary research area that has drawn the attention of researchers working in many different fields. The effort during the late seventies and early eighties was concerned primarily with substructuring and block methods for elliptic problems. Research work has been extended and applied in many branches of computational mathematics in science and engineering. In particular, non-linear and multiphysics problems related to industry and strategies suitable for parallel and distributed high performance computing are of interest to the participants of this series of international conferences.

This eleventh meeting will be the first in this series of conferences to take place in the United Kingdom. Its special focus will be on numerical analysis, computational issues, industrial applications and software development for domain decomposition methods.

The conference will take the format of plenary talks, minisymposia, parallel sessions, selected graduate paper presentations and vendors exhibition. All aspects of DD-based methods are of interest, including:
 

Numerical analysis of dd methods Fictitious domain methods Block and substructuring methods Multigrid methods Coupling methods for multiphysics Heterogeneous dd methods Mortar element methods dd methods for high-order and spectral discretisations dd methods for eigenvalue problems dd methods for non-linear and time dependent      problems dd methods in computational fluid dynamics dd methods in structural dynamics and aeroelasticity

dd methods in acoustics and electromagnetics dd methods in oil field simulations dd methods in social/financial sciences dd methods for inverse problems dd methods for boundary/panel elements Graph decomposition Mesh partitioning and load balancing issues Strategies for high performance computing Strategies for parallel and distributed computing Software development for dd methods Semi-automatic development tools for dd methods dd methods for non-linear industrial/multiphysics      problems
