FEniCS@Imperial

FEniCSThe new Centre for Computational Methods in Science and Engineering at Imperial College London is hosting two events related to the FEniCS project. The FEniCS project is an open-source software system for the automated solution of differential equations; a key feature is that it uses automatic code generation to combine software flexibility with the efficiency of problem-specific implementations.

FEniCS seminars, June 18, 2012, Imperial College London

The first event is a half-day workshop on developments on and using the FEniCS project.  The objectives are to raise the profile of code generation among the computational science community, and to build a network among the users of FEniCS at Imperial and around the UK.

The headline speakers are: 

  • Garth Wells (University of Cambridge)
  • Martin Sandve Alnæs (Simula Research Laboratory, Oslo)
  • Patrick Farrell (Imperial College London)

The half-day workshop takes place on the 18th of June, from 1–5 pm.

If you are interested in attending, please register in advance so that we know the catering numbers. To register, please contact Patrick Farrell by the 4th of June.

We are also inviting contributions from anyone else using or developing FEniCS at Imperial or the wider computational science community. If you are interested in giving a talk about your research, please contact Patrick Farrell with a title and abstract.

FEniCS training workshop, June 29, 2012, Imperial College London

The second event is a half-day training course on the FEniCS system, given by Marie Rognes (Simula Research Laboratory, Oslo). Dr. Rognes will give a hands-on tutorial suitable for beginners. The training course will be of interest to anyone who uses or develops software for solving partial differential equations as a part of their research.

The training course takes place on the 29th of June, from 1–5 pm. To register, please contact Patrick Farrell by the 20th of June.

Attendance at both events is free of charge.
