Dear Nek5000 Users: We are pleased to invite you to attend the first Nek5000 Workshop, to be held at Argonne National Laboratory on December 9th and 10th, 2010. The intent is to bring developers and users of Nek5000 together to promote collaborative activities, exchange information, and share experiences in areas of common interest. The schedule is under development, but we are currently planning to have technical sessions on both days, December 9th and December 10th, including hands-on sessions in the use of Nek5000, VisIt, and Cubit. One objective of the workshop is to assist users in defining their simulation problems and to address technical issues that they may face. Attendees are invited to contribute short (15 min.) presentations on their applications of Nek5000. Contributions should consist of an abstract (1-2 pages) and presentation slides. Please note that, as this is the first users meeting, we are uncertain of anticipated interest and may, therefore, cancel the meeting if we do not meet a critical attendance limit. It is imperative that you register by the deadline if you plan to attend, so that suitable arrangements can be made at Argonne National Laboratory.
