ENIEF 2014 : XXI Congress on Numerical Methods and their Applications

23 - 26 September 2014, Bariloche, Argentina

The XXI Congress on Numerical Methods and their Applications (ENIEF 2014) took place from September 23th to September 26nd, 2014 in the city of Bariloche, Argentina. It was organized by the Department of Computational Mechanics of the National Comission of Atomic Energy, the Balseiro Institute and the Bariloche Atomic Center.

The organizing committee was chaired by Mariano Cantero, and integrated by Claudio Padra, Enzo Dari, Pablo Argañaras, Daniela Arnica,Graciela Bertolino, Florencia Cantargi, Matías Farías, Pablo García Martinez, Alejandra González, Gabriel Paissan, Fernando Quintana, Roberto Saliba, Natalia Salva, Mario Scheble, Nicolas Silin, Federico Teruel and Eduardo Villarino.

The Congress counted with invited lectures: S. Balachandar (Institute for Computational Engineering, University of Florida, USA), Alberto Cardona (CIMEC, UNL-CONICET, Argentina), Ramón Codina (CIMNE, UPC, España), Ricardo G. Durán (UBA, Argentina), Leo Gonzalez (U. Politécnica Madrid, España), Adrian Lew (Stanford University, USA), Norberto Nigro (CIMEC, UNL-CONICET, Argentina), Rizwan Uddin (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA), Rodolfo Rodriguez (Universidad de Concepción, Chile) y Pablo D. Zavattieri (Purdue University, USA).

275 persons attended the Congress. Full length papers were submitted to a review process prior to publication. From them, 336 papers were accepted and published in the proceedings which are publicly available at the website:

A special session, in honor of Dr. Fernando Basombrío, took place. Dr. F. Basombrío is one of the pioneers of computational Mechanics in Argentina and one of the founders of AMCA. The First ENIEF was organized by Dr. Basombrió in Bariloche in 1983.

A special session was devoted to graduate and undergraduate students, with awards for the best posters.
