ACME, the UK Association for Computational Mechanics in Engineering, was 
formed in March 1992 to both promote research in computational mechanics 
within the UK, and to establish formal links with similar organisations 
in Europe and worldwide.

ISSEC, the Irish Society for Scientific and Engineering Computation, was 
formed in the same year to act as a focal point for people with a common 
interest in aspects of scientific and engineering computation. Both 
organisations are affiliated to the European Community on Computational 
Methods in Applied Sciences (ECCOMAS).

This year, the annual meetings ACME and ISSEC will be combined and 
hosted by the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the 
Queen's University of Belfast on April 19-20 2006 . Please note that 
this is one day earlier than the dates proposed at the last conferences.

Both meetings offer an annual forum for researchers to present their 
developments in engineering computation. The meeting should be 
especially suitable for researchers in the early stages of their career 
to gain experience in presenting, and to meet others working in related 
areas.

You are invited to submit a 1-page abstract for a 15-minute talk at this 
symposium. Further details of the call for abstracts for this symposium 
can be found at http://www.me.qub.ac.uk/ai06/.

Belfast has become a top UK weekend break destination and is served by 
budget airlines from a large number of UK airports, as well as Cork in 
the RoI. Travel costs to Belfast will almost certainly be less than UK 
mainland rail travel. This is an excellent opportunity for the two 
communities to interact in a supportive environment.
