we would like to invite you to attend our



         CONFERENCE ON HIGH PERFORMANCE SCIENTIFIC COMPUTING
                         March 27-31, 2000
                           Hanoi, Vietnam


                        CALL FOR PAPERS AND
                      REGISTRATION INFORMATION

High Performance Scientific Computing (HPSC) is an interdisciplinary
area that combines many fields such as mathematics, computer science
and scientific and engineering applications. It is a key high-technology
for competitiveness in industrialized countries as well as for speeding
up development in emerging countries.

HPSC develops methods for computer aided simulation and optimization for
systems and processes. In practical applications in industry and commerce,
science and engineering, it helps to save resources, to avoid pollution,
to reduce risks and costs, to improve product quality, to shorten
development times or simply to operate systems better.

High performance in HPSC can mean highly efficient algorithms and software
as well as high computing power of the hardware, e.g. parallel systems.

TOPICS
include, but are not limited to...

 - mathematical modelling
 - numerical simulation
 - methods for optimization and control
 - parallel architectures
 - parallel programming
 - symbolic computing
 - software development
 - applications of Scientific Computing in
     environmental and hydrology problems
     physics, mechanics and chemistry
     transport, logistics and site location
     communication networks, production scheduling
     energy management, investment strategies
     industrial and commercial problems

The conference is organized jointly by
   DFG-Sonderforschungsbereich 359, Heidelberg University
   Institute of Information Technology, Vietnam NCST
   Institute of Mathematics, Vietnam NCST
   Institute of Mechanics, Vietnam NCST
   Interdisciplinary Center for Scientific Computing Heidelberg (IWR)

VISA INFORMATION
To enter Vietnam foreigners need an entry visa which is usually granted
at Vietnamese embassies and consulates abroad. Tourist visas can be
applied directly there. Business travellers should apply for a visa
through the Vietnamese host. In our case, the local organizers of the
conference should apply for a visa approval for their foreign guests
at the Ministery of Public Security of Vietnam. After that the relevant
Vietnamese embassy or consulate will be informed of the approval by fax.
We will notify you of the date of this fax as well as an approval number.
You must then send (or bring in person)
  - your passport
  - approval number and date of fax
  - two (or more?) passport photos
to your Vietnamese embassy or consulate to obtain your visa. In general,
some visa fees are charged (except the owners of Official Passport
or Service Passport coming from such countries having appropriate
contracts with Vietnam).

For this application, the following information must be sent to us at
the e-mail address
                      [log in to unmask]
  - Full name
  - Date and place of birth
  - Profession
  - Passport number
  - Date and place of issue and expiry date
  - Original nationality
    Present nationality
  - Date and point of entry to Vietnam
  - How long to stay in Vietnam?
  - At what Vietnamese embassy or consulate do you want to collect your visa?

Don't forget to do the same for YOUR ACCOMPANYING PERSONs.
