		              SciTools'96

 	     International Workshop on Modern Software Tools 
	                for Scientific Computing

		 FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS 

			   September 16-18, 1996
			       Oslo, Norway

		Organized by SINTEF Applied Mathematics and 
			  the University of Oslo

The aim of this workshop is to put a focus on modern state-of-the-art
software techniques applied to challenging numerical problems. To
highlight recent works in this direction, we are pleased to feature
invited presentations by

	Richard Bartels, University of Waterloo (Canada),
	Chris Johnson,	 University of Utah (USA),
	Ulrich Ruede,    Technical University of Munich (Germany),
	Barry Smith,     Argonne National Laboratory (USA).

In addition, we welcome the submission of contributed talks (25 minutes)
from academia as well as from industry.  Relevant subjects include (but
are not limited to): Design of large software codes, computational
efficiency, application of object-oriented programming techniques to
scientific computing, reliability of numerical software, parallel
computing. Experiences from ongoing projects utilizing modern software
development techniques are particularly welcome. The deadline for
submission of abstracts (maximum 1 page long) is May 15, 1996.

The international publisher Birkhauser is considering the publication of
a book based on carefully selected contributions to the SciTools'96
workshop. 

For further information on the scope and contents of the workshop, as
well as on procedures for registration and submission of abstracts, see
