CALL FOR PAPERS
2009 Conference on Advances in Computational Tools for Engineering Applications
ACTEA 2009
July 15-17, 2009
Notre Dame University, Lebanon
OVERVIEW
Computational tools are evolving rapidly as computers are being applied to a wide variety of engineering fields and disciplines. The benefits of using computer simulations in production and research are indisputable, and involve more efficient utilization of resources and its resulting cost saving. ACTEA 2009 aims at bringing together researchers and companies, and providing a common platform for researchers and engineers involved in computational tools to advance the state of knowledge by sharing research results and pioneering views about recent trends and developments. ACTEA 2009 is technically co-sponsored by the IEEE Lebanon Section.

CALL FOR EXHIBITS AND WORKSHOPS
ACTEA 2009 will feature a technical exhibition which will be an opportunity for industry to exhibit simulation and computational tools, and related products. We also solicit workshop proposals on new and emerging topics in computational tools in various engineering fields. For workshop proposal submission and exhibitor information, contact the conference committee at actea09@ndu.edu.lb by April 15, 2009.
LOCATION
The conference will be held at Notre Dame University in Zouk Mosbeh (18 km north of Beirut), a lovely place squeezed between the Mediterranean sea and the cavernous Jeita Grotto which is one of the most impressive subterranean displays of stalactites and stalagmites of the planet. ACTEA 2009 offers the opportunity to explore Lebanon with its legendary hospitality, natural and touristic sites, and its delicious food; it is indeed a unique place to visit. The area offers some of the best of Lebanon in hotels, restaurants, shopping centers, theaters, cinemas, art galleries, and sand beaches.
