A collection of topic minisymposia forms the backbone of the Congress' technical program. A minisymposium consists of one or more technical sessions that focus on a specific topic or research area in Computational Mechanics. The technical sessions provide a flexible format that accommodates keynote lectures, invited, and contributed paper. Volunteer minisymposium organizers will develop each minisymposium individually. The organizers are responsible for the technical content of their minisymposium; they select invited participants, and review abstracts of contributed papers.

The Technical Program Chairs invite proposals for minisymposia from the Computational Mechanics community. All proposals must be submitted electronically via the Congress web site. There should be at least two organizers for each minisymposium; it is desirable that they represent more than one institution. The minisymposia proposals deadline is May 8, 2007.
