[Bruno Chareyre <bruno.chareyre@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear all,

This message is to announce the

            1st YADE Workshop(*), in Grenoble, july 7 to july 9, 2014.

The main objective is to gather people interested in DEM-related developments, to discuss things like algorithmic issues, performance, parallelization, new models and couplings, experiences with various softwares, etc.

Applications of the DEM are not the priority. However, some time may be allocated for them in order to have an overview of the current trends on this side (maybe half a day, in the form of 15' talks), especially for those applications that require new developments.
The largest part of the workshop will be dedicated to the numerical/development aspects. And part of this (maybe the last day) will take the form of less formal meetings really focused on the Yade project.

This workshop should be the opportunity for us all in yade-dev to know each other more directly, share ideas, and elaborate plans for the future. Occasions for such meetings are really rare, since we are distributed a bit everywhere around the world.

With this email, I wanted to give you at least the dates, since jully is approaching already.
At the moment, I would like to estimate the number of participants from yade-dev before opening the annoucement to a larger audience.

*** If you think you will be able to attend the workshop, could you please send me an email? ***

The registration will be free of charge for yade-dev members (subscribing to yade-dev later than today will not count!).
A more detailed agenda will follow, which will be open for discussion here on yade-dev.
If you have suggestions regarding topics to discuss or special events that you would like to see, feel free to suggest.

With best regards.

Bruno Chareyre
