Objectives

The 1st Yade Workshop will be organised on 7-9 June in Grenoble, France.

The main objective of this workshop is to gather people interested in DEM-related developments and discuss different topics 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 the 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 focused on the Yade project.

The 1st Yade Workshop will be an opportunity for the people developping Yade-DEM or other DEM codes to meet each other, share ideas and elaborate workplans and cooperations.

In the third day, a coding session suggested by Klaus Thoeni might be organised for Yade devs.
