First announcement of the 14th International School/Symposium for Space Simulations (ISSS-14), 10-18 September 2020, KOBE, JAPAN
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the 14th International School/Symposium for Space Simulations (ISSS-14) to be held next year :
——————————————————————————————————
The14th International School/Symposium for Space Simulations (ISSS-14)
Website: https://isss14.org/
Date: 10-18 September 2020
Venue: The Integrated Research Center of Kobe University, Japan
(http://www.kobe-u.ac.jp/en/faculties_graduate_schools/research/kuirc.html)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please, mark now your calendar for ISSS-14 and forward this information to those who are interested in ISSS-14 in Kobe. We will update the conference information on the ISSS-14 website. We will announce the call for papers in February 2020.
We designed the International School/Symposium for Space Simulations (ISSS) for the teaching of space plasma simulation techniques and the sharing of state-of-the-art simulation advances and results with researchers in plasma physics. The first ISSS was held in Kyoto, Japan, in 1982. Since then, ISSS has regularly been held approximately every two to three years rotating between North America, Asia, and Europe. The most recent one, ISSS-13, was held at UCLA in September 2018 (https://conferences.pa.ucla.edu/ISSS13/).
ISSS-14 consists of two sections, the school, and the symposium. The followings are the topics to be covered in each section.
School section: lectures and tutorials (Some include “hands-on” exercises)
Particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation
Hybrid particle simulation
Test particle simulation
Vlasov simulation
Guiding center gyro-kinetic simulation
Code parallelization
Visualization
Advanced simulation
Symposium section: Oral and poster sessions
Solar Physics
Heliospheric Physics
Inner Magnetosphere
Magnetic Reconnection
M-I Coupling
Planets & Moon Environment
Nonlinear Wave-Particle Interactions
Turbulence
Shocks & Boundaries
Agencies/Groups/Missions
As established since ISSS-9 (in 2009, Guyancourt, France), "ISSS Prizes" will be defined by a jury to award the best students and young fellows posters. All participants are kindly encouraged to participate in the competition. Selection criteria will be provided on the Website.
Moreover, partial financial support will be provided for a limited number of students and young scientists, and its application procedure is to be announced.
Sincerely,
Hideyuki Usui (The LOC chair, Kobe University)
