Dear Colleagues,

We are very pleased to announce that the 3rd International 
Conference on Computational Engineering and Science for Safety 
and Environment Problems (COMPSAFE 2020, organized by JSCES* 
and JACM**, an APACM*** Thematic Conference and an IACM**** 
Special Interest Conference, https://compsafe2020.org/) will 
be held at Kobe, from March 8th to 11th, 2020. The conference 
venue is the Kobe International Conference Center, Kobe, Japan.

*JSCES: Japan Society of Computational Engineering and Sciences
**JACM: Japan Association for Computational Mechanics
***APACM: Asian Pacific Association for Computational Mechanics
****IACM: International Association for Computational Mechanics


The major objective of COMPSAFE 2020 is to bring together 
researchers, scientists and engineers from all over the world, 
who fight daily in the field of disaster prevention and mitigation, 
structural and material failure, safety and security maintenance, 
and so on. The topics of COMPSAFE 2020 include, but are not 
limited to: computational mechanics, computational engineering 
and science technologies, and their applications related to 
(1) safety- / risk-related, disaster-preventing topics including 
various types of natural hazards such as earthquake, tsunami, 
typhoon / hurricane / cyclone, flood, explosion of volcano, 
land slide, (2) any kinds of accidents and failures of engineering 
artifacts such as fractures, crashes, explosion, and 
(3) environmental and social problems such as air / water 
pollution, material failures, radioactive contamination, 
global environment problems, evacuation and so on.

Abstract submission for COMPSAFE 2020 is now open. Colleagues 
related to topics above are invited to submit one-page abstract 
before October 31, 2019. 

The submission of abstracts should be performed online.

****

Following the success of the first conference held in Sendai, 
Japan, during April 2014, and the second conference held in 
Chengdu, China, during October 2017, the Japan Society of 
Computational Engineering and Science (JSCES) and the Japan 
Association for Computational Mechanics (JACM) will jointly 
host the 3rd International Conference on Computational Engineering 
and Science for Safety and Environmental Problems (COMPSAFE2020) 
which will be held during March 8-11, 2020, in Kobe, Japan. 
This conference series is an APACM Thematic Conference and 
an IACM Special Interest Conference, aimed to bring together 
researchers and scientists from all over the world, who fight 
daily in the field of disaster prevention and mitigation, 
structural and material failure, safety and security maintenance, 
and so on. Other main topics of the conference include, but 
are not limited to: computational mechanics, computational 
engineering and science technologies, and their applications 
related to (1) safety- / risk-related, disaster-preventing 
topics including various types of natural hazards such as 
earthquake, tsunami, typhoon / hurricane / cyclone, flood, 
explosion of volcano, land slide, (2) any kinds of accidents 
and failures of engineering artifacts such as fractures, 
crashes, explosion, and (3) environmental and social problems 
such as air / water pollution, material failures, radioactive 
contamination, global environment problems, evacuation and so 
on. We hope this conference will play a role of creating 
networks between academia and industries and push forward 
the technologies in those fields.
