NUMELEC 2008 is a conference dedicated to electromagnetic field computation. It aims at offering to both communities, working respectively in the domains of low and high frequencies, the possibility to meet. Organized during three days, it will include oral and poster sessions, and is complemented by discussion sessions focused on shared subjects. This will allow to point out some headlines which could be useful for both communities.

Major topics of the Conference are:

Topic 1: General problems
Formulations, radiation and scattering, boundary conditions, absorbing boundaries, time dependent  domains, etc.

Topic 2: Computation methods
Numerical methods: finite elements, boundary integral method, equivalent charge method, finite difference, meshless methods, etc.Mesh generation, error estimators, mixed methods, fast methods, asymptotic methods, other methods.

Topic 3: Methods to solve large systems
Iterative methods, multipole methods, preconditioners, eigenvalue problems, parallel and vector computations.

Topic 4: Material modelling
Superconducting materials, composite materials, anisotropy, photonic bandgap structures, absorbing materials, permanent magnets, homogenization, ferromagnetic, ferroelectrics, metamaterials, active materials.

Topic 5: Coupled problems
Multi-physic problems, electromagnetic field problems coupled to thermal or mechanical problems, magneto-hydrodynamics, electric and electronic circuits, plasma.

Topic 6: Design and optimization
Sensitivity analysis, optimization, experimental designs, neural networks, inverse problems, software environments.

Topic 7: Applications
EMC, electrical machines, microwave and induction heating, interaction between waves and organic or inorganic matter, eddy current or microwave non destructive testing, antennas, S.E.R., circuits, education.
