How to find the lecture rooms<strong>The</strong> <strong>Tenth</strong> <strong>International</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> on Computational Structures Technology(CST2010) and the Seventh <strong>International</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> on Engineering ComputationalTechnology (ECT2010) take place concurrently. Participants may attend sessions fromeither conference. <strong>The</strong> general conference timetable is given on page 11. Pages 13 to 21provide session summaries. <strong>The</strong> detailed programme starts on page 22.<strong>The</strong> conferences use two separate buildings on the campus of the UniversidadPolitécnica de Valencia (UPV) (see page 6 and 7):• Building 6G, referred to as the NEXUS Building, on the south side of the centralgreen zone that divides the campus (see page 8).• Building 7B&7E, referred to as the ETSID Building, on the north side of the centralgreen zone that divides the campus. (see page 9)<strong>The</strong> conference registration desk is located on the ground floor of the NEXUS Building.Please refer to the maps on the following pages or look for signs with the Civil-CompPress “tree” logo.<strong>The</strong> opening plenary session on Tuesday 14 September takes place in the lecture theatre,also on the ground floor of the NEXUS Building (see page 12).<strong>The</strong> CST2010 sessions take place in the lecture theatre and five rooms on the groundfloor of the ETSID Building and in the Aula ICE, which is on the ground floor of theNEXUS Building. Access to the Aula ICE is via the main door on the left as you enterthe NEXUS Building (see page 8).<strong>The</strong> ECT2010 sessions take place in the NEXUS Building: the lecture theatre on theground floor and three further rooms on the second floor.Coffee breaks take place in a tent located in the central green zone between the twobuildings (see page 7).Lunches take place in the Campus Restaurant “La Vella” located in Building 1B (seepage 6). Please follow the signs for the shortest route along the green zone to the restaurant.Desks are available in Rooms 2.7 and 2.11 on the second floor of the NEXUS Building.Wireless internet connection is available, but you must bring your own laptop. For yourunique login details, and setup instructions please refer to the letter in the envelopewhich you will receive upon arrival at the registration desk.For information on how to find the location of the <strong>Conference</strong> Dinner, please refer to the<strong>Conference</strong> Dinner ticket.5

A note for authors presenting papers and chairmenAll authors should meet at the front of the meeting room for their session at least 10minutes before the session starts. Each contributed paper has been allocated 15 minutesfor presentation and questions. Chairmen should indicate when 10 minutes have passedand again after 12 minutes that the presenter should immediately finish. Three minutesare available for questions and comments.Special lectures have been allocated 30 minutes in total, of which 5 minutes may beused for questions.Authors are kindly asked to keep to the time allocated to them by the Chairmen. Authorsare discouraged from using their own laptops for presentation unless absolutely necessary,in which case they should ensure that they can quickly and efficiently start theirpresentation when requested by the Chairman.Chairmen are requested to keep to the timetable. Changes to the programme will be indicatedon the copies of the programme displayed on the conference timetable board andat the entrance to each of the rooms.As a courtesy and in politeness to all speakers and other participants, please turn offyour mobile phone whenever you enter any of the meeting and lecture rooms.Computational Technology ResourcesA new online resource providing access to individual conference papers and book chaptersfrom Civil-Comp Press and Saxe-Coburg Publications. More than 5000 papers andbook chapters published since 1983.An essential resource for academics and researchers using and developingComputational Technology in all fields of Science and Engineering.www.CTResources.infoJournal special issue submissionFor details of the format specification and procedures for submitting conference papersfor possible publication in the journal special issues, please see the printed version ofthis programme which you will receive upon arrival at the registration desk.10
