Dear Colleague:

We are pleased to formally announce that the fourth International Symposium on Computational Geomechanics (ComGeo IV) will be held in Assisi (Italy), May 2-4th, 2018.

The format of this Symposium, which is a sequel to NUMOG (Numerical Models in Geomechanics) series, will be similar to that of previous ComGeo meetings, with the focus on preserving a high technical standard as well as an informal style. The scope will cover the traditional areas of geomechanics, including both computational and experimental aspects, as well as application to practical problems. In addition, contributions in the areas of petroleum engineering, geophysics and geo-environmental engineering are also welcomed.

The preliminary information can be viewed at the ComGeo website: http://www.ic2e.org/comgeo-iv/ which will be continually updated as new information becomes available.

You are invited to submit one-page abstract of your contribution in MS Word (.docx) or Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) format to pietrusz@mcmaster.ca with a copy to g.n.pande@swansea.ac.uk and claudio.tamagnini@unipg.it before October 30, 2017.

We look forward to receiving your abstract.

With best regards,

Stan Pietruszczak, Gyan Pande & Claudio Tamagnini

(for the Organizing Committee)
