Consequently, the need for an applications forum, of sufficient scope to include all modeling techniques and commonly used codes, became readily apparent. There was further consensus that both a regular meeting (with published proceedings) and an additional publication were appropriate. To these ends, ACES was organized, in 1986. Now formally chartered and incorporated as a non-profit organization, ACES is an international, inter-disciplinary, professional society, with a wide range of activities and services. The interdisciplinary scope of ACES is pivotal to maintaining a ""cross-pollination"" between the high-frequency and low-frequency applications. ACES activities and services have expanded to include canonical problem solution workshops (to ""benchmark"" the performance of codes and techniques) and code user groups, in addition to the newsletter, the journal, and the annual symposia. Furthermore, a Software Exchange Committee, and a Software Performance Standards Committee, provide a means to exchange information about electromagnetic computational codes and their performance in real-world applications. At the symposia, short courses and software demonstrations are offered. The ACES Journal is administered by an international editorial board, which presently represents nine nations. |
