This year, the Wessex Institute Institute of Technology celebrates 25 years organising international conferences with prestigious organisations around the world. Even before 1986, the founder of the Institute, Prof Carlos Brebbia, was organising conferences while at the University of Southampton; the first on Boundary Elements was held in 1978. Carlos has been associated with the boundary element method for over 40 years and as a result has a vast number of publications in this field including text books, journals and conference papers. Since then due to our success, over the years the conference programme has evolved into interdisciplinary events covering a wide range of subject areas.
The conferences organised by the Wessex Institute of Technology cover a variety of topics in the engineering and computational fields and many delegates return year on year because of the quality of the conference programme and corresponding conference book, which is always published to a very high standard.
Papers presented at Wessex Institute conferences are referenced by CrossRef and regularly appear in notable reviews, publications and databases including referencing and abstract services such as SCOPUS, Compendix, ISI Web Knowledge, Index to Scientific and Technical Proceedings, ProQuest and Scitech Book News. All conference books are archived in the British Library and American Library of Congress.
The Wessex Institute’s publishing arm, WIT Press, ensure maximum dissemination throughout the world of the research at our conferences through its offices in Europe, the USA and its extensive international distribution network. All conference papers are archived online in our eLibrary where they are immediately and permanently available to the international scientific community. The books are published in digital format as well as paper format.
