On behalf of NUMIFORM2013 organizing committee, it is our privilege to invite you to the 11th International Conference on Numerical Methods in Industrial Forming Processes, July 6-10, 2013, in Shenyang, Liaoning, China! We are honored to host this event, for the first time, and look forward to welcoming our friends and colleagues from all around the world. The NUMIFORM conference series introduced by Prof.O.C.Zienkiewicz in 1982 is taking place every three year at alternating locations around the globe: Swansea (UK, 1982), Gothenburg ( Sweden, 1986), Fort Collins ( USA, 1989), Valbonne (France, 1992), NY (USA, 1995), Enschede (Netherlands, 1998), Toyohashi (Japan, 2001), Ohio (USA, 2004), New Porto (Portugal, 2007), and Pohang (Korea, 2010). This international conference was held to provide a forum where recent advances and future directions in the numerical simulations of manufacturing processes were discussed by engineers and scientists from industry and academia worldwide. The topics covered in the conference should be of great interest not only to numerical analysts but also to professionals and researchers involved in traditional and novel manufacturing technologies for conventional and emerging materials. We extend the warmest welcome to all, and hope that you enjoy 2013 in Shenyang we hope that you feel completely at home, as we try our best to match the hospitality offered by earlier hosts of NUMIFORM workshops. While attending NUMIFORM2013 in Shenyang we hope that you feel completely at home, as we try our best to match the hospitality offered by earlier hosts of NUMIFORM workshops. We have planned several social and cultural events for you to enjoy and learn more about China, well known for her own cultural diversity. We hope that you will take the opportunity to socialize and network with new acquaintances, and build upon those relationships which have already been established to sustain our collaboration. Registration is open on March 31, 2013, and hotel reservation may be made directly with the hotel by phone or email.
