GiSmo developer days 2024
March 4th - 6th, 2024, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece
The G+Smo developers days will take place in Thessaloniki, from Monday, March 4th at 08:45 until Wednesday, March 6th afternoon, at OK!Thess, Google Map.
On Monday, we will have a visit to BETA CAE Systems. BETA is a CAE software company, based in Thessaloniki, which offers a suite of programs covering the whole CAE workflow, from preprocessing, solving, post-processing, data management and more. In the recent years they have incorporated some IGA-related functionalities into their software and are aiming to better integrate IGA into the CAE pipeline. Thus it will be interesting to get to know their software suites and discuss IGA-related topics and challenges.

The abstracts of all the scheduled presentations can be found here.
The developer days will include tutorials, short presentations, discussions and hands-on sessions around current and future developments. It is the opportunity to meet and network with other developpers, and work on ideas and related topics.
- Spline models, parameterizations, point-cloud fitting
- Isogeometric variational formulations implementations
- Parallelization using openMP and MPI
- Adaptivity using hierarchical splines
- Optimization, solvers, etc..

Please register by completing this form by January 15, 2024, the latest. If you have problems please contact chriskarampatzakis@gmail.com.
Any accommodation in the center of the city is okay.
(ordered from closest to the University to closest to nightlife)
- ABC Hotel, 500m from the University.
- Pillow Urban Stay, situated close to the University and the White Tower of Thessaloniki.
- Teight Hotel
- Egnatia Palace
- No.15 Ermou Hotel
- COLORS Urban Hotel
Thessaloniki has an international airport (SKG) which offers flights from/to most major European airports, thus getting there by plane is by far the easiest option. There are frequent flights to/from Athens, so connecting flights with a layover there, are also a good option.
To get from the airport to the city center, you can catch bus line 01X ( or 01N during the night ) ( ticket costs 1.8€, takes ~0.5-1hr depending on traffic) which will take you to all the major places in the center, without doing all of the intermediate stops. If you prefer a little more comfort you can catch a taxi from the airport to the city ( it should be 20-30€ depending on the destination and the time of day).
You can buy tickets for the bus at kiosks ( places where they sell press, cigarettes etc. ) or you can buy the ticket vending machines on the bus. Please note that the machines do not give change and do not accept cards! So if you plan to use those, you need to have coins with you. The ticket price is 0.90€ for a single trip.
The bus stops that are close to OKThess, our event's venue, are:
- coming from the city center: Vaphopouleio bus lines 03K, 05, 05A, 06.
- Going to the city center: 25is Martiou bus lines 03K, 05, 05A, 06.
The ride with a taxi from the city center should not cost more than ~10€ (venue's address is Komotinis 2 ) . Also if you enjoy walking, you can walk along Thessaloniki's promenade ( it's beautiful but around ~4km long ) from the city center directly to the venue or even rent a shared bike for the commute ( via the "FREENOW" App ).
Please use to scratchpad to put ideas and suggestions before and during the workshop.
