- Abstract
- The Ad Hoc Mathematical Fire Modeling Working Group was organized about eight years ago to facilitate voluntary cooperation and coordination in developing mathematical fire modeling capability. The group has a steering committee of representatives of agencies that support fire modeling and related research. These include the National Bureau of Standards' Center for Fire Research, Factory Mutual Research Corp., the Naval Research Laboratory, NASA, and the Federal Aviation Agency. The Group holds plenary meetings when it seems desirable to do so (about once each 1 1/2 years), and workshops on topical subjects. Normally, Group meetings are held before or after other meetings at which a number of interested personnel would likely be present. Minutes are mailed to those who attended and to others (including European and Japanese personnel) who have indicated interest. This workshop was held at the National Bureau of Standards Center for Fire Research, Gaithersburg, MD, in May 1984.
