sub-disciplines, each dedicated to handling a subset of the overall problem. A
key observation is that computational research is widespread in all subfields.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">The “Resilient Cities through Computation” workshop will
bring together researchers from around the world who are working on various
aspects of disaster science and engineering to: 1) exchange information, and 2)
discuss means by which to leverage their shared computational interest for
achieving community resilience.</p>
