About the BAIL Conference Series

The BAIL conferences focus on all aspects of computational and analytical methods for boundary and interior layers, and singular perturbation problems . Special emphasis is laid on the mathematical foundation of such methods. Topics in any scientific field (fluid mechanics, semiconductor modelling, control theory, aerodynamics and hydrodynamics, chemical kinetics, etc.) in which boundary and interior layers occur are welcome.

The first BAIL conference was organised by Prof. John Miller in Trinity College Dublin, Ireland in 1980. Apart from two hiatuses, BAIL conferences have been held biennially since then:

• BAIL I, Dublin, Ireland (1980)
• BAIL II, Dublin, Ireland (1982)
• BAIL III, Dublin, Ireland (1984)
• BAIL IV, Novosibirsk, USSR (1986)
• BAIL V, Shanghai, China (1988)
• BAIL VI, Colorado, USA (1992)
• BAIL VII, Beijing, China (1994)
• BAIL 2002, Perth, Australia
• BAIL 2004, Toulouse, France
• BAIL 2006, Göttingen, Germany
• BAIL 2008, Limerick, Ireland
• BAIL 2010, Zaragoza, Spain
• BAIL 2012, Pohang, Korea
• BAIL 2014, Prague, Czech Republic
