= ''ANUGA - Present Applications and Future Potential'', 16-17 September 2008 at Geoscience Australia =

ANUGA is a Free and Open Source Software implementation of the Shallow Water Wave equations which has been developed by Geoscience Australia (GA) and the Australian National University (ANU) since 2004 (see [http://www.ga.gov.au/image_cache/GA7981.pdf ModSim 2005 proceedings]). The software can be downloaded online at http://sourceforge.net/projects/anuga.
ANUGA has primarily been used for tsunami inundation modelling (see e.g. [http://www.ga.gov.au/ausgeonews/ausgeonews200609/modelling.jsp AusGeoNews 2006]), due to the worldwide interest in tsunamis triggered by the events of Boxing Day 2004. Presently, there is an increasing interest in developing ANUGA into a tool for flood modelling, dam break studies and modelling of coastal processes (see e.g. [http://www.rienco.com.au/index.php?v=Research_and_Development Rigby]). 

== Workshop objectives ==
 * Bringing the user community closer together 
 * Sharing different case studies where ANUGA is being used to model hydrodynamic systems 
 * Discussing and making prioritised recommendations for the future development of ANUGA. 

== Invitation ==
