1. Introduction

This bibliography provides a list of references on object-oriented techniques implemented to"nite element and boundary element methods (FEM and BEM). General solution techniques aswell as problem-speci"c applications are included. The entries have been retrieved from theauthors database, MAKEBASE. They are grouped into two main sections:

f Finite elementsf Boundary elements

The references have been published in scienti"c journals, conference proceedings, andtheses/dissertations between 1996}1999 [1}111,138}148]. Some previously published reviews andbooks on the object-oriented programming applied to FEM and BEM in general can be found inentries [112}137] of the Finite element methods section and in [149}152] of the Boundary elementmethods section of this bibliography, respectively. The references are sorted in each categoryalphabetically according to the "rst authors name.

The main topics include: object-oriented modelling; symbolic computing; automatic program-ming; object-oriented decomposition; object-oriented rule-based reasoning; derivation of FE- andBE-codes; modularity in object-oriented programming; program architecture; data management;graphical user interface; visualization systems; implementations on distributed memory machines;parallel processing; adaptive techniques; speci"c software tools.
