The developments in boundary element research in recent decades have been mainly attributable to the innovation of efficient computational techniques by introducing boundary elements for discretization of the boundary integral equations. Owing to the many important breakthroughs in this domain, BEM has been widely recognized as one of the main techniques in computer-aided engineering (CAE). BEM is an efficient tool for optimal shape design and other topical inverse problems. Further advances continue to be made in innovating and developing more efficient solution procedures based on BEM for both linear and nonlinear problems. The impact of advanced computer technology, including down-sizing and networks as well as super and parallel computers, is a major influencing factor in the further extensions and applications of BEM. The most important topics in BEM are described here by well-known researchers in the field. The 38 papers are characterized by a combination of tutorial and state-of-the-art aspects.
