M.S. Paper Title:  FEM Software Automation with a case study on the  
Stokes equation.

Abstract: Finite Element Methods are the most popular methods for  
solving Partial
Differential Equations. Unlike Ordinary Differential Equations, there  
has not
been a complete solution to automating any simulation. Here we provide a
discussion on the trends in automation of FEM methods, some  
challenges to
automation, and a novel computational study of different methods solving
Stokes Equations made possible through automation.

Advisor:  Prof. L. Ridgway Scott
