  Nonlinear Dynamics (NLD) brings together researchers from multiple disciplines, from Mathematics, Physics, Biology, and Chemistry, to Engineering, Economics, and Medicine, supplying them with a common language. We hope that EUROATTRACTOR Schools will promote the integration of development of NLD in Europe by attracting young researchers from many countries and from multiple disciplines to learn the methods and applications of NLD from leading scientists in the field, and by including small and medium enterprises (SMEs) which utilise methods of NLD in their products. The overall objective is to have a harmonised, coherent and integrated European system of interaction between young researchers and leading scientists, between academia and industry, giving an opportunity of scientific exchange among seemingly distant disciplines, and, most of all, bringing young researchers in touch with "science in making".

  Objectives: The principal objective of EUROATTRACTOR Schools is to facilitate advanced multidisciplinary training in NLD. The planned topics of the EUROATTRACTOR Schools are:

  EUROATTRACTOR2000 - Nonlinear Dynamics in Biomedicine, Physics and Chemistry;

  EUROATTRACTOR2001 - Nonlinear Dynamics in Economy and Social Sciences;

  EUROATTRACTOR2002 - Nonlinear Dynamics in Environmental and Biological Sciences.

• First SIAM meeting on Computational Science and Engineering, 21-23 September 2000.

  Wyndham City Center Hotel, Washington D.C., USA.

  Computational Science & Engineering (CS&E) is now widely accepted, along with theory and experiment, as a crucial third mode of scientific investigation and engineering design. Aerospace, automotive, biological, chemical, semiconductor, and other industrial sectors now rely on simulation for technical decision support. For federal agencies also, CS&E has become an essential support for decisions on resources, transportation, and defense.
  CS&E is by nature interdisciplinary. It grows out of physical applications and it depends on computer architecture, but at its heart are powerful algorithms. Much of CS&E has involved analysis, but the future surely includes optimization and design, and especially in the presence of uncertainty. Another mathematical frontier is the assimilation of very large data sets through such techniques as adaptive multiresolution, automated feature search, and low-dimensional parameterization.
  SIAM is conducting this conference on CS&E to draw attention to the tremendous range of major computational efforts on large problems in science and engineering, to promote the interdisciplinary culture required to meet these large-scale challenges, and to encourage the training of the next generation of computational scientists.

  Aims: The two main themes of this three-week conference are (a) three dimensional aspects of nonlinear waves and patterns and (b) wind-wave, wave-wave and wave-turbulence interactions. Subthemes at the conference will include: Large-amplitude and breaking waves; Wind-wave and wave-wave interactions; Hamiltonian and multi-symplectic formulations; Solitary waves and fronts; Water-wave turbulence and Euler-turbulence; Linear and nonlinear asymptotic models; Stability of waves and patterns; Effect of dissipation and forcing; Analysis and development of model PDEs; Statistical versus deterministic nonlinear models; The limiting form of 3D waves; Integrability of water waves and model PDE. The conference organisers are S E Belcher (Reading), T J Bridges (Surrey) and S G Sajjadi (Salford). As planning develops, information about the conference will be posted at the website
