Full Conference Listing
August
2000
- International Conference on
Mathematics in Biology Annual Meeting of the Society for
Mathematical Biology, 3-5 August 2000.
- Salt lake City, Utah, USA.
- Stokes Millennium
Summer School, 4-10 August 2000.
- Skreen, Co. Sligo, Ireland.
- For the Year 2000 Summer School, held at his birthplace, we will
be concentrating on a single aspect of Stokes's work, the
Navier-Stokes Equations: Computational Methods and Applications.
These will include physical theory, engineering applications,
numerical and analytical methods, including techniques such as
asymptotics, singular perturbations, and similarity solutions.
The format will be an instructional course followed by a
workshop.
- Dynamo
and Dynamics, A Mathematical Challenge, 21-26
August 2000.
- Cargese, France.
-
- The onset and dynamics of a magnetic field
sustained by the motion of an electrically
conducting fluid (the dynamo problem), is
typically one in which a multidisciplinary
expertise is very important in order to solve
even the most basic questions.
The aim of the workshop is to facilitate
interaction and discussions among three major
research areas related to the dynamo problem: 1)
large scale simulations 2) nonlinear dynamics -
bifurcations, chaos and spatio-temporal data
analysis 3) laboratory scale experiments.
A major goal of the workshop is to relate
theoretical developments in astrophysics, MHD and
dynamical systems theory to recent simulation
experiments and to the real experiments currently
coming on line. More details can be found at http://www.math.colostate.edu/~juliana/cargese.html
September
2000
- International Workshop on
Flucturations and Superfluidity, 2-3 September 2000.
- Lancaster (UK).
- Fluctuations in classical and quantum systems: superfluid helium,
2D electrons, chemistry, physiology, the early universe
and other nonequilibrium systems.
- BEN 22 - 22nd International Conference on the Boundary
Element Method, 4-6 September 2000.
- New Hall, Cambridge University, UK.
- Second International Conference on Boundary Integral Methods:
Theory and Applications, 11-15 September 2000.
- University of Bath, UK.
- Boundary integral methods are now an established
technique for the solution of partial
differential equations in science and engineering,
with applications in many diverse areas including
fluid mechanics, fracture mechanics, acoustics,
electromagnetics, inverse problems and free and
moving-boundary problems.
This meeting will provide a forum for the
exchange of ideas between academic and industrial
researchers in different disciplines whose common
interest is boundary integral methods.
As well as discussing recent developments in the
theory and numerical analysis of boundary
integral equations, the conference will strive to
encompass applications of contemporary relevance
such as direct and inverse (medium and high
frequency) scattering, electromagnetics and
moving boundary problems in hydrodynamics.
Continuing progress in key computational
techniques such as multipole, wavelets and panel
clustering, together with innovative algorithm
design will be an additional theme.

- 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.
