Date: November 27, 2013
Subject: PySIT: Python Seismic Imaging Toolbox v0.5

Russell J. Hewett and Laurent Demanet of the Imaging and Computing
Group at MIT are pleased to announce the first public release of
PySIT: a Seismic Imaging Toolbox for Python.  PySIT is available at
http://www.pysit.org.

PySIT is a research and pedagogical package for optimization-based
seismic imaging, in the framework of full waveform inversion (FWI),
built using the standard tools of scientific Python.

PySIT is designed to be a common platform from which the community can
rapidly prototype and reproducibly benchmark new techniques against
well-known methods from the literature. The package also contains a
quick-start guide for newcomers to imaging and wave equations. A suite
of gallery problems is provided, including access to community models
such as the Marmousi and BP velocity models.

PySIT is freely available under a BSD license, and development will
continue under an open model. Community contributions are welcome.
Code documentation and cross-platform installation instructions are
available on the project's web page.

The PySIT team is grateful for support from Total SA, the ERL
consortium at MIT, AFOSR, ONR, and NSF.

Please feel free to contact us on the Google Groups forum for the
project, https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/pysit, with any
questions.

Black-Box Global Optimization: Fast Algorithms and Engineering
Applications (special session at the CST2014: The Twelfth
International Conference on Computational Structures Technology)
2-5 September 2014
Hotel Royal Continental, Naples, Italy
http://www.civil-comp.com/conf/cstect2014/cst2014-s23.htm

The aim of this session is to create a multidisciplinary discussion
platform focused on new theoretical, computational and applied results
in solving black-box multiextremal optimization problems. In these
problems, frequently encountered in engineering design, the objective
function and constraints (if any) are multidimensional functions with
unknown analytical representations often evaluated by performing
computationally expensive simulations. Researchers from both
theoretical and applied sciences are welcome to present their recent
developments concerning this important class of optimization
problems. To encourage young researchers to attend these conferences a
1000 Euro Young (35 years or younger) Researcher Best Paper Prize will
be awarded to the best paper presented at the conferences.  Further
details can be found at:

Subject: Internship/PhD Position, Ocean-atmosphere coupling, France

The french National Institute for research in computer science and
control is seeking candidates for a master's level internship (6
months, starting end of March / early April 2014) leading to a PhD
position (36 months) based in Grenoble, France. The successful
candidate will join the MOISE (https://team.inria.fr/moise/en/)
research team.

In the context of this thesis, we would like to study the numerical
implementation of ocean-atmosphere coupling in IPCC-like climate
models. Current coupling methods are ad-hoc methods which are not
fully satisfactory from a mathematical point of view. We intend to
study multiphysics coupling algorithms in this context, and how the
mathematical formulation of the turbulent air/sea fluxes in the
atmospheric surface layer could fit in this framework. A complete
description of the work proposed for the master's internship is
available at
