Subject: BGCE Student Paper Prize

Let us direct your attention to the 5th BGCE Student Paper Prize to be
awarded at the 2015 SIAM CS&E Conference, March 14-18, 2015, in Salt
Lake City, Utah, for outstanding student work in the field of
Computational Science and Engineering.

Founder of the prize is the Bavarian Graduate School of Computational
Engineering (BGCE, http://www.bgce.de/ ). The prize winner will be
invited to spend one week (air fare and lodging expenses covered) in
Bavaria, Germany, visiting BGCE sites in Erlangen and Muenchen and
getting in contact with BGCE's educational and research program. The
main objective is to promote excellent students in CS&E and to foster
international exchange at an early career stage. Eligible for the
prize will be undergraduate and graduate students prior to receiving
their PhD (at date of submission).

Candidates are required to summarize their work in a short paper of at
most 4 pages. The prize finalists will be asked to present their work
at SIAM CS&E 2015 with a talk to be given in a special "CS&E Student
Prize Minisymposium" (on March 15, 2015). The papers and talks will be
evaluated by an international prize committee.  Excluded from the
competition are only students from our own universities, FAU and
TUM. Deadline for submissions to the BGCE Student Paper Prize is
December 14, 2014. Submissions should be sent in pdf format via email
to [log in to unmask]

Since we are interested in a broad and high-level competition, as we
had it in 2007, 2009, 2011, and 2013, we ask you to encourage suitable
candidates in your group or department to submit a paper and to
support their participation in SIAM CS&E 2015.

Subject: BlockIP: optimization package for large convex block-angular problems

BlockIP implements a specialized interior-point algorithm for large
scale convex separable problems (linear, quadratic or nonlinear) with
block-angular structure. For some classes of block-angular problems it
was from one to three orders of magnitude faster than state-of-the-art
standard optimization solvers.

Subject: STK 2.2.0 released

STK 2.2.0 has been released, please check it out!

http://sourceforge.net/projects/kriging/

http://octave.sourceforge.net/stk/

STK is a (not so) Small Toolbox for Kriging. Its primary focus in on
the interpolation / regression technique known as kriging, which is
very closely related to Splines and Radial Basis Functions, and can be
interpreted as a non-parametric Bayesian method using a Gaussian
Process (GP) prior. The STK also provides tools for the sequential and
non-sequential design of experiments. Even though it is, currently,
mostly geared towards the Design and Analysis of Computer Experiments
(DACE), the STK can be useful for other applications areas (such as
Geostatistics, Machine Learning, Non-parametric Regression, etc.).

A summary of user-visible changes is available here:
http://kriging.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/NEWS.html

STK is fully compatible with both GNU Octave (from release 3.2.4
onwards) and Matlab (from release R2007a onwards). It is brought to
you under the GNU Public Licence v3 (GPLv3).

This is to announce that there will be a sparse days conference in St
Girons, Ariege, France (one hour from Toulouse) from 29th June to 2nd
July 2015.

This conference can be thought of as a sequel to the meetings in St
Girons in 1994 and 2003 and will be held in the context of a CIMI
(http://www.cimi.univ-toulouse.fr/-What-is-CIMI-?lang=en) funded
semester that includes four workshops and the conference.

Because this is a longer and larger event, there will be no Sparse
Days at CERFACS next year.

There will shortly be more information about both the conference and

supervision of Prof. Serafim Kalliadasis, Department of Chemical
Engineering, Imperial College, Prof. Grigorios A. Pavliotis,

The project concerns the development and implementation of both
theoretical and computational methodologies for the description of
classical fluids using elements from applied and computational
mathematics, statistical mechanics and stochastic processes. The
ultimate aim is the derivation, analysis and understanding of reduced,
low-dimensional models which allow the systematic predictive analysis
of soft matter in a wide range of physically, biologically and
technologically relevant settings. This will also guide and motivate
numerical experiments to validate the theoretical predictions.

The successful candidate should have a PhD (or equivalent) in
Mathematics, Engineering, Science, or other related area and a strong
foundation on general mathematical modelling, mathematical techniques
(analytical and numerical), thermodynamics and statistical
mechanics. A good knowledge of density functional theory of classical
fluids is highly desirable.

Subject: Postdoc Positions, SAMSI

Up to 6 postdoctoral fellowships are available at the Statistical and
Applied Mathematical Sciences Institute for the two SAMSI Research
Programs for 2015-16: Challenges in Computational Neuroscience (CCNS)
and Statistics and Applied Mathematics in Forensic Science
(Forensics). Appointments up to 2 years, will begin in August 2015,
and will offer competitive salaries, travel stipend, health insurance.

Challenges in Computational Neuroscience (CCNS): The CCNS program will
develop mathematical and statistical methods for neuroscience
applications to understand the underlying mechanisms that bridge
multiple spatial and temporal scales, linking the activity of
individual components (e.g., molecular biology, genetics, and neuron
networks), and their interactions to the complex dynamic behavior of
the brain and nervous system.

Statistics and Applied Mathematics in Forensic Science (Forensics): In
response to the NRC, White House, and congressional call for forensic
reform, that includes a greater statistical and mathematical presence,
SAMSI announces a yearlong program in forensic science. The central
goal is to strengthen the statistical and applied mathematical bases
of forensic science.

Application to SAMSI: Go to mathjobs.org, SAMSIPD2015 Job #6133. In
your cover letter, please indicate your interest in one of the two
programs (CCNS or Forensics).

Criteria for selection of SAMSI Postdoctoral Fellows include
demonstrated research ability in statistical and/or applied
mathematical sciences, computational skills along with good verbal and
written communication abilities, and finally, a strong interest in the
SAMSI program areas. The deadline for full consideration is December
15, 2014, although later applications will be considered as resources
permit.

Subject: PhD Positions, Sparse Matrices, Parallel Comp, Texas A&M

I have several openings for funded PhD positions in my new position at
Texas A&M University.  I'm looking for students who love to work in
the interplay of applied math, combinatorics and graph algorithms, and
reliable high-performance software.  If you're interested, or know of
anyone interested, please contact me.

Subject: New SMAI Journal of Computational Mathematics

SMAI, the French society of applied and industrial mathematics, is
launching a new journal for computational mathematics.  The journal
will publish high quality research articles in numerical analysis and
scientific computation.  Peer review, production, and dissemination
will be similar to the best traditional journals, but there is a major
difference: all papers will be COMPLETELY FREE TO BOTH READERS AND
AUTHORS, thanks to the guaranteed financial support of the journal
from SMAI, CNRS, and INRIA.  Comparable commercial journals charge
many thousands of dollars per annum for subscription and/or for author
fees, so this new model may prove very important for our community.

Please help by sending strong papers in computational mathematics to
the journal.  More information can be found at the journal web page at
https://ojs.math.cnrs.fr/index.php/SMAI-JCM

Subject: Special Issue, JMS on Adaptive Moving Mesh Methods

We are pleased to announce an upcoming special issue of the Journal of
Mathematical Study (http://www.global-sci.org/jms/) on Adaptive Moving
Mesh Methods.  Adaptive moving mesh methods attempt to redistribute
the underlying physical mesh in a continuous manner, automatically
adapting to the physical solution features while keeping the number of
mesh nodes or elements and mesh topology fixed. We invite authors to
submit their original, full length research articles using the article
submission at http://www.global-sci.org/jms/ by December 31,
2014. Please indicate AMMM special issue in the memo during
submission. All articles will undergo a rigorous refereeing process by
experts in the field.

Please feel free to contact us should you have questions.
