Subject: MMSC 2016, Bulgaria, Sep 2016

An international Workshop "Mathematical Modelling and Scientific
Computing (MMSC 2016)" will take place in Dobrich, Bulgaria, September
18-24, 2016, http://www.biomath.bg/MMSC2016/index.php
The deadline is extended to 22nd August 2016.

The goal of MMSC 2016 is to bring together scientists from diverse
areas of mathematics and computer science, as well as their
application in biology, biotechnology, ecology, medicine, physics,
chemistry, engineering, social sciences, etc. Among the goals of the
workshop is the stimulation of new research cooperation which would
lead to novel results.

The workshop is focused on modern aspects of mathematical modelling
and scientific computing that involve deep interplay between
computational problems and pure mathematical modeling questions. We
especially encourage participation of students and early career
researchers.

Keynote speakers:
Pavel Drabek, Dept. of Mathematics and NTIS,
University of West Bohemia in Pilsen, Czech Republic;
Vasile Dragan, Inst. of Mathematics "Simion Stoilow",
Romanian Academy of Sciences, Romania;
Claudia Timofte, Faculty of Physics,
University of Bucharest, Romania

Conference presentation will be published in special issues of
suitable journals including the Wiley journal "Mathematical Methods in
the Applied Sciences"

Subject: Sustainable SW for Science (WSSSPE4), UK, Sep 2016

Registration is open for the 4th Workshop on Sustainable Software for
Science: Practice and Experiences (WSSSPE4)
(http://wssspe.researchcomputing.org.uk/wssspe4/)
Location:  University of Manchester, Manchester, UK
Dates: 2 1/2 days from Sept. 12th noon - Sept. 14th 5 pm, 2016

Immediately preceding and co-located in Manchester with First
Conference of Research Software Engineers (RSE Conference) (Sept 15-
16 at Museum of Science and Industry, Manchester, UK)

WSSSPE provides a forum for discussion of scientific software
challenges, including both positions and experiences, and a forum for
the community to assemble and act.

WSSSPE4 will consist of two separate tracks with some joint sessions:

Track 1: Building a sustainable future for open-use research software
has the goals of defining a vision of the future of open-use research
software, and in the workshop, initiating the activities that are
needed to get there.  The idea of this track is to first think about
where we want to be 5 to 10 years from now, without being too
concerned with where we are today, and then to determine how we can
move to this future.

Track 2: Practices & experiences in sustainable scientific software
has the goal of improving the quality of today's research software and
the experiences of its developers by sharing practices and
experiences.  This track is focused on the current state of scientific
software and what we can do to improve it in the short term, starting
with where we are today.

Subject: Scientific Computing, Sweden, Oct 2016

This is a reminder that the final date to submit abstracts and to
register for the workshop "Scientific Computing in Sweden 2016" is
approaching. The workshop is held October 19-20 and is hosted by the
Division of Scientific Computing at Uppsala University. The aim of the
workshop is to bring together researchers and teachers in Scientific
Computing in Sweden to share news and ideas.

The deadline for registration and submission of abstracts is August
29.  Everyone that submits an abstract will be accepted for
presentation, the organizing committee will decide whether it is going
to be an oral presentation or a poster. This is in order to ensure a
good balance between presentations.

Both abstracts related to research and teaching/development of courses
in Scientific Computing are most welcome. Here Scientific Computing is
interpreted in a broad sense, including mathematical modeling,
algorithms, analysis, software development and high-performance
computing for many different application areas.

There is no registration fee for the workshop, it is kindly supported
by eSSENCE (http://essenceofescience.se) and the Section for
Mathematics and Information Technology at Uppsala University. Coffees
and lunches October 19-20 are included as well as refreshments with a
poster session and a workshop dinner, both on October 19.

bioengineering, neural signal processing, big data processing and
internet of things. The aim of the conference is to bring together
mathematicians, statisticians and engineers with a view to exploring
recent developments and identifying fruitful avenues for further
research. It is hoped that the meeting will help to attract more
mathematicians into this important and challenging field.

Please note that the deadline for submissions has now passed.
Successful authors were invited to submit a four page paper for
inclusion in the conference proceedings by 4 November 2016.

In particular, we encourage you to consider presenting your poster in
the new e-poster format, see details below.

New at CSE17: E-Posters. An e-poster is a large electronic display
that you can plug your laptop into to show rich, interactive material
at the poster session. CSE17 will have up to 25 e-poster displays that
we will make available to presenters who wish to use them. In order to
select the poster presenters, we request a description of between
100-500 words explaining why we should select you to use an e-poster.
Important information to include would be a description of how you
will take advantage of the e-poster format to go beyond what is
possible in a regular poster and also how you will distinguish what
you'll do with an e-poster from a standard projector
presentation. Please fill out the Google form we are using to collect
the information about e-poster explanations. In addition to the Google
form, be sure to submit a standard poster using the online system

Subject: Postdoc Position, Tomography, Technical Univ of Denmark

A 1-year Post Doc position in "Formulation and Application of Priors
in Spectral CT" is available at DTU Compute, Technical University of
Denmark, starting October 1, 2016. It is funded by the ERC project
"High-Definition Tomography" headed by Professor Per Chr. Hansen.

A decisive factor behind computing reliable tomographic
reconstructions is the ability to incorporate prior information - an
organized accumulation of experience with similar objects.

This Post Doc will focus on scenarios where we want to utilize
spectral information in the reconstruction algorithm, and the goal is
to study different approaches to incorporating spectral prior
information into the reconstruction models and the associated
computational methods.  Experience with computed tomography is
preferred but not required.

The research will be carried out in a research team of 10 faculty
members, PhD students and Post Docs. The team is embedded in the
section for Scientific Computing at DTU Compute.
