Subject: Patrick Keast (1942-2016)

Patrick (Pat) Keast, retired professor, Department of Mathematics and
Statistics, Dalhousie University, passed away suddenly at his home in
Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, on July 25, 2016, at the age of 73. Pat
began his academic career in the Mathematics Department at St. Andrews
University and while an assistant lecturer there completed a Ph.D. in
Mathematics in 1967 under the supervision of Andrew (Ron) Mitchell. In
1970, he immigrated to Canada to take up a regular faculty position at
the University of Toronto (U of T), splitting his time between
teaching in the undergraduate program at the U of T Scarborough
College campus, and teaching graduate courses and supervising graduate
students at the U of T St. George campus. In 1983, Pat moved to
Dalhousie University (Dal) where he joined the newly established
Division of Computing Science in the Mathematics, Statistics, and
Computer Science Department. He completed his career in the
Mathematics and Statistics Department at Dal, retiring in 2007. During
his 24 years at Dal, he taught many undergraduate students, supervised
numerous graduate students in both mathematics and computer science,
and held several administrative positions, including Department Chair.

Subject: Mondriaan 4.1: Sparse Matrix Partitioning Package

We would like to announce the availability of version 4.1 of the
Mondriaan sparse matrix partitioning package. Mondriaan can be used as
a preprocessing tool for large parallel sparse matrix-vector
multiplications.

Version 4.1 contains several improvements and extensions:
- The MondriaanOpt program has been incorporated, which offers a way
  to solve the sparse matrix bipartitioning problem to optimality.
- The MondriaanOpt program is available as stand-alone program, as a
  Matlab routine, and as a linkable archive.
- MondriaanPlot can now also generate SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics)
  images of partitionings.
- Some minor bugfixes.

The package and related documentation can be obtained from:
http://www.staff.science.uu.nl/~bisse101/Mondriaan/

A database of optimal matrix bipartitionings for over 350 matrices
from the University of Florida collection can be found at:
http://www.staff.science.uu.nl/~bisse101/Mondriaan/Opt
These results may be useful as a benchmark for bipartitioners.

Mondriaan is written in C and distributed under the GNU LGPL license.

Subject: Postdoc Position, Sci Computing/Numerical Sim, Univ of Cologne

The Numerical Simulation group of Prof. Gregor Gassner invites
applications for a postdoc position in scientific computing/numerical
simulation. The group develops numerical schemes for the simulation of
advection- dominated problems governed by non-linear hyperbolic and/or
mixed hyperbolic-parabolic conservation laws. The focus is on entropy
stable high order methods with adaptivity in space and time, such as
e.g. the discontinuous Galerkin method. A special emphasis in the
development of the numerical algorithms is on the high performance
computing aspects of the methods: only methods that scale to hundreds
of thousands processors are considered and developed. We are looking
for a postdoc candidate that holds an excellent degree in scientific
computing or applied mathematics (or a related field). The successful
candidate should have a strong background in the development of
scientific simulation codes with excellent programming skills in
either Fortran 90 or C/C++. Experience in developing adaptive
simulation codes is desired as well as experience in high performance
computing. She/he will work on the development of an adaptive high

disabled persons will be given preferential treatment to those of
other candidates with equal qualifications. Closing date for
application is February 15, 2017, but search will continue until the
position is filled. Applicants should send a single PDF file
containing a CV, educational record, and a short statement of research
activities and programming experience to Gregor Gassner
([log in to unmask], subject "ERC postdoc"). Please indicate
your possible starting date and list at least two academic references.
The position is funded by the European Research Council and the
initial salary is based on the German E13 TV-L scale (39.84
hours/week) if terms and conditions under collective bargaining law
are fulfilled, which accounts for experience and
qualification. Possible starting date for the position is April
2017. The initial contract is limited to two years with a possible
extension up to five years total.

From: Wim Michiels [log in to unmask]
Date: November 05, 2016
Subject: PhD Position, Numerical Methods for Control, KU Leuven

At the department of Computer Science of KU Leuven there is vacant PhD
position in the area of computational control and optimization of
large-scale interconnected systems.

The aim of the PhD project is to develop decentralized and distributed
control design approaches. For large networks it is expensive, if not
impossible, to control all systems individually.  Furthermore, the
underlying theoretical framework is not adapted toward complex systems
where the overall dynamics are largely determined by the
interactions. Besides computing optimal controller parameters, the
focus is on optimizing the topology of the network, that is, to
determine which systems need to interact in order to optimize a global
objective in an efficient way. While the focus is on development of
computational methods, applications are foreseen in robotics and
sensor networks.

The PhD researcher will spend two years at KU Leuven and the final
year at Ecole Centrale de Lille, and she/he will be awarded a joint
doctoral diploma upon a successful completion.

What do we offer? An interdisciplinary research project, a stimulating
environment at two European top universities, a balanced and
personalized PhD trajectory, with attention paid to transferable
skills development and exposure to both academic and non-academic
environments, and a highly competitive salary (MSCA program of the
European Union).

Eligibility criteria and application instructions can be found at the
