ECMI 2021 conference on Applied Mathematics

The ECMI 2021 Conference on Industrial and Applied Mathematics will be
held as an online conference hosted by the University of Wuppertal
from April 13th to April 15th 2021.  The traditional elements of a
biennial ECMI conference such as plenary lectures, an Anile prize
lecture, a Wacker prize lecture, lectures within minisymposia and from
our partner, the Asia-Pacific Consortium of Mathematics-for-Industry,
as well as contributed talks will be made available as synchronous
online events.

Unfortunately, because of the ongoing Corona pandemic, we were not be
able to have a normal face-to-face ECMI2020 at the University of
Limerick.  Instead we are organizing a virtual ECMI2021 conference in
the period April 13-15, 2021, that will be as close as possible to the
traditional events.

A registration form is available on the conference website
https://ecmi2021.uni-wuppertal.de/ where you can also submit a
minisymposium proposal, a minisymposium talk or a contributed talk.

As usual we will publish a conference proceedings Progress in
Industrial Mathematics at ECMI 2021, at Springer, see 'Submission' for
further details.

As a token of appreciation, minisymposium organizers will receive a
printed copy of the ECMI2021 Proceedings.

ONLINE EVENT 11th IMA International Conference on Modelling in
Industrial Maintenance and Reliability (MIMAR)
28 June - 2 July 2021, Via Zoom, https://tinyurl.com/IMAMIMAR

The 11th International Conference on Modelling in Industrial
Maintenance and Reliability (MIMAR) will take place virtually via Zoom
from 28 June - 2 July 2021. This event is the premier maintenance and
reliability modelling conference in the UK and builds upon a very
successful series of previous conferences. It is an excellent
international forum for disseminating information on the
state-of-the-art research, theories and practices in maintenance and
reliability modelling and offers a platform for connecting researchers
and practitioners from around the world.

The scope of the conference includes: Engineering Economy and Cost
Analysis, Life cycle/performance analysis, Maintenance and Reliability
Modelling, Prognostics and Health Management, Reliability and
Maintenance Engineering, Safety, Security and Risk Management, Spare
Parts Supply Chain Management, Warranty Management and Data Analysis

Presentations are encouraged on the theory or application of
maintenance and reliability for: Autonomous Systems, Cyber-physical
systems, Data Mining and Machine Learning, Decision Analysis and
Methods, Human Factors, Information Processing and Engineering,
Manufacturing Systems, Expert Elicitation, Operational Research,
Production Planning and Control, Quality Control and Management,
Resilience Engineering, Sustainability, Systems Modelling and
Simulation Abstracts of 100-200 words need to be submitted via MyIMA
Portal by 13 March 2021. All submissions are subject to rigorous
review before an acceptance decision is made.

Optional paper submission to [log in to unmask] for conference
proceedings by 15 May 2021. Final deadline for acceptance for
conference proceedings by 15 June 2021.  Submission of extended papers
for consideration for fully refereed special issue of Journal of Risk
and Reliability by 1 November 2021.

4th IMA Conference on Nonlinearity and Coherent Structures
7- 9 July, 2021, Online Conference via Zoom Webinar
https://ima.org.uk/15373/4th-ima-conference-on-nonlinearity-and-coherent-structures/

Nonlinearity plays an important role in many fields of Science,
Engineering and Technology. The aim of this conference is to bring
together researchers working on aspects of nonlinear phenomena and to
encourage interaction between experts from different areas such as
Applied Mathematics, Mathematical Analysis, Fluid Dynamics,
Engineering and Physics. Recent theoretical developments, new
computational methods and experimental findings will be presented and
discussed. We plan to avoid parallel sessions and foster as much as
possible communication across the different communities. Please note
that due to the ongoing Covid-19 Pandemic this event will be fully
virtual and held on Zoom.

Conference topics: Integrable systems and soliton theory; Nonlinear
waves and nonlinear evolution equations; Dispersive hydrodynamics;
Rogue waves and extreme wave phenomena; Instabilities in nonlinear
media; Coherent structures and turbulence; Nonlinear phenomena in
physical and biological sciences; Phenomena at the interface of
nonlinear waves and machine learning

Subject: Submission Deadlines Extended, SIAM ACDA21, USA, Jul 2021

The submission deadlines for the 2021 SIAM Conference on Applied and
Computational Discrete Algorithms (ACDA21) have been extended. The new
deadline is Monday, March 8, 2020, for all types of submission.

The SIAM Conference on Applied and Computational Discrete Algorithms
is a new conference that brings together researchers who design and
study combinatorial and graph algorithms motivated by applications.
ACDA is organized by SIAM under the auspices of the SIAM Activity
Group on Applied and Computational Discrete Algorithms. ACDA subsumes
the long-running series of SIAM Workshops on Combinatorial Scientific
Computing, and expands its scope to applications of discrete models
and algorithms across all areas in the physical and life sciences and
engineering, the social and information sciences, and anywhere
discrete mathematical techniques are used to formulate and solve
problems in the world. ACDA invites papers on the formulation of
combinatorial problems from applications; theoretical analyses; design
of algorithms; computational evaluation of the algorithms; and
deployment of the resulting software to enable applications.

The conference will include a refereed proceedings and additional
submitted talks that are not part of the proceedings. It will also
include invited talks, an industrial problem session, a poster
session, and one or two minitutorials to introduce general topical
areas in applied combinatorics. Awards will be given for best paper,
best poster, and best student presentation.

Subject: Research Associate Position, Fluid/structure interaction,
Baylor College of Medicine

We are hiring a Computational Research Associate in our group.  A
summary of the position is here:

The computational cardiology group is looking for a Research Associate
who is interested in improving the care of children with congenital
heart disease (CHD), particularly coronary artery anomalies, through
advanced mathematical simulations. The team will be creating
high-fidelity, closed- loop, whole body numerical models of the human
cardiovascular system based on 4D cardiac imaging and hemodynamic
data. These simulations will help improve our fundamental
understanding of different types of coronary anomalies and other CHD,
and potential interventions. The initial duration of funding is one
year with the possibility of an extension pending substantial progress
and availability of funding.
