Port-Hamiltonian systems extend classical Hamiltonian systems by incorporating internal and external ports accounting for the storage, dissipation, and exchange of energy. This is a generic modeling concept which among other things allows for the efficient and natural modeling of multi-physics systems and networks.

The meeting is co-sponsored by SIAM, whose members will receive the IMA members' registration rate. The success of modern codes for large-scale optimization is heavily dependent on the use of effective tools of numerical linear algebra. On the other hand, many problems in numerical linear algebra lead to linear, nonlinear or semidefinite optimization problems. The purpose of the conference is to bring together researchers from both communities and to find and communicate points and topics of common interest. Conference topics: Direct and iterative methods for large sparse linear systems. Eigenvalue computation and optimization. Large-scale nonlinear and semidefinite programming. Effect of round-off errors, stopping criteria, embedded iterative procedures. Optimization issues for matrix polynomials. Fast matrix computations. Compressed/sparse sensing. PDE-constrained optimization. Distributed computing and optimization. Applications and real time optimization. Invited speakers: Tim Davis Anders Forsgren Andreas Frommer Jacek Gondzio Laura Grigori Jennifer Scott Lieven Vandenberghe Mini-symposium proposals and contributed talks are invited on all aspects of numerical linear algebra and optimization. Mini-symposium proposals should be submitted to [log in to unmask] by 31 March 2016. A mini-symposium is limited to at most two sessions on a single topic (maximum eight speakers).

Samar Khatiwala (Earth Sciences) and Coralia Cartis (Maths), University of Oxford; Prof. Colin Jones, NERC/Met Office; Drs. Andrew Yool and Adrian Martin, NOCS Start date: October 2016 As one of the principal reservoirs of CO2, the ocean plays a crucial role in the carbon cycle and in regulating Earth's climate. Understanding and modelling the interconnections between the ocean carbon cycle and climate is therefore critical for robust estimates of future climate change. A principal challenge in this regard is the absence of well-established sets of equations governing the behavior of marine ecosystems, which play a key role in ocean carbon dynamics. Consequently, fundamental processes, such as the formation and sinking of organic matter from the surface into the ocean interior are crudely parameterised. Improving the representation of these processes in global ocean biogeochemical models, embedded within Earth System Models (ESMs) used to project future climate change, is thus an important goal of current research and of this project in particular. Specifically, we seek to evaluate and improve the performance of MEDUSA (Model of Ecosystem Dynamics, nutrient Utilisation, Sequestration and Acidification), the ocean biogeochemical model in the next generation Met Office/NERC Earth system model (UKESM), currently under development. MEDUSA models the interaction between macro- and micro-nutrients, phytoplankton and carbon, representing these processes through a range of parameterisations that include a number of key uncertain parameters. We seek to improve the underlying formulation of these parameters to better represent available observational constraints. Eligibility: UK/EU students with a good (2.1 or higher, or its equivalent) first degree in the natural sciences, maths or engineering and strong computing skills are encouraged to apply. Application process: To apply follow the instructions at http://www.earth.ox.ac.uk/graduate_admissions.
