Ivanov [log in to unmask] Date: August 10, 2016 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" ------------------------------------------------------- From: Michael Heroux [log in to unmask] Date: August 16, 2016 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. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Lina von Sydow [log in to unmask] Date: August 18, 2016 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.

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.
