Borges [log in to unmask] Date: November 13, 2016 Subject: Augustin Dubrulle It is with great sadness that I report the passing of my friend Augustin Dubrulle who died very unexpectedly on November 2. Augustin spent much of his scientific career producing state-of-the-art software libraries for scientific computing and numerical analysis which is all beautifully detailed in Thomas Haigh’s wonderful interview (http://history.siam.org/pdfs2/Dubrulle_trans_SIAM_copy.pdf). I will miss Augustin’s insatiable curiosity and his insight, but mostly I will miss that beaming smile that came straight up from the bottom of his heart. He is survived by his wife Christiane and their son Hugh. Sincerely, Professor Carlos Borges Department of Applied Mathematics Naval Postgraduate School ------------------------------------------------------- From: Bruce Bailey [log in to unmask] Date: November 11, 2016 Subject: New Book, Inverse Scattering Theory and Transmission Eigenvalues Inverse Scattering Theory and Transmission Eigenvalues by Fioralba Cakoni, David Colton, Houssem Haddar 2016 / x + 193 pages / Softcover / 978-1-611974-45-4 / List Price $59.00 / CBMS/SIAM Member Price $41.30 / CB88 Inverse scattering theory is a major theme of applied mathematics, and it has applications to such diverse areas as medical imaging, geophysical exploration, and nondestructive testing. The inverse scattering problem is both nonlinear and ill-posed, thus presenting particular problems in the development of efficient inversion algorithms. The authors begin with a basic introduction to the theory, then proceed to more recent developments, including a detailed discussion of the transmission eigenvalue problem; present the new generalized linear sampling method in addition to the well-known linear sampling and factorization methods; and in order to achieve clarification of presentation, focus on the inverse scattering problem for scalar homogeneous media. This book is for research mathematicians as well as engineers and physicists working on problems in target identification. It will also be of interest to advanced graduate students in diverse areas of applied mathematics.

Over the years, our scope has expanded. We’ve welcomed a wide range of papers into GABB covering graph computations with an emphasis on high- performance and parallel computing. We expect this trend to continue in 2017. In particular, while we retain our focus on "building blocks" for graph computations (including those not based on linear algebra), we also welcome work that focuses on libraries and frameworks to support applications that use graph algorithms. Our target audience is developers of graph algorithms, researchers in high-performance computing working on irregular applications, applied mathematicians working on fundamental algorithmic building blocks for graph computations, and application scientists using graphs in their computational work and data analysis. Submitted manuscripts may not exceed ten (10) single-spaced double- column pages using 10-point size font on 8.5x11-inch pages (IEEE conference style), including figures, tables, and references (see IPDPS Call for Papers for more details). All papers will be peer-reviewed. Proceedings of the workshops are distributed at the conference and are submitted for inclusion in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library after the conference.

Each workshop extends over three days and the conference will consist of three periods, comprising of different themes. We encourage the participants to attend the full conference.

Probabilities quite often occur in our approach, as a mean to take uncertainties into account. Main fields for application: transportation networks, energy, health, environment. Mathematical modelling, definition of indicators for safe operation, uncertainty analysis. Prospective and planification; analysis of information systems, detection of incorrect data, reconstruction of missing data. We are a small company (10 people, full time); we expect from our Engineers a personal commitment which goes far beyond the technical aspects of our contracts. They must be able to follow the contracts: discussing with the clients, organizing meetings, writing reports, presenting results, writing articles, and, at the end of a contract, all means of presentation of the work which has been done. The successful candidate should have : Master level (we accept beginners) in mathematics, or other scientific disciplines (physics, chemistry, computer science, and so on); A good preliminary background in probabilities; A perfect knowledge of the French language (both oral and written); English is sufficient for a start, but the candidate will have to learn French quite quickly; The ambition to develop a sector of activity, by personal implication; and Quite satisfactory communication skills. A good knowledge of Matlab would be useful, plus the ability to program in one of the usual computer languages (VB, C++, Fortran, etc.).
