To take into account the various geographical locations of our participants, plenary talks are scheduled at a time that is reasonable for most time zones, and parallel sessions are scheduled twice a day in such a way that participants can attend at least one out of two sessions comfortably. Also, talks will be recorded for later viewing by other participants (subject to consent from individual speakers). The full schedule can be found on the conference website. Registration is now open. The registration fees are HKD800 (about USD 100) for regular participants, and HKD400 (about USD 50) for students. The deadline for registration is October 31, 2020. Participants who have previously registered and kept their fees for 2020 are automatically registered, and they will be contacted for refund arrangements. We have reopened the call for minisymposia and contributed talks. Proposals should be in the form of a plain text e-mail to [log in to unmask] For minisymposia, please provide a title, a short description of the subject matter, and a list of speakers for the minisymposium. For contributed talks, please provide a title an abstract. The deadline for submitting proposals is October 15, 2020 (extended deadline). Previously accepted minisymposia and contributed talks are automatically accepted for this round. For more information about DD26, please see the conference website at https://www.math.cuhk.edu.hk/conference/dd26/?Conference-Home ------------------------------------------------------- From: Sophia Vorderwuelbecke [log in to unmask] Date: September 09, 2020 Subject: SIAM CSE21 Code Generation, ONLINE, Mar 2021 The Firedrake team is proposing a minisymposterium at SIAM CSE21 due to be held March 1-5 2021. CSE21 will be held at least partly online, so this is a great opportunity for everyone in the code generation community to share their work, even if they won't be in Fort Worth in March. Submitting a poster doesn't count against the one presentation rule, so please consider submitting even if you are also presenting elsewhere at the conference. The proposed title and abstract are Automatic simulation code generation tools and their applications. Automatic code generation provides a mechanism for creating high performance simulations using sophisticated numerical methods at minimal development cost. Tools such as Firedrake, FEniCS, FreeFEM++, Devito and many others enable developers to work in a highly productive way at a high level of mathematical abstraction, while still creating optimised low-level code which is frequently faster than would have been written by hand. Code generation approaches also facilitate a separation of concerns in which new numerical methods or performance improvements become directly available to application developers without the need for repeated recoding. This minisymposterium provides the opportunity for developers and users of code generation frameworks to present recent developments in both the capabilities and applications of these frameworks. The poster session will also provide the opportunity for informal exchanges of ideas in this community, and to support dialog between developers, and existing and potential users of these frameworks." To take part in our minisymposterium you will need to fill out the survey https://imperial.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_efEu8ddYj1nicdv. The survey helps us to collect poster titles and authors for inclusion into our proposal. The proceeding for minisymposteria is the following: 'Participants must submit their posters using the Conference Management System. The poster title should be submitted as "Minisymposterium: [insert poster title]". After the posters are submitted to the Conference Management System, organizers must submit the minisymposterium proposal form.' Therefore you will need to fill out our survey by 20th Semptember, one day before SIAM's deadline for poster submissions. ------------------------------------------------------- From: David Knezevic [log in to unmask] Date: September 10, 2020 Subject: Simulation Software Engineer Position, Akselos, US-Based Akselos has an opening for a US-based Simulation Software Engineer position.
