David Keyes, Professor of Applied Mathematics and Computational Science and the Director of the Extreme Computing Research Center at KAUST, will deliver lectures on "Scalable Solvers: Universals and Innovations". In addition, there will be ten talks by invited speakers: Zhaojun Bai (University of California Davis); Xiao-Chuan Cai (University of Colorado Boulder); Edmond Chow (Georgia Institute of Technology); Jack Dongarra (University of Tennessee); Laura Grigori (INRIA Paris); Ilse Ipsen (North Carolina State University); Xiaoye Sherry Li (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory); Carol Woodward (Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory); Ulrike Meier Yang (Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory); Rio Yokota (Tokyo Institute of Technology) The talks will be held from 9:00am to 12:30pm CDT. Additionally, we will have an outreach component in the form of a public lecture, which is intended for the community at large and will be given by Ann Almgren, a senior scientist and the group leader of the Center for Computational Sciences and Engineering in the Department of Applied Mathematics at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. We will also use the series to strengthen the female side of the mathematical sciences with a "Women in STEM" panel discussion. The goal of the panel discussion is to provide an environment that will facilitate the sharing of ideas and experiences with the women panelists.

It has been clear for a while that the prospect of being able to hold a large in-person meeting in the UK is not realistic until well beyond the summer, but we have held on on the off-chance of a sudden change. While we remain hopeful that the worst of the pandemic is behind us, we decided not to jeopardise the safety and comfort of the delegates and run unnecessary risks. We value greatly the tradition of this meeting, with social interactions at its heart, and thus we don't feel it would be well served by holding a virtual replacement. Instead, we aim to be back in 2023, and we really look forward to meeting our friends and colleagues in two years' time! ------------------------------------------------------- From: Juan Carlos De los Reyes [log in to unmask] Date: March 10, 2021 Subject: Deadline Ext, System Modelling and Optimization, Aug 2021 The local organizing committee of the IFIP TC7 conference on System Modelling and Optimization decided to extend the deadline for minisymposium proposals to March 26, 2021. The 29th edition of the IFIP TC7 conference on System Modelling and Optimization will be organized in virtual format, from August 30th to September 3th 2021, by the Research Center for Math. Modelling (MODEMAT), Escuela Politecnica Nacional, Ecuador. The highly-regarded conference series covers topics such as: Modeling and Simulation; Continuous, Discrete, and Stochastic Optimization; Optimal Control; Inverse Problems; Imaging Science.
