Subject: Achi Brandt Awarded SIAM/ACM Prize in CS&E

Achi Brandt of The Weizmann Institute of Science is the recipient of the
2005 SIAM/ACM Prize in Computational Science and Engineering. The prize
was awarded at the SIAM Conference on Computational Science and Engineering
held in Orlando, Florida, February 12-15, 2005.

Brandt was awarded the prize for "pioneering modern multilevel methods,
from multigrid solvers for partial differential equations to multiscale
techniques for statistical physics, and for influencing almost every aspect
of contemporary computational science and engineering."

The prize is awarded jointly by SIAM and ACM in the area of computational
science in recognition of outstanding contributions to the development and
use of mathematical and computational tools and methods for the solution of
science and engineering problems.

The prize was established in 2002. Awardees receive a hand-calligraphed
certificate and a cash prize of $5,000.

Subject: CodeCogs, Open Source C/C++ Library

This is to inform you about the website called "Code Cogs", which is "A New
Open Source Scientific Library / Database in C++". The web site is free to
use with all software being open source.

The main homepage is at: http://www.codecogs.com

CodeCogs is a new online scientific numerical repository of C/C++ code that
has been created for scientists, engineers, mathematicians and financial
workers. The website hosts a growing number of components with fully
documented source code. It is a great place to post questions or problems
that you are having with your own numerical research, while also staying in
touch with the latest C/C++ developments. Furthermore, you can request
software that hasn't been added to the library, develop software for others,
or simply post your own numerical solutions. All software can be easily
browsed and searched, and if commercial licences are sold for this code then
you will received the royalties.

The site has been designed in response to problems that its creators have had
in finding a well documented and easily navigable database of numerical C/C++
code that is affordable. In particular they wanted high quality software that
can be used in both commercial environments (where it can be incorporated into
proprietary software and is also commercially supported) and in open-source
software systems. Furthermore, they wanted an 'automatic' system, that allowed
them to licence and download only the software they need - rather than an
entire library. To aid research, academics can use most of the code completely
free (under the GNU General Public Licence).

With the communities support, we aim to offer very wide range of most advanced
methods for numerical computing. By preventing users from "reinventing the
wheel", we aim to saving everyone time and resources, reduce development
risks, and general help to increase the pace of innovation.

Subject: Workshop in Portugal on Optimization in Finance

WORKSHOP ON OPTIMIZATION IN FINANCE
July 5-8, 2005
Coimbra, Portugal

Center for International Mathematics
School of Economics, University of Coimbra

Optimization models and methods play an increasingly important role
in financial decision making. Many problems in quantitative finance,
originating from asset allocation, risk management, derivative pricing,
and model fitting, are now routinely and efficiently solved using
modern optimization techniques. This workshop will bring together
researchers in the rapidly growing field of financial optimization
and intends to provide a forum for innovative models and methods
on new topics, novel approaches to well-known problems, success
stories, and computational studies in this exciting field. Participants
are encouraged to present and discuss their recent work and new,
possibly controversial, approaches are particularly welcome.

Invited speakers to the workshop include:

J. R. Birge (Northwestern University)
J. M. Mulvey (Princeton University)
R. T. Rockafellar (University of Washington)
N. Touzi (CREST, France)
S. Uryasev (University of Florida)
S. A. Zenios (University of Cyprus)

A one-day short-course, intended for optimization researchers
interested in quantitative finance as well as finance researchers
and practitioners interested in optimization models and methods,
will precede the scientific program of the workshop.
Short-course lectures will be delivered by Stefano Herzel
(Optimization Problems in Pricing and Hedging Options) and
Reha Tütüncü (Robust Optimization in Finance).

Subject: Director Position at Cornell University

Director of the Cornell Theory Center

The Faculty of Computing and Information Science seeks an eminent researcher
in computational science and engineering (CSE) to lead our initiatives in
this area as Director of the Cornell Theory Center (CTC). The position
includes responsibility for overseeing advanced computing on campus and for
shaping an expanded academic role of the CTC through innovative curriculum
development. The successful candidate will receive a full professor faculty
appointment in the Cornell academic department that best resonates with
his/her personal research and teaching interests; the opportunity for
continued leadership in both research and teaching is thus a central
component of the position being advertised.

The individual appointed must have a vision for CSE research and how such
work can best be realized through high-performance computing systems and
forward-looking curriculum. There must be a deep appreciation for
interdisciplinary research and the reality that different research
communities have different traditions and styles of computing. (Cornell's
ongoing strategic initiatives in the life sciences, nanotechnology, and
information science reflect this diversity.) Interactions with computer
scientists and applied mathematicians will be integral to the success of the
program as will be the ability of the Director to communicate the relevance
of CSE research to corporate sponsors and society in general. Consistent
with the breadth of these activities, the Director will also have the title
of Associate Dean for Scientific Computing.

See http://www.cis.cornell.edu/ <http://www.cis.cornell.edu/> for details
about Computing and Information Science at Cornell.

Applications will be accepted until the position is filled. Applicants should
submit a vita and the names and addresses of at least three references.

Materials may be submitted electronically to SciComp@cis.cornell.edu or by
post to Ms. Donna Levengood, Computing and Information Science, 4132 Upson
Hall, Cornell University , Ithaca , NY 14853-7501 .

Cornell University is an equal opportunity employer and welcomes applications
from women and ethnic minorities.
