Subject: Workshop on Parallel Object-Oriented Scientific Computing
CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS
4th Workshop on
PARALLEL/HIGH-PERFORMANCE OBJECT-ORIENTED SCIENTIFIC COMPUTING (POOSC'05)
25 July, 2004
at the
19th EUROPEAN CONFERENCE ON OBJECT-ORIENTED PROGRAMMING (ECOOP 2005)
25-29 July, 2004
While object-oriented programming is being embraced in industry, particularly
in the form of C++ and to an increasing extent Java and Python, its acceptance
by the parallel scientific programming community is still tentative. In this
latter domain performance is invariably of paramount importance, where even
the transition from FORTRAN~77 to C is incomplete, primarily because of real
or perceived loss of performance. On the other hand, various factors
practically dictate the use of language features that provide better paradigms
for abstraction: increasingly complex numerical algorithms, application
requirements, and hardware (e.g. deep memory hierarchies, numbers of
processors, communication and I/O); and the need for user-level fault
tolerance.
This workshop seeks to bring together practitioners and researchers in this
growing field to `compare notes' on their work. The emphasis is on identifying
specific problems impeding greater acceptance and widespread use of
object-oriented programming in scientific computing; proposed and implemented
solutions to these problems; and new or novel approaches, techniques or idioms
for scientific and/or parallel computing. Presentations of work in progress
are welcome.
Specific areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
* frameworks and tools for scientific object-oriented computing;
* tried or proposed programming language alternatives to C++;
* performance issues and their realized or proposed resolution;
* issues specific to handling or abstracting parallelism;
* specific points of concern for progress and acceptance of
object-oriented scientific computing;
* existing, developing, or proposed software;
* schemes for user-level fault tolerance;
* grand visions (of relevance and substance).

Subject: Conference in Vancouver on Adaptive Methods for Differential Equations
International Conference in Vancouver, British Columbia
Wednesday, August 3, 2005 to Saturday, August 6, 2005.
Adaptivity and Beyond:
Computational Methods for Solving Differential Equations
In honour of Robert D. Russell and in celebration of his 60th birthday.
www.pims.math.ca/science/2005/05adaptive/
<http://www.pims.math.ca/science/2005/05adaptive/>
On-line registration is now open at the conference web site
www.pims.math.ca/science/2005/05adaptive/
<http://www.pims.math.ca/science/2005/05adaptive/>
Please register before May 9 to take advantage of the early bird
registration fee.
The theme of the conference is adaptive computational methods for
differential equations. Adaptation has now become fundamental to the
numerically solving differential equations (DEs) arising from science
and engineering. It has been amply demonstrated that significant
improvements in accuracy and efficiency can be gained by adapting the
computation to the physical solution or some other important quantities
of the DEs in consideration. An important area of adaptive computation
has also proven to be important for many other computational problems
related to DEs, including approximation of invariant sets such as
invariant tori, inertial manifolds, or connecting orbits that describe
the long time behavior of the solution.
Bob Russell has made many groundbreaking contributions to the field, and
it is a special privilege to dedicate this conference to Dr Russell in
celebration of his 60th birthday.
The meeting will be held at the PanPacific Hotel in Vancouver, British Columbia.
(http://vancouver.panpacific.com/). The conference is organised and sponsored
by the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (http://www.pims.math.ca
with additional support from Simon Fraser University (http://www.sfu.ca),
the Department of Mathematics at SFU (http://www.math.sfu.ca), the Centre for
Scientific Computing at SFU (http://www.csc.sfu.ca) and NSERC Discovery grants.
