CALL FOR NOMINATIONS

SIAM/ACM Prize in CS&E

The SIAM/ACM Prize in Computational Science and Engineering is awarded
biennially 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. It is intended to recognize either one individual
or a group of individuals for outstanding research contributions to the
field of CS&E. The contribution(s) for which the award is made must be
publicly available and may belong to any aspect of computational science

The prize will be awarded at the SIAM Conference on Computational

The algorithms and pseudocodes are MATLAB-based and actually the programs were run in MATLAB, although MAPLE and SCILAB were also used very frequently. A paradigmatic perspective for modeling and control of physical systems has been used since a long time ago: The input/output approach. Although quite natural for our human experience, this perspective imposes a cause/effect framework to the system under study although such system may not have necessarily such cause/effect structure. Actually, from a general point of view, a system interacts with its environment by exchange of mass and energy which should imply the use of bidirectional arrows in a block diagram rather than using unidirectional ones. Another perspective arose when a new variable showed up in systems and control theory: the state (Kalman). Thus, the input/state/output approach was born. Although the concept of state is cornerstone, qualitative characteristics of a system (stability, controllability and observability) have to be defined in terms of a representation of the system, i.e., such characteristics become representation dependent. In contrast, the relatively new Behavioral Approach for systems and control (Jan C. Willems) deals directly with the solution of the differential equations which represent the system. This set of allowed solutions is referred to as the behavior of the system. Thus, the key is the behavior and not the representation. This fact makes this perspective a representation free approach. This book reviews known topics of the Behavioral Approach and offers new theoretic results with the advantage of including control algorithms implemented numerically in the computer. In addition, issues of numerical analysis are also included. The programs and algorithms are MATLAB based. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Michael Bartholomew-Biggs <matqmb@herts.ac.uk> Date: Fri, 1 Aug 2008 05:16:14 -0400 Subject: New optimization textbook My new textbook "Nonlinear optimization with engineering applications" is being published this month by Springer.
