Subject: Workshop on Modern Massive Data Sets (MMDS), Stanford, Jun 2010

MMDS 2010: Workshop on Algorithms for Modern Massive Data Sets will take
place on June 15-18, 2010 at Stanford University, Stanford, CA USA. The
goals of these meetings are to explore novel techniques for modeling and
analyzing massive, high-dimensional, and nonlinearly structured scientific
and internet data sets; and to bring together computer scientists,
statisticians, mathematicians, and data analysis practitioners to promote
cross-fertilization of ideas. Talks will address fundamental questions
underlying recent work on algorithmic, statistical and computational
aspects
of large-scale data set analysis and provide a wide range modern
applications.
MMDS 2010 follows two tremendously successful meetings in 2006 and 2008
and is
organized by Michael Mahoney (Stanford), Petros Drineas (RPI), Alexander
Shkolnik (Stanford), Lek-Heng Lim (Berkeley) and Gunnar Carlsson (Stanford).

Subject: INI/WIMCS Computational Challenges in PDEs, Swansea (UK), Apr 2011

INI/WIMCS Joint Follow-Up Meeting On

Computational Challenges in PDEs

Swansea (UK), 4th-8th April 2011

The research programme on Computational Challenges for Partial Differential
Equations was held at the Isaac Newton Institute (INI) in Cambridge between
January and July in 2003. The programme resulted in important contributions
in the fields of adaptivity and error control, the construction and
mathematical analysis of multiscale numerical algorithms, the approximation
of high-dimensional PDEs and the mathematical analysis of numerical
algorithms for general PDEs.

Building on the success of this programme, the INI and the Wales Institute
of Mathematical and Computational Sciences (WIMCS) are jointly organising a
one week follow-up meeting in 2011. The meeting will consist of 32 invited
contributions in the areas of multiscale modelling, interface modelling,
PDEs on surfaces and geometric evolution problems, biomedical applications,
computational rheology, atomistic to continuum passage, low order modelling
and uncertainty modelling.
