IMA Early Career Mathematicians' Autumn Conference 2012
Saturday 24 November 2012, University of Greenwich

The IMA Early Career Mathematicians' Autumn Conference 2012 will take
place at the University of Greenwich on a World Heritage Site on the
banks of the River Thames and in the shadow of the Royal Observatory,
home of Greenwich Mean Time and the Prime Meridian of the World.

This conference will bring together mathematicians from all walks of
life, some of whom have little opportunity to meet other
mathematicians, for a day of entertaining and interesting
mathematics. This will be the tenth in this series of conferences that
I have attended so I know they are a great opportunity for early
career mathematicians and students to meet others in similar career
stages. Friendships are formed and everyone has a good time. Previous
conferences have been described in Mathematics Today reports as
"lively and informative", "a friendly and relaxed atmosphere" and
"educational, informative and entertaining".

The schedule of talks is given below. You will see we start with a
hands-on session of puzzles, games and recreational maths, to wake us
up and get everyone talking. After lunch, we will hear from four
interesting early career mathematicians talking about their work in
some diverse areas of mathematics and its applications. Talks will not
be maths-heavy (it is the weekend, after all!) and the conference is
suitable for anyone with an interest in mathematics.

For further information on this conference, please contact the
Conference Office at conferences@ima.org.uk or +44 (0) 1702 354020 or

Subject: Reproducibility of Results, Supercomputing, USA, Nov 2012

The quest for numerical algorithms that behave in an exactly
reproducible manner on today's parallelized high performance computing
architectures has recently become a topic of growing interest. To
discuss different views of this issue and to provide information about
recent advances, Noah Clemons (Intel) and myself are organizing a
special session at this year's Supercomputing conference in Salt Lake
City, UT. The session will take place from 12:15pm until 1:15pm on
Tuesday, November 13. More details may be found at
http://sc12.supercomputing.org/schedule/event_detail.php?evid=bof106
(our special session) and http://sc12.supercomputing.org (general
information about the Supercomputing conference which takes place from
November 10 until November 16).

We look forward to a lively discussion.

Subject: Scientific Software Days, USA, Dec 2012

6th ANNUAL SCIENTIFIC SOFTWARE DAYS, Austin TX, December 17 2012

Hosted by the Texas Advanced Computing Center and the Jackson School
of Geosciences, University of Texas at Austin.

Conference Details and Talk Submission at
http://scisoftdays.org/meetings/2012/ Please email questions to:
softwareday@tacc.utexas.edu

Scientists use software for their research. Some of them also develop
computational software as part of their research. Scientific Software
Day is an ongoing meeting of users and producers of scientific
software, with presentations by scientific software tool makers and
the users of their tools. The objective is to build cross-disciplinary
community and skills in the diverse set of users and developers of
scientific software, both academic and industrial.

Ideal presentations for Scientific Software Days are of two types:
1) presentations of generic tools that can be used in scientific
software development and deployment
2) presentations of specific work, focusing on experience in
developing scientific software, workflows, and tool chains.

We are especially seeking presentations of the second type. We would
appreciate a brief introduction to your work intended for a general
scientific audience, and then a focus on your workflow or any
particular aspect of it that presented particular challenges or
required original solutions. The target audience will be a broad
selection of the scientific and engineering communities with a
particular interest in supercomputing. Let’s get to know each other
and learn from one another.

Subject: IMA Mathematics in Signal Processing, UK, Dec 2012

Ninth International Conference on Mathematics in Signal Processing
17 – 20 December 2012, Austin Court, Birmingham, UK

Signal processing constitutes an important area for the application of
mathematical concepts and techniques fuelled, for example, by
developments in mobile communications, multimedia systems and digital
TV. The subject is still advancing rapidly in areas such as
non-linear/non-Gaussian/non- stationary signal processing, compressive
sampling, digital communication systems, iterative estimation
(e.g. turbo codes), blind deconvolution/signal separation, broadband
systems, compressive sensing and novel sampling schemes. The last IMA
conference on this subject was held in December 2008 and in response
to popular demand, the next one will be held in December 2012. The aim
of the conference is to bring together mathematicians, statisticians
and engineers with a view to exploring recent developments and
identifying fruitful avenues for further research. It is hoped that
the meeting will help to attract more mathematicians into this
important and challenging field.

The conference will include tutorials, keynote addresses and six
non-overlapping sessions.

Plenary Speakers: John McWhirter, Jim Reilly, Sergios Theodoridis,
Paul White; Tutorials: Pier Luigi Dragotti, Mark Plumbley
