Subject: Release of Zoltan 2.0

We are pleased to announce that version 2.0 of Zoltan, a library for parallel
data management and load-balancing, is now available for download at

http://www.cs.sandia.gov/Zoltan

The Zoltan library includes a suite of parallel algorithms for static and
dynamic partitioning of problems over sets of processors. Zoltan is used in
many scientific computing applications, such as adaptive finite element
computations, particle methods, and multiphysics simulations. Zoltan contains
geometric methods (like Recursive Coordinate Bisection), interfaces to popular
graph partitioners, and new parallel hypergraph partitioners.

Major new features in version 2.0 include:
+ Parallel hypergraph partitioning
+ Parallel graph coloring (distance-1 and -2)
+ Multiconstraint geometric partitioning (RCB and RIB)
+ Degenerate geometry detection
+ C++ interface

Zoltan's parallel hypergraph partitioner is of special interest. Hypergraph
models usually represent communication volume in parallel applications more
accurately than graph models. Zoltan's hypergraph partitioner runs in
parallel and provides functionality similar to serial hypergraph partitioners
PaToH and hMetis.

Zoltan is designed to be both flexible and extensible. Its easy-to-use
interface makes it ideal for application developers who want to experiment
with a variety of load-balancing algorithms. Zoltan also contains several
tools for parallel data management, including a high-level unstructured
communication package and a distributed data directory.

Zoltan provides interfaces for C, C++ and Fortran90/95. With all communication
done through the MPI library, it is portable to many different
architectures. Zoltan is released under the terms of the GNU Lesser General
Public License.

Subject: Benchmarks for Trabecular Bone Micro-Finite Element Models

Dear colleague,

Thanks to Prof van Rietbergen, high dimensional bone models are now
available from from Oberwolfach model reduction benchmark collection

http://www.imtek.uni-freiburg.de/simulation/benchmark/wb/bone/

The system dimension changes from about 100 thousands to 12 million. In
our experience, it is a good means to drive your software and hardware
to their limits.

Best wishes,

Subject: New book: Complex Analysis for Mathematics and Engineering

New from Jones and Bartlett Publishers, Inc.

Complex Analysis for Mathematics and Engineering, 5th, Ed.
John H. Mathews and Russell W. Howell
http://math.jbpub.com/catalog/0763737488/

Revised and updated, the new Fifth Edition of Complex Analysis for
Mathematics and Engineering presents a comprehensive, student-friendly
introduction to Complex Analysis. Its clear, concise writing style
and numerous applications make the foundations of the subject matter
easily accessible for students and proofs are presented at an elementary
level that is understood by students with a sophomore calculus background.
Believing that mathematicians, engineers, and scientists should be exposed
to a careful presentation of mathematics, attention to topics such as
ensuring required assumptions are met before the use of a theorem or
algebraic operations are applied. A new chapter on Z-Transforms and
Applications provides students with a current look at Digital Filter
Design and Signal Process.

ICOSAHOM 2007 -- Call for Minisymposium proposals

7th International Conference on Spectral and High-Order Methods (ICOSAHOM'07)
June 18-22, 2007, Beijing

The 7th International Conference on Spectral and High Order Methods (ICOSAHOM)
will continue a tradition established through the organization of the 1st
ICOSAHOM by C. Canuto and A. Quarteroni in Como, Italy in 1989. This conference
continues to be a main conference venue where significant advances and new
applications of high-order accurate methods for solving PDE's are presented.

Conference themes include but are not limited to spectral methods, high-order
finite difference and finite element methods, h-p finite element methods,
discontinuous Galerkin methods, ENO/WENO methods, high-order methods for
integral equations, and wavelet based methods.

Applications include problems appearing in electromagnetics, fluid and
structural dynamics, climate modeling, inverse problems, efficient solvers
and preconditioners for high-order methods, efficient time-stepping techniques,
and parallel and computational aspects of spectral and high-
order methods.

An integral part of ICOSAHOM'04 will be topic-specific minisymposia, following
a tradition that encompasses all previous ICOSAHOM conferences. The purpose of
these minisymposia are several, e.g., presentation of new and exciting
developments within the scope of the conference, new areas of applications in
the sciences and engineering, and to emphasize areas of particular recent
activity and progress.

We now invite interested reseachers to submit extended abstract for papers and
minisymposia. The deadlines are

Dec 15, 2007 - Minisymposia topics
Jan 15, 2007 - Abstracts

Guidelines for this can be found on the conference webpage
http://lsec.cc.ac.cn/~icosahom/

Also, some funds are available for the partial support of students,
postdocs, young reseachers and underrepresented minorities to
attend the conference. Guidelines for applying for these can likewise
be found on the conference webpage.

Mathematical modelling of microbial communities in Biofilms, in Microbial
Fuel Cells and for Environmental Biotechnologies.

Lord Kelvin/Adam Smith Research Fellow and 2 Postdoctoral Research
Associates

University of Glasgow

The functioning of large multi-species communities of microbes has an enormous
impact on people's lives: they clean the environment, corrode materials, make
soil fertile and can cause disease. In the Civil Engineering department at the
University of Glasgow we are engaged in a concerted research effort to develop
mathematical models of microbial communities informed by the new molecular
methods and imaging tools for characterizing microbial communities. We require
3 numerate, highly motivated postdoctoral researchers with a background in
mathematical biology, theoretical ecology or mathematical modelling. The
candidates will be expected to conduct independent research within a
multidisciplinary team.

1. Lord Kelvin/Adam Smith postdoctoral research fellowship.

This highly prestigious 3 year research fellowship will be awarded to an
exceptional candidate who can demonstrate their own research agenda in
modelling microbial communities. The modelling should be aimed at promoting a
fundamental understanding of microbial communities that will ultimately inform
design in environmental biotechnology. Application by 14th July 2006 details
on http://www.gla.ac.uk/services/humanresources/recruit/kelvinsmith.htm

2. Postdoctoral research associate in modelling biofilms.

This 3 year postdoctoral appointment is funded by a European Science
Foundation grant. The aim is to develop a new modelling framework where
biofilms are treated in an analogous manner to landscapes in main stream
ecology.

3. Postdoctoral research associate in modelling bacterial population
dynamics in microbial fuel cells.

This appointment is for 39 months and is funded by the Engineering and
Physical Sciences Research council as part of the SUPERGEN consortium on
biological fuel cells. The successful candidate will develop a numerical model
of the biofilm on the anode of a microbial fuel cell.

Applications for 2 and 3. CV and covering letter by 21st July 2006 to Dr
Bill Sloan, Department of Civil Engineering, University of Glasgow
