Workshop on Algorithms and Programming Tools for Next-Generation
High-Performance Scientific Software (HPSS 2011)
http://www.na.icar.cnr.it/hpss11/
August 29, 2011, Bordeaux, France
held in conjunction with Euro-Par 2011, the 17th International European
Conference on Parallel and Distributed Computing
Scientific Software is a key component in developing effective
instruments for Computational Science. Prototyping and developing
scientific codes in terms of reliable, efficient and portable building
blocks allow users to reduce the time-to-solution of a computational
problem and to simplify the inclusion and comparisons of new
physical/mathematical models and solvers.
The focus of this workshop is on recent advances in algorithms and
programming tools development for next-generation high-performance
scientific software as enabling technologies for new insights into
Computational Science.
The workshop is intended to bring together applied mathematicians,
computer scientists and computational scientists from different areas,
in order to discuss recent challenges and results in modern technology
issues for high-performance computing as well as in developing
open-source high-quality software for Computational Science.

The 10th International Conference on Complexity in Acute Illness
(ICCAI, http://www.iccai.org), will take place from September
8th-11th, 2011 in Bonn, Germany. ICCAI once more aims to provide a
highly interdisciplinary forum focusing on bringing together critical
care physicians, anesthesiologists, mathematicians, bioengineers,
physicists, and computer scientists interested in improving acute care
outcomes through the application of advanced quantitative methodology
to clinical and experimental data. Details, including the detailed
scientific program and background information on Bonn and the Rhine
river valley as a travel destination, are available on the conference
website (http://www.iccai.org). Be sure to book early, space is limited!
There will be opportunities for both poster and oral presentations for
active participants. Accepted abstracts will be published in the
Journal of Critical Care. Contributions by trainees are highly
encouraged. Please note that purely methodological contributions with
potential relevance to critical illness related data analysis and
modeling are also welcome, thus providing an opportunity for
methods-oriented researchers to establish collaborations in new areas
of application. Topics of interest within scope for the NA community
include, but are not limited to, numerical approaches to inverse
problems, optimal control, timeseries analysis, and state-of-the-art
algorithms for differential equations of various flavors.
The formal registration and abstract submission features of the
website are currently being tweaked for improved usability and will
become available within the next couple of weeks. Abstract submission
deadline will be June 15th, with notification of acceptance by July
1st, and the early bird registration closing on July 7th. In the
meantime, interested parties can join our ICCAI mailing list to
receive updates on ICCAI 2011 developments.

Subject: Postdoc Position in Uncertainty Quant at Argonne
Postdoctoral Appointee
Laboratory for Advanced Numerical Simulations (LANS)
The Mathematics and Computer Science (MCS) Division at Argonne
National Laboratory invites outstanding candidates to apply for a
postdoctoral position that involves the development of advanced
numerical techniques and scalable software for uncertainty
quantification and data analysis of complex, large-scale physical
models driven by partial differential equations.
Statistical analysis and modeling of massive data sets will be
required to accomplish this task by using scalable algorithms. The
appointee will have access to data obtained through direct
observations of processes and will conduct statistical model
calibration, validation, and simulation.
The position requires comprehensive expertise in a scientific
programming language (C, C++, Fortran) and in one or more of the
following: computational statistics, numerical algorithms and software
for differential equations, data assimilation, and stochastic
processes. Also required is considerable knowledge in one or more of
the following areas: statistics, numerical optimization, numerical
linear algebra, and parallel programming with MPI. Experience with
parallel computing and large-scale computational science is a plus.
The appointments will be in the MCS Division (www.mcs.anl.gov), which
has strong programs in scientific computing, software tools, and
computational mathematics. Argonne is located in the southwestern
Chicago suburbs, offering the advantages of affordable housing, good
schools, and easy access to the cultural attractions of the city.
Each candidate should submit an application via the Argonne website
(http://www.anl.gov/jobsearch) under division postdoctoral job
openings for job requisition 317653. The application must include a
curriculum vitae; list of publications, abstracts, and significant
presentations; and the names and addresses of three references, other
than Argonne staff, who can attest to the candidate's ability and
potential.
For further information about division postdoctoral appointments at
Argonne, see the website. Questions can be addressed to Dr. Mihai
Anitescu (anitescu@mcs.anl.gov) or Dr. Emil Constantinescu

basic methods are expected and encouraged. The postdoc will be
performing a combination of model development, code development,
testing, and application of new models. They will have access to world
leading computational resources.
Job requirements: A doctoral degree in Engineering, Physics, Science
or other technical discipline. Strong communication, organizational
and problem solving skills. The ability to work in a dynamic
environment. The ability to work in a team environment.
