Subject: Elliptic Integral for Complex Argument
To compute the inverse of a real elliptic function (say sn) is trivial, as
I can use an elliptic integral. But how do I do it for a complex argument?
That is, given complex z and a parameter m, find complex y such that z=sn(y,m).
I am looking for a good numerical method.

Massively parallel systems with distributed resources will play a very
important role for the future of high performance computing. One of
the current obstacles of these systems is their difficult programming.
The proposed conference will bring together active researchers who are
working on ways how to help programmers to exploit the performance
potential of massively parallel systems. The working conference will
consist of sessions for full and short papers, interleaved with poster
and demonstration sessions.
The Conference will be held April 25 - 30, 1994 at the Centro Stefano
Franscini, located in the hills above Ascona at Lago Maggiore, in the
southern part of Switzerland. It is organized by the Swiss Scientific
Computing Center CSCS ETH Zurich. The conference is the forthcoming
event of the working group WG 10.3 of the International Federation for
Information Processing (IFIP) on Programming Environments for Parallel
Computing. The conference succeeds the 1992 Edinburgh conference on
Programming Environments for Parallel Computing.

Subject: Conference on Massively Parallel Scientific Computing
Conference on Massively Parallel Scientific Computing
Monte Verita, Ticino, Switzerland
March 7--12, 1994
Form and aim of the conference:
This conference will bring together about 50 people from various fields of
scientific computing and numerical analysis.
Among the topics emphasized are parallel numerical linear algebra,
domain decomposition, waveform relaxation, computational fluid dynamics,
molecular dynamics, quantum chemistry, and quantum chromodynamics.
There will be about a dozen invited one-hour survey lectures, in which
outstanding experts will explain the numerical methods of their field, emphasizing the parallel computing aspects and the experience that has been
gained. Other participants may present 15-minute talks (followed by
5 minutes of discussion). All speakers should keep in mind that the
audience is very mixed, and tune their talk appropriately.
We expect that from the similarity of the problems that appear in various
areas and from the tools that are applied to solve them, the participants
will experience mutual profit. We also hope that the mathematical models
and their numerical treatment on massively parallel computers will
become the common platform for understanding each others work.
Since the number of participants is limited, and since several fields
should be represented equally well, participation is on invitation only.
However, potential participants should not hesitate to contact one of
the organizers, specifying their area of research and indicating whether
they would like to give a talk, and if so, on which subject.
The meeting takes place in a small conference center on the Monte Verita,
near Locarno and Ascona, in the Italian speaking part of Switzerland.
Lodging and meals for the participants are also provided in the conference
center, which is run by ETH Zurich.
Invited speakers:
C. Bischof (numerical linear algebra, Argonne NL)
P. Bjorstad (domain decomposition, U Bergen)
J. Demmel (numerical linear algebra, UC Berkeley)
I. Duff (numerical linear algebra, RAL Oxon, CERFACS Toulouse)

M. Sawley (CFD, ETH Lausanne)
W. Scott (molecular dynamics, ETH Zurich)
J. Sethian (CFD, UC Berkeley)
P. de Forcrand (QCD, ETH Zurich)
S. Vandewalle (waveform relaxation, CalTech)
Travel:
The most convenient airport is Zurich, from which it takes 3.5 hours
by train. Further directions will be given to the participants.
The conference starts on Monday morning at 8.30 and ends on Friday noon.
Hence, participants are expected to arrive on Sunday; the Conference
Center is closed on Saturday, but opens on Sunday at 3 pm.
Costs:
There is no registration fee, but participants have to contribute Sfr. 700.-
to the cost of board and lodging.
For a limited number of participants these costs can be reduced by Sfr. 250.-.
Accompanying persons also pay Sfr. 140.- per day for board and lodging.
The conference center is not particularly suitable for children, however.

Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ, USA
February 10-11, 1994
In order for CFD to get to new levels of usefulness to industry, there
is a need for better turbulence models for high Re flows. An honest
appraisal by industry on needs, and a similar word by academia and
researchers at national labs on what can be done now is probably
necessary. The workshop will deal with the numerical analysis and CFD
algorithms that could bridge the gap, and will include those aspects
of turbulence theory that have relevance to modeling used in
simulation. Topics to include: Modeling, Non-equilibrium Turbulence,
Spectral and High Order Methods, Adaptive Grids, Lagrangian Methods,
Ocean Dynamics.

Subject: Workshop on Optimal Design and Control
Workshop on Optimal Design and Control
April 8-9, 1994
Blacksburg Marriott
Blacksburg, Virginia
Preliminary Announcement
Sponsor:
The workshop is sponsored by the Air Force Office of Scientific
Research, the Center for Optimal Design And Control (CODAC) and the
Interdisciplinary Center for Applied Mathematics (ICAM).
Objective:
This workshop will bring together researchers from industry,
government and academia to discuss applications, theoretical
foundations, and computational methods for interdisciplinary
optimization based design. Although the primary focus of this
workshop is optimal design for fluid flow systems, the goal is to
bring together leading experts on a variety of related optimal design
problems.
Local Organizing Committee:
John Burns, Department of Mathematics
Eugene M. Cliff, Department of Aerospace and Ocean Engineering
Bernard Grossman, Department of Aerospace and Ocean Engineering
Terry Herdman, Department of Mathematics
Janet Peterson, Department of Mathematics
Tentative List of Invited Speakers:
Siva Banda, Air Force Wright Laboratory, USA;
John Betts, Boeing Computing Services, USA;
Michel Delfour, Universite de Montreal, Canada;
John Dennis, Rice University, USA;
Andreas Griewank, Dresden University, Germany
Max Gunzburger, Virginia Tech, USA
Jaroslav Haslinger, Charles University, Czech Republic
Perry Newman, NASA Langley Research Center, USA

ICAM:
The Interdisciplinary Center for Applied Mathematics (ICAM) was
formed in August 1987 to promote and facilitate interdisciplinary
research and education in applied mathematics at Virginia
Polytechnic Institute and State University. The Center's primary
research goal is promoting and enhancing quality interdisciplinary
research in Applied Mathematics.
CODAC:
The Center for Optimal Design and Control of Distributed Parameter
Systems (CODAC) was established in 1993 by a URI grant from the
Air Force of Scientific Research. The Center is composed of
mathematicians, engineers, and scientists working on a variety of
optimal design and control problems. This research contains
theoretical, computational, and experimental components.
