Subject: NA Digest Publication Schedule
The snow has finally melted in New England, so we don't have to spend
our Sunday mornings on the computer. And I have several trips to make
over the summer. So, starting with today's issue, the publication
dates for the NA Digest during the next couple of months will be a
little erratic.

Subject: Survey of Problem-Solving Environments
The Swiss Center for Scientific Computing (CSCS/SCSC) is a service
center providing state-of-the art solutions in high-performance
computing and networking to academic institutions and business
enterprises.
To update CSCS/SCSC's knowledge about Problem-Solving Environments
(PSEs), CSCS/SCSC's Software Technology Group is conducting a survey of
recent activities in this field.
PSEs of interest to us include application domain-specific PSEs for
fields such as computational fluid dynamics and molecular modeling, and
cross-disciplinary or core-problem PSEs supporting, for instance,
symbolic computing, programming and usage of high-performance computer
systems, and visualization.
To obtain an overview which is as complete as possible, I would like to
invite all those of you who are working in the field of PSEs to E-MAIL
(pointers to) all information about your activities (which appears
appropriate to you) to the e-mail address given below.
After completion of the survey, I shall make available the compiled
information to the scientific community.

presented. The planned session titles are:
- Multigrid Methods
- Object-Oriented Methods for the Solution of Partial Differential
Equations
- A Parallel Partial Differential Equation Solver for Fluid
Dynamics Computations
- Special Topics in HPF Programming
- Domain Decomposition and Parallel Code Optimization
- Quantum Monte Carlo Methods for Continuum Systems
- Data Explorer for Scientific Visualization
- Iterative Methods
