Subject: New Class of Membership at SIAM
SIAM is pleased to announce that a new class of membership will be
offered in 1997 to new as well as current members who are recent
graduates. "Postgraduate memberships" are available to individuals for up
to three consecutive years immediately after they receive their highest
degree.
Postgraduate members have the same benefits as regular members.
Postgraduate membership is available on a one time basis to individuals. It
is offered for the first time in 1997 and is not retroactive.
Dues for 1997 for Postgraduate members are $45.
If you are a current student member for 1996 and cannot claim student
status for 1997, please consider the Postgraduate membership category when
you receive your renewal notice for 1997. Simply note on your renewal what
degree you have earned and where and remit the $45.00 Postgraduate
Membership dues.
SIAM reminds current students that a discounted membership class is
available to them as well - $20 for the calendar year 1997. Student
Members receive membership in one SIAM activity group at no charge, and

New book series information
"LECTURE NOTES IN COMPUTATIONAL SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING"
"This series will cover monographs, lecture course material, and
high-quality proceedings on topics from all subspecialties described
by the term "computational science and engineering". This includes the
theoretical aspects of scientific computing like mathematical modeling,
discretization techniques, fast solution algorithms, parallelization
and visualization methods as well as the application of these
approaches throughout the quantitative sciences: biology, chemistry,
physics, engineering, and economics.
Monographs focusing on computational methods and techniques which
encompass several application areas are also appropriate. Some
examples of computational methods include multiscaling approaches,
discretization schemes, and linear and nonlinear optimization."

Subject: Report from Workshop on Applied Parallel Computing (PARA96)
Denmark Hosts Workshop on Applied Parallel Computing (PARA96)
by
Jack Dongarra & Jerzy Wa\'sniewski
The Third International Workshop on Applied Parallel Computing in
Industrial Problems and Optimization (PARA96) were held in Lyngby,
Denmark August 18-21, 1996. The Conference was organized and sponsored
by the Danish Computing Centre for Research and Education (UNI\bullet\C)
and the Department of Mathematical Modelling (IMM) of the Technical
University of Denmark (DTU). Support was also received from the Danish
Natural Science Research Council through a grant for the EPOS project
(Efficient Parallel Algorithms for Optimization and Simulation) and from
the DEC, IBM and SGI computing organisations.
The Workshop was preceded on Sunday, August 18th, by two Tutorials on
Wavelets/Signal and Image Processing, and Programming Parallel
Computers. The tutorial, attended by more than 40 participants, included
practical exercises on the IBM SP2 and the SGI Power Challenge Computers.
The workshop itself attracted about 100 participants. 31 speakers from
several countries for the Workshop and Tutorial were invited. 45
contributed talks from 20 countries in 15 parallel sessions were
presented. Several experts from the computer manufactures were invited.
Opening remarks on Monday, August 19, were made by Dorte Olesen
(UNI\bullet\C). Among the highlights of the first day were invited
presentations by Gene Golub (Stanford University), "Approximating
Dominant Singular Triplets of Large Sparse Matrices via Modified
Moments"; Stig Skelboe (Copenhagen University), "Integration of
Partitioned Stiff Systems of ODEs"; Jesper Larsen (Math-Tech ApS,
Denmark), "Parallelising Large Applications (Industrial collaboration
with several European counties)"; Fred Gustavson (IBM T. J. Watson
Research Center), "The Design Implementation, and Evaluation of a Banded
Linear Solver for Distributed Memory Parallel Computers"; Per Grove
Thomsen (Technical University of Denmark), "Dynamic Systems Analysis
Software"; Danny C. Sorensen (Rice University), "Parallel ARPACK:
Portable Software for the Solution of Large Scale Eigenvalue Problems on
Distributed Memory Architectures" and Jens N. S\o{}rensenr, (Technical
University of Denmark), "Direct and Large Eddy Simulations of
Thermo-Convective Flows". On Monday evening the PARA'96 reception was held.
Technical talks on Tuesday included invited presentations by Jack
Dongarra (Tennessee University & Oak Ridge National Laboratory), "Providing
Access to High Performance Computing Technologies"; John Perram
(University of Odense), "AMROSE Robot System as a Parallel Application";
S\o{}ren Toxv\ae{}rd (University of Copenhagen), "Computer Engineering
of Complex Physical and Chemical Systems by Parallel Molecular Dynamics
Computations"; Henk Van der Vorst (University of Utrecht), "A
Parallelizable and Fast Algorithm for Very Large Eigenproblems"; Gert
Due Billing (University of Copenhagen), "From First Principles to
Industrial Applications"; Petter E. Bj\o{}rstad, University of Bergen),
Parallel Algorithms with Application to Oil Reservoir Simulation" and
Bengt Fornberg (University of Colorado), "The Prospect for Parallel
Computing in the Oil Industry". On Tuesday night, workshop participants
met at the "Nimb" restaurant in Copenhagen Tivoli for an excellent
dinner followed by an entertaining speech by Peter Naur (Copenhagen
University).
The final day of the workshop was the optimization day. Opening remarks
were made by Kaj Madsen (IMM). This day featured invited talks by Panos
Pardalos (University of Florida), "A Parallel GRASP for MAX-SAT
Problems"; Iain Duff (Rutherford Appleton Laboratory and CERFACS),
"Frontal Software for the Solution of Sparse Linear Equations"; Zahari
Zlatev (Environmental Research Institute), "Parallel Solution of Sparse
Linear Least Squares Problems by Using a Sequence of Large Dense
Blocks"; Jens Clausen (Copenhagen University), "Parallel Search-Based
Methods in Optimization" and Sean McKee (University of Strathclyde),
"Optimal Scheduling, Decomposition and Parallelization". The PARA96
meeting was followed by a Linear Programming Workshop, August 21-24,
1996, organized by the Department of Mathematical Modelling. Wednesday,
August 21 was the common day for both workshops, PARA'96 and LP'96.
Thanks to the excellent work of the organizing committee, PARA'96
proceeded smoothly; the informality of the workshop gave the participants
time to converse with new and old colleagues. Both invited and contributed
papers from PARA'96 will be published by Springer-Verlag in its Lecture
Notes in Computer Science series.
Jack Dongarra is a distinguished scientist in the Department of Computer
Science at the University of Tennessee and at Oak Ridge National
Laboratory. Jerzy Wasniewski is a senior researcher at the Danish Computing
Centre for Research and Education (UNI\bullet\C).
