13-18, 1997. Some of the speakers who have accepted are Margaret
Cheney, Alexandre Chorin, Eric Grosse, John Hennessy, Don Knuth, Velvel
Kahan, and Tinsley Oden (for a list of the organizers and updated
informaton see http://www.siam.org/meetings/an97/an97home.htm). Since
Stanford is at the foutainhead of Silicon Valley, there will be a
number of speakers and minisymposia associated with compter science as
connected with scientific computing.
Speaking on behalf of the organizing committee, we are also interested
in emphazing developments of applied mathematics in the Pacific rim.
We invite our colleagues to organize mini-symposia which will bring to
us the latest developments in your country in applied mathematics and
scientific computing.
Stanford is currently in the midst of a major re-building. The
Computer Science Department is now housed in the Gates Building, and
new buildings are being constructed for our Statistics and Electrical
Engineering Departments. If you have not visited in the last five
years, you'll be amazed by all the changes.
We hope to see you at SIAM97. We believe it will be a meeting to
remember!

Subject: New Book on Stochastic Simulation
NEW BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT:
NUMERICAL MODELLING OF RANDOM PROCESSES AND FIELDS:
ALGORITHMS AND APPLICATIONS
by V.A.Ogorodnikov and S.M.Prigarin
Publisher: VSP, Utrecht, The Netherlands, 1996
/240 pages, 22 figures and 23 tables/ ISBN 90-6764-199-5
The book deals with the development and investigation of
numerical methods for simulation of random processes and
fields. The first two chapters describe scalar and
vector-valued Gaussian models. Conventional autoregressive and
moving-average schemes and their vector modifications are
indicated. Great attention is given to the spectral models. In
addition, several special methods are presented. The third
chapter is dealt with non-Gaussian models. The method of
nonlinear transformation of Gaussian functions is studied in
some detail as well as models of random fields related to
stationary point flows, models based on nonlinear stochastic
differential equations, etc. The issues of compatibility of
marginal distributions and covariances of random processes are
considered here, too. The fourth chapter of the monograph is
dealt with issues of convergence of approximate models of
random fields. The last two chapters deal with stochastic
modelling applications. New application areas such as
simulation of meteorological processes and fields, sea surface
undulation and stochastic structure of clouds are presented
here.
Moreover, the book includes three appendixes, in which the
algorithms for modelling of random numbers, some data from the
random processes theory and the connections between discrete
and continuous stochastic models are discussed in brief.
The book is intended for experts of statistical modelling as
well as specialists of application problems of Monte Carlo
methods.

Subject: Block Preconditioning Toolkit Available
BPKIT, Block Preconditioning Toolkit, Available
http://www.cs.umn.edu/~chow/bpkit.html
BPKIT is a toolkit of block preconditioners for the iterative solution of
linear systems. The most effective general purpose and black-box type of
preconditioners are available, including block SSOR, block tridiagonal ILU,
and the block extension of point ILU with level-of-fill. Any of these
``global'' preconditioners may be coupled with one of a large collection of
``local'' preconditioners for approximately or exactly inverting or solving
with the diagonal or pivot blocks. These include a number of new approximate
inverse techniques. By combining a global and local preconditioner, a wide
variety of preconditionings are possible, matched to the difficulty and
structure of the problem. For example, the following popular methods are
possible:
- Block SSOR, using level-of-fill or threshold-based ILU to solve with
the diagonal blocks
- A block version of level-based ILU using ``exact'' inverses for the
pivot blocks
- ILU on a block tridiagonal system, using an approximate inverse technique
suitable for the structure of the pivot blocks
- Matrices with no block structure may be treated as a single block,
and a single local preconditioner may be used.
The blocks may be stored in dense or sparse formats, and user-defined data
structures may also be used. Variable block sizes are allowed within a
matrix. Operations with the blocks call the BLAS, LAPACK, or the sparse
BLAS, for efficiency across many platforms. The selection of larger blocks
usually gives higher performance. BPKIT supports the preconditioning of a
block of vectors, to enhance efficiency when block iterative methods are
used. A flexible GMRES iterative method is provided in BPKIT for users
who do not have an iterative method readily available. A test program
will read any linear system in Harwell-Boeing format and solve it using
any combination of preconditioners and parameters specified by the user.
This is important in the ``experimentation'' stage when trying to solve
problems from new applications. BPKIT is callable from C/C++ and FORTRAN.
BPKIT is written in standard C++ and FORTRAN, and runs on several types of
workstations and Cray supercomputers. BPKIT is not parallel; for large
applications it is suitable for the local solvers per processor/node or
domain.
The most important feature of BPKIT is that it is user extensible, since
an entirely black-box approach to high-performance preconditioning is
currently not possible. Local and global preconditioners written in any
language may be added. A few simple lines of C++ must be written in order
to make the new ``objects'' polymorphic with the others (i.e., may be
treated like other local and global preconditioners). User-defined data
structures for the blocks and block matrices can also be added.
The source code to BPKIT is freely provided.
BPKIT is available at: http://www.cs.umn.edu/~chow/bpkit.html

Subject: Information on Nonacademic Mathematics Careers
The AMS-SIAM Mathematical Sciences Career Information Web site opened in
November at http://www.siam.org (then click on "career information"). Each month
the site profiles the careers of mathematicians working in nonacademic positions
in industry, business, or government in an effort to demonstrates the range of
career opportunities available to mathematicians. These featured mathematicians
then participate in an ongoing bulletin board in which they are available to
answer open forum questions from users pertaining to preparation for or
employment in the nonacademic sector.
The Web site also contains descriptions of industry applications and links to
sites with resource information for students entering the job market. The
professional profiles link to companies employing mathematicians, many of which
post information about job opportunities on their Web sites. There are also
links to on-line job listing services that advertise positions in the sciences
and engineering.
Beginning in November 1996, the Web site will allow graduate students in the
mathematical sciences interested in finding out more about nonacademic careers
to sign up to participate in a mentoring program that will match them with a
mathematician working in the nonacademic sector. Mentors can answer questions
about the work environment in industry and about the process of applying for
jobs outside academia.
If you would like to participate in this project as a mentor or be considered as
a featured mathematician, contact Linda C. Thiel, Project Director, at
thiel@siam.org.
Featured on the bulletin board in October are Mary Brewster, a senior research
scientist with Battelle Pacific Northwest National Laboratory who does
probabilistic modeling for waste tank safety analysis and develops numerical
wavelet methods for problems in computational chemistry; Stewart Gleason, a
consulting actuary with Ernst & Young who is building a model that will be used
to price medical malpractice business for doctor groups; Jeff Kidder, a senior
software engineer with Intel Corporation who is leading a project that is
implementing and optimizing speech compression algorithms for use in a video
conferencing system; and Craig Benham, acting chair of the Department of
Biomathematical Sciences at Mount Sinai School of Medicine who works on
problems related to DNA structure.

Applications are invited for the above studentship, which is for fees
and a maintenance bursary of approximately seven thousand pounds
per annum.
The Applied Mathematics and Operational Research Group is part of
the Royal Military College of Science (RMCS) situated at Shrivenham
in the Vale of the White Horse district of Oxfordshire.
The College is a faculty of Cranfield University and the research
student will be registered for a Cranfield degree.
Techniques of particular interest to the group are the numerical
solution of integral equations, including boundary element methods;
finite element and finite difference methods and approximation and
data fitting including neural networks.
Work on boundary elements has been continuing since 1980 with the
focus on numerical techniques, applications in fracture mechanics,
free surface problems in fluid mechanics and electrodeposition.
It is envisaged that the student will embark on research in the
application of modern computing techniques to the development of
more efficient boundary element methods. The research may
encompass numerical integration techniques, parallel processing
and adaptive meshing and will require extensive programming in
Fortran 90.
Although previous experience of boundary element methods is not required,
a strong mathematics/numerical analysis background with a good grounding
in computer programming is essential. Applicants should have
(or expect to obtain this summer) at least an upper second class
honours degree or an equivalent postgraduate qualification.
