Subject: Symbolic Computing, and Educational Advice
Dear NA-Netters:
This semester I am teaching a new senior-level Cornell course
on "Software Tools for Computational Science." Two weeks of
this course will be spent on symbolic computing in Maple.
I am looking for the perfect problem for the students to work
on in this segment, one that is not too advanced mathematically
yet touches some real science. It must be intrinsically
symbolic, not numerical. Any ideas will be most gratefully
welcomed.
More broadly, I would welcome advice (or URLs) from people
who've taught similar courses. The quick summary is that
I plan to discuss software tools in a strong scientific and
historical context, so there's much more to the course than
gee-whiz. The course divides into seven two-week segments:
1. problem-solving environments (Matlab...)
2. symbolic computing (Maple...)
3. software libraries (PETSc...)
4. visualization (DX...)
5. parallel computing (MultiMatlab...)
6. program transformations (ADIFOR...)
7. Web-based computing (on-line genome facilities).
In each area I'm looking for the perfect technical reading,
the perfect historical reading, the perfect scientific
application, the perfect homework problem.

Short Course:
NUMERICAL MODELLING:
MULTIPHASE FLOW AND TRANSPORT PROCESSES
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
The course introduces first the physical basics of multiphase flow and
transport processes in heterogeneous porous and fractured porous media.
The constitutive relationships (relative permeability - saturation and
capillary pressure - saturation relationship) and their influence on the
multiphase behaviour are discussed in detail. Based on these, isothermal
and nonisothermal multiphase flow processes are described by means of
the Finite Element and Finite Volume method and solution strategies are
presented. Problem examples are simulated and discussed in small groups
at workstations (Hewlett - Packard). The lecture notes as well as a
demo version of the multiphase code 'MUFTE' are included in the course
fee. The participants are invited to contribute problems encountered in
their own work for discussion in small groups. There will be an oppor-
tunity to view current research projects related to multiphase flow
topics which are part of VEGAS (research facility for subsurface
remediation).
COURSE DIRECTOR:
Dr. Rainer Helmig, Institut fuer Wasserbau,
Universitaet Stuttgart
WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
The course is directed at persons with masters degree or an equal quali-
fication looking for a sound understanding of multiphase processes and/or
persons requiring an understanding of how to apply multiphase (e.g.
chlorinated hydrocarbons, mineral oil) flow and transport models in the
saturated or unsaturated zone.

DIMACS Workshop on NETWORK DESIGN: CONNECTIVITY AND FACILITIES LOCATION

Distingushed Speaker: Sanjeev Arora
Description: Connectivity and facilities location are two important
topics in network designs with applications in data communication,
transportation, production planning, and VISI designs.
There are two issues concerning these two topics: design
and optimization. They involve combinatorial design and combinatorial
optimization.
Finding the solution of design problems, and the optimal or
approximate solution of the related optimization
problem are challenging tasks because no polynomial time
algorithms are known.
Such problems include some variations of Steiner tree problems
(such as multiple connected Steiner network,
independent flow problem, and subset-interconnection designs),
topology network design, nonlinear assignment problems
(such as quadratic assignment problems), problems in facilities
location and allocation and network problems appearing in VLSI design.
The workshop will focus on combinatorial, algorithmic, and applicational
aspects of these problems. We will be especially interested in efficient
approximation algorithms and their computational performance.
Additional information on travel and local accommodations will be
provided at a later date. More information on the DIMACS special
year on Networks can be obtained from the dimacs webb pages:
