Subject: Seeking Efficient Skyline/Profile Solver
I'm looking for an efficient in- or out-of-core skyline/profile matrix solver,
written in either C or FORTRAN. Preferably something which is (or could be)
parallelized, but not necessary. Any help would be appreciated.

Subject: User Level Interface to Level 3 Sparse BLAS
The following paper has just been accepted for publication in ACM Trans Math
Softw. The revised technical report which has same text as
the accepted paper can be obtained by anonymous ftp to matisa.cc.rl.ac.uk
(130.246.8.22). The gzipped postscript is in file dmrvRAL95049.ps.gz
in directory pub/reports. For copyright reasons, this may not be available
for long, so download your copies early!
The referees were keen that we did not claim that this is a standard, but
hopefully this work will help to focus efforts at establishing standard
interfaces to the sparse BLAS.

New Journal
COMPUTING AND VISUALIZATION IN SCIENCE
Aims and Scope
Devoted to computational sciences - a field of major and
continually growing importance for both research and
applications, this journal provides the ideal platform for
scientists eager to cooperate in solving scientific and
technological challenges. The aim is to link professionals from
the diverse fields of
* mathematics, * computer science * physics, * chemistry, *
environmental sciences, * biosciences and * engineering.
The rapid development of computer technology has opened up new
perspectives, increased the importance of mathematical models and
created an urgent need for efficient algorithms. Reflecting these
trends, the journal has set itself the goal of publishing
pioneering methods and applications which precipitate the
solution of complex problems - or even make such solutions
possible at all.
Since visualization has become an important scientific tool,
especially in the analysis of complex situations, it is treated
in close connection with the other areas covered by the journal.
These areas include:
* mathematical modeling and analysis of model systems * numerical
methods and algorithms * development of simulation software *
optimization and control * parallel computing * visualization and
image analysis * computational physics and chemistry * structural
mechanics * fluid dynamics * environmental sciences * computation
in biosciences and medicine * modeling and computation in
engineering
As well as publishing this exciting material in print form,
Computing and Visualization in Science will also make the
documents available to subscribers electronically via a server.

THE WORKSHOP AS A PART OF A LARGER INITIATIVE
Our workshop initiative will be part of a series of workshops organized
by the "Associazione Amici della Scuola Normale Superiore", ASN
(Association of the Friends of the Scuola Normale Superiore) in the
field of Mathematics for Engineering Applications. Earlier workshops
were in the areas of CFD, Dynamic Control for Industrial Processes,
Image Treatment for both Industrial and Medical Applications. The
audience is typically very heterogeneous, academicians and others coming
from the R&D Departments of several italian industries.

Subject: Neurocomputing at the Munich Stochastic Days
Numerical approximation and numerical synthesis by neurocomputing usually is
not among the topics of a conference on Stochastics. Therefore I want to call
attention especially to Section 14 "Stochastic Optimization and Numerical
Approximation with Neural Networks" of the following Conference (abbreviated
1st announcement):
Special Interest Group Stochastics
1st announcement
MUENCHENER STOCHASTIK-TAGE (Munich Stochastic Days) 1998
March 24 - 27, 1998
at the
Federal Armed Forces University Munich, Neubiberg/Munich
with support of the
GAMM - Committee on "Applied Stochastic and Optimization"
IFIP - Working Group WG7.7 "Stochastic Optimization"
After the Stochastic Days in Marburg, September 13 - 16, 1993 and in
Freiberg Sachsen), March 26 - 29, 1996, the Special Interest Group on
Stochastics holds its third Stochstic Days at the "Universitaet der
Bundeswehr Muenchen" in Neubiberg.
Corresponding to the conferences so far in Marburg and Freiberg, the Munich
Stochstic Days are to give representatives of university, industry, and
administration the opportunity to present new results in the field of
stochastic - in theory and practice - and to discuss with colleagues.
