Subject: Software Tools for Computational Science

This past semester, I taught a new senior/masters level
course in the Computer Science Department at Cornell called
"Software Tools for Computational Science." The emphasis
was not on high-performance computing but on scientific
computing generally -- and on certain areas of science.
The course was split into seven two-week segments in which
the students used the following tools (while hearing and
reading about many others): Matlab, Maple, Netlib, IBM Data
Explorer, MultiMATLAB, ADIFOR, and BLAST.

For more information, take a look at

Subject: Choosing an Optimization Algorithm

I'm looking for papers dealing with choosing an appropriate
optimization algorithm for continuous optimization problems.
I'm particularly interested in determining if a unimodal
or multimodal optimizer is appropriate.

Any leads would be most appreciated.

Subject: Interval '98

International Conference on Interval Methods and their Application
in Global Optimization (INTERVAL'98), April 20-23, Nanjing, China

First announcement and call for papers

The conferences INTERVAL'XX are devoted to various
aspects of reliable numerical computations based on interval approach.
(Sometimes the terms validated numerics, localizational computations, or
enclosure methods are used). Talks are devoted to development of
corresponding mathematical structures, design of computer tools, and
applications in a wide range of areas.

The following topics will be considered: interval mathematics, hardware and
software for interval and computer-algebraic methods, SC-languages, logic
constraint programming, interval modelling, interval constraints, computer
aided proofs in analysis, interval algorithms in control theory,
organization of symbolic-numeric interfaces, programming environments for
scientific computing.

Papers on applications in various fields of science and
engineering (as well as commercial issues) are especially welcome.

Two copies of an extended abstract (1 or 2 pages) must be received
before 31 October 1997. Electronic submission
is strongly recommended. A collection of extended abstracts will be printed
before the conference. Refereed proceedings including full versions of
selected papers will be published after the conference.

For more information, contact the Conference Chair
Prof. Dr. Shen Zuhe at email:shenzuhe@netra.nju.edu.cn
(snail mail address Department of Mathematics, Nanjing University,
Nanjing 21008, People's Republic of China).
A website is being constructed. You can access it from the
interval computations website http://cs.utep.edu/interval-comp

Subject: Numerical Aspects of Reduction in Chemical Kinetics

NUMERICAL ASPECTS OF REDUCTION IN CHEMICAL KINETICS

held at CERMICS, Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussees, PARIS, FRANCE.
September 2nd, 1997

T.Turanyi (Budapest, Hungary)
P.Rouchon (ENSMP, France)

The importance of reducing techniques has grown steadily over the past few
years. This Workshop will focus on the numerical and methodological aspects of
reduction in chemical kinetics.
Its aim is to bring together people from academia and industry, working in
several fields of application (combustion, reactive transport, air pollution
modelling) and in various scientific communities (chemistry, fluid mechanics,
applied mathematics and dynamical systems) in order to confront their points
of view.

Subject: Virtual Workshop on Serial and Parallel Performance Issues

Cornell Theory Center Virtual Workshop
Serial and Parallel Performance Issues
June 30 - July 25, 1997
**Registration deadline extended to: June 3, 1997**

This course covers strategies for improving the performance of serial and
parallel programs. It advocates a two-pronged approach: understanding how
the hardware/software environment defines efficient programming practices,
and using software tools to evaluate performance and diagnose problems.
The course materials are based on the IBM RS/6000 SP scalable parallel
computer, although the concepts presented are applicable to many machines.

The Virtual Workshop is an entirely over-the-network educational program.
You work at your own pace from your home machine, with access to Web-based
course materials, the CTC's world-class IBM RS/6000 SP, and dedicated
e-mail consulting.

Short Conference on
``HIGH PERFORMANCE SOFTWARE FOR NONLINEAR OPTIMIZATION:
STATUS AND PERSPECTIVES''. Ischia, Italy 4 - 6 June 1997
H P S N O 97

The Research Center for Parallel Computing and Supercomputers
(CPS), a joint research center of the CNR (National Research
Council of Italy) and the University of Naples ``Federico II'',
will host a short conference entitled "High Performance
Software for Nonlinear Optimization" on 4-6 June 1997 in Ischia
(which is one of the islands in the bay of Naples), Italy.

The focus of the conference is to cover the latest algorithmic
developments in the field of numerical optimization, optimiza-
tion software and, in particular, optimization software for
high performance computers. The conference will provide an over-
view of the nonlinear optimization field, including algorithms,
software evaluation, implementation issues, applications and fu-
ture areas of research through 8 invited lectures and 25 selected
contributed papers. The Conference will include a special session
devoted to industrial applications.
Papers presented at the Conference will be considered for publi-
cation after the Conference by Kluwer.
