IMA workshop:
Knowledge and Distributed Intelligence (KDI)-
Opportunities in the Mathematical Sciences
Saturday, March 7, 1998
NSF has just announced a new Foundation-wide activity, Knowledge and
Distributed Intelligence (KDI), that builds on recent advances in
computation and communications to make new thrusts in three focal areas:
Knowledge Networking (KN), Learning and Intelligent Systems (LIS) and
New Computational Challenges (NCC). Mathematics and statistics are
intrinsic to KDI and mathematical scientists can participate at several
levels; see http://www.nsf.gov/kdi for further details. However, the
proposal solicitation was posted only in February 1998 and proposals are
due May 8, 1998, with letters of intent by April 1. Given the
complexity and interdisciplinary nature of the solicitation and the
short time for preparation of proposals, the IMA is offering a one-day
workshop to describe in some detail to the mathematical sciences
community the scientific represented by KDI. Similar workshops will be
hosted by MSRI and NISS.
The IMA will hold the workshop from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, March
7, 1998 in the IMA conference facility at the University of Minnesota in
Minneapolis. The purpose of the workshop is to inform mathematical
scientists about the funding opportunities presented by KDI and, in
particular, the mathematical research areas that are of greatest
interest. Proposal preparation issues and issues of interdisciplinary
collaboration will also be addressed. The workshop will begin with a
40-minute presentation by the NSF Division of Mathematical Sciences
program Director for KDI, Mike Steuerwalt, on the main issues of the
workshop. It will be followed by three consecutive sessions on Knowledge
Networking, Learning and Intelligent Systems and New Computational
Challenges, respectively. Each session will feature three short talks
by mathematical scientists working on projects that are highly relevant
to KDI, followed by a panel discussion (with questions from the floor).
Each panel will be composed of the speakers for the session and
appropriate NSF representatives. The workshop will be open to all,
including researchers from industry, but no funding can be provided.
IMA Participating Institutions can use IMA funds under their control
to send faculty to the workshop. More details can be found at the
IMA Website (http://www.ima.umn.edu/announce/).

Call for Papers
Fourth International Conference on
EXPERT SYSTEMS FOR NUMERICAL COMPUTING
Sponsored by IMACS
International Association for Mathematics and Computers in Simulation
August 6,7, 1998
University of Missouri-Columbia
Columbia, Missouri, USA.}
This international conference is the fourth organized by IMACS in a
series that brings together researchers whose work spans the field
of intelligent systems and scientific computing. There has been
steady growth in the development of research topics that are
essentially concerned with numerical computing that contain inputs
and tools coming from artificial intelligence. Today's state of the
art in several areas of computer science is not adequate to take
full advantage of the resources supplied by high power computing
and communication. For example, using monolithic software libraries
today may require skills and knowledge that scientists and
engineers do not have. Or finding one's way in those libraries
simply may be unreasonably time consuming. In either case, front
end interfaces containing concepts from artificial intelligence
have the potential of providing a significant assistance in this
process. There is thus a continuing demand in scientific/numeric
computing for systems using native "intelligence" assisting
application scientists and engineers. The evolving Global
information Infrastructure and advances in High Performance
Computing and Communications (HPCC) over the past decade, can
greatly enhance the problem solving power that a scientist or
engineer has at his finger tips. Software, compute and information
servers will be available to be dynamically combined by intelligent
systems to create tailor made problem solving environments. These
PSEs will enable access to the networked infrastructure from
resource constrained computational access points, bringing
"Terra-flops to the desktop" as it were.
TOPICS
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Expert Systems for Numerical Computing
Computational Intelligence Applications in Numerical Computing
Agent Based Systems for Numerical Computing
Intelligent Problem Solving Environments
Intelligent Systems for Numerical Meta-computing
Knowledge Based Systems for Scientific Applications
Intelligent HCI Systems in Scientific Computing
Knowledge Acquisition about Scientific Computing
SUBMISSION PROCESS
Extended abstracts of no more than 2 pages should be submitted
electronically (in postscript or HTML format) no later than the 1st
of April, 1998. They should be e-mailed to esnc@cecs.missouri.edu.

OBJECTIVES:
* Expose 30 graduate students in mathematics, engineering, and
statistics to challenging and exciting real-world problems
arising in industrial and government laboratory research
* Introduce students to the team approach to problem solving
FORMAT:
In the Workshop, which will be the fourth one to be held at North
Carolina State University, the students will be divided into six-member teams
to collaborate on "industrial mathematics" problems presented by experienced
scientists from industry and government laboratories. These problems are
not academic exercises found in classrooms, but rather challenging,
real-world problems from industry or applied science which require fresh
new insight for their formulation and solution. As in the previous workshops,
we expect to have one problem presenter from the National Security Agency.
Other problems will be drawn from projects under investigation by
ABB Power T&D Company, Aerospace Corporation, Battelle Memorial Institute,
Boeing Company, NIEHS, and Daniel H. Wagner Associates. Details regarding
problems investigated in previous years can be found at the web address
listed below.
