Subject: New Edition of PLTMG Package
PLTMG 8.0 is a package for solving elliptic partial
differential equations in general regions of the plane.
It is based on continuous piecewise linear triangular finite elements,
and features adaptive local mesh refinement, multigraph iteration,
and pseudo-arclength continuation options for parameter
dependencies. The package includes an initial mesh generator
and several graphics packages. Full documentation is provided in
PLTMG: A Software Package for Solving Elliptic Partial Differential Equations
- Users' Guide 8.0 (ISBN 0-89871-409-5), available from SIAM Publications.
PLTMG is provided as Fortran (and a little C) source code, in
both single and double precision versions. The included X-Windows GUI uses the
default Athena Widget set, and makes calls to standard library routines
of the X-Windows system, which must be loaded along with the PLTMG software.
PLTMG is available from Netlib and Mgnet.

First announcement and call for contributed papers
Conference in honor of Olga Ladyzhenskaya
Recent Trends and Advances in PDEs and Numerical PDEs
August 2-5, 1998
Iowa State Univeristy
Ames, Iowa
Conference web site
http://www.math.iastate.edu/pdeconaug.html
Supported by the National Science Foundation, the Iowa State University
Miller Lecture Fund and the Department of Mathematics
Partial differential equations (PDEs) is the language of much of
science and engineering so that advances in PDEs and their approximate
solution are of continuing importance to applications. The conference
has as one of its goals to foment cross-fertilization by bringing
together a variety of researchers in the wide, wide world of PDEs. We
plan to facilitate individual and small group interactions. The
conference will have a general theme of recent advances and trends in
the theory and computation of PDEs, especially nonlinear ones. We will
focus on models and theoretical and computational results that are of
importance in applications. The inclusion of a wide variety of
theoretical and computational topics in the conference will provide
for an exchange of information between researchers working on
different problems who may ordinarily not interact with each other or
who might not learn about new developments that could help their own
research programs. This aspect of the conference may especially
benefit junior mathematicians who will be exposed to the great variety
of approaches and models that the general PDE community has developed.

Subject: Postdoctoral Position at CWI/GMD
In a joint research project of the Dutch Center for Mathematics and Computer
Science (CWI) and the German National Research Center for Information
Technology (GMD), there is an open two- to three-year position for a
POST-DOC.
The aim of the research is to extend an existing PDE-software package (LiSS)
with sparse-grid and overlapping-grid techniques.
The extension will be directed towards 3D fluid-flow applications.
Sparse-grid techniques will be applied to reduce the number of grid points with
as little loss of accuracy as possible. The overlapping-grid techniques will
be used to fit curved boundaries, in particular free-surface boundaries.
Candidates are expected to have done their PhD-research in numerical mathematics
or computational fluid dynamics. (Applications from candidates who are about
to finish their PhD-work are also welcome.)
Working periods and places will probably be: first or last half of the project
duration at CWI (Amsterdam), other half at GMD (near Bonn).
Further information can be obtained from:
at CWI: Prof. P.W. Hemker (P.W.Hemker@cwi.nl, 020-5924108),
Dr. B. Koren (Barry.Koren@cwi.nl, 020-5924114),
at GMD: Prof. U. Trottenberg (trottenberg@gmd.de),
Dr.C.W. Oosterlee (oosterlee@gmd.de) or
Dr. A. Schueller (schueller@gmd.de).

Subject: Papers Sought for Parallel and Distributed Computing
CALL FOR OVERVIEW PAPERS
The area of PARALLEL AND DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING has matured to the point
when it could benefit from papers providing a broader perspective on the
discipline and attempting to introduce order into the rapidly expanding
knowledge. To address this need the new journal -- Parallel and
Distributed Computing Practices (http://orca.st.usm.edu/pdcp) -- decided
to publish OVERVIEW papers.
An overview paper is expected to cover a subarea of parallel and/or
distributed computing. It is supposed to contain a historical perspective
on the developments up to date as well as information about the state of
the art. It should also contain the description of what research is
currently considered the most important and which roads are considered to
be the most promising to lead to the answers. The paper should contain
extensive bibliography. It is crucial that the paper be written in such a
way as to be accessible to computer professionals who do not have detailed
knowledge of the subject. All papers are refereed against a specially
designed set of criteria matching their special nature (see the WWW site
for more details). Due to the nature of the endeavor we expect the
overview papers to be longer than the papers typically accepted for
journal publication.
I am happy to announce that the first issue (in print now) contains an
overview paper: "Asynchrony in Parallel Computing: From Dataflow to
Multithreading" by J. Silc, B. Robic and T. Ungerer. It is a rather
extensive study (with 236 references) providing an excellent source of
information about the subject.
I would like to invite all everyone interested in contributing an overview
paper to contact the Editor-in-Chief (Marcin Paprzycki) at:
m.paprzycki@usm.edu to discuss the details of the project.

SCOPE OF THE JOURNAL
The main purpose of "Computational Analysis and Applications" is to publish
high quality research articles from all subareas of Computational Mathematical
Analysis and its many potential applications and connections to other areas of
Mathematical Sciences. Any paper whose approach and proofs are computational,
using methods from Mathematical Analysis in the broadest sense is suitable and
welcome for consideration in our journal, except from Applied Numerical Analysis
articles. The list of possibly connected mathematical areas with this publication
includes and is not restricted to: Applied Analysis, Applied Functional Analysis,
Approximation Theory, Asymptotic Analysis, Difference Equations, Differential
Equations,Partial Differential Equations, Fourier Analysis, Fractals, Fuzzy Sets,
Harmonic Analysis, Inequalities, Integral Equations, Measure Theory, Moment Theory,
Neural Networks, Numerical Functional Analysis, Potential Theory, Probability Theory,
Real and Complex Analysis, Signal Analysis, Special Functions, Splines, Stochastic
Analysis, Stochastic Processes, Summability, Tomography, Wavelets, any combination
of the above, etc.
Working Analytically and Computationally in Mathematical Sciences has become
a main trend in the last years, as well as mixing different branches, so we can
understand better and deeper the important and complex problems of our real and
scientific world. "Computational Analysis and Applications" will be a peer-reviewed
Journal. We are calling for papers for possible publication.
The contributor should send four copies of the contribution to the
editor in-Chief, typed in TEX, LATEX double space.
