Subject: Global Optimization, Selected Case Studies
Dear Colleagues,
I have been in contact with Kluwer Academic Publishers regarding an
edited volume of case studies in global (nonconvex) optimization (GO).
The primary emphasis is on real-world applications - possibly including
also open problems - that apparently need genuine GO methodology.
It is planned that this volume will appear in the NOIA series. For currently
available books in the series, please see http://www.wkap.nl/series.htm/NOIA.
Potential contributors are asked to submit manuscripts based upon original
research. Manuscripts should be of 15-25 pages in length, following one of
the standard Kluwer AP styles. Kluwer stylefiles are available at
http://www.wkap.nl/kaphtml.htm/BOOKSTYLES.
There are four platforms to choose from: LaTeX, MS Word, WordPerfect, and
Scientific Workplace. Under each platform is a self-extracting (.exe) archive.
All contributions will be refereed. Upon acceptance, these will become
stand-alone chapters of the edited volume. I certainly plan to review all
contributions myself, but additional reviewer volunteers will be very much
appreciated. (They do not have to be - but can be - contributing authors,
of course.)
It would be good to complete work on this timely volume as soon as possible,
including the review process. Therefore I would like to ask contributors to
submit their work by May 31, 2000.
Potential contributors, please send a note that includes a tentative title
for your contribution. Reviewers, please send a note regarding areas within
GO you are willing to review.
Thank you in advance for your consideration of contributing to this volume.
Best regards,
Janos Pinter

- Introduces the fundamentals of deterministic global optimization
- Provides a thorough treatment of decomposition based
global optimization approaches for biconvex and bilinear problems

programming problems
- Presents in depth global optimization algorithms for general
twice continuously differentiable nonlinear problems

enclosure of all solutions of nonlinear constrained systems of equations
- Includes many important applications from process design, synthesis,
control, and operations, phase equilibrium, design under uncertainty,

Subject: European Conference on Parallel Computing
Call for papers
Euro-Par 2000
Munich, Germany
August 29 - September 1, 2000
Euro-Par is the annual European conference on parallel computing. It is
dedicated to the promotion and advancement of all aspects of parallel
computing. Euro-Par 2000 is organized as a day of tutorials, two half-day
plenary sessions, and a number of parallel sessions.
Topic 10: "Parallel Programming: Models, Methods and Languages" provides a
forum for the presentation of the latest research results and practical
experience in parallel programming. Advances in algorithmic and programming
models, design methods, languages, and interfaces are needed for construction
of correct, portable parallel software with predictable performance on
different parallel and distributed architectures.
The topic emphasises results which improve the process of developing
high-performance programs. Of particular interest are novel techniques by
which parallel software can be assembled from reusable parallel components
without compromising efficiency. Related to this is the need for parallel
software to adapt, both to available resources and to the problem being solved.
Where appropriate, contributions should demonstrate quantitative performance
results in support of their claims, and address applications not adequately
handled by well-established approaches.
Topic Committee :
Global chair : Paul H J Kelly (Imperial College, UK)
Vice-chair : Scott Baden (Univ of California, San Diego, USA)
Vice-chair : Vladimir Getov (Univ of Westminster, UK)

THE INSTITUTE OF MATHEMATICS AND ITS APPLICATIONS
SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS
FIFTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON MATHEMATICS IN SIGNAL PROCESSING
University of Warwick, 18th - 20th December 2000
Co-sponsored by the Institution of Electrical Engineers
Signal processing constitutes an important area for the application of
mathematical concepts and techniques fuelled, for example, by recent
developments in mobile communications, multimedia systems and digital
TV. The last IMA conference on this subject was held in Dec. 1996 and
the intervening years have witnessed significant developments in many
topics such as nonlinear/non-Gaussian signal processing, multirate
signal processing, blind deconvolution/signal separation and broadband
systems. The aim of this conference is to bring together mathematicians
and engineers with a view to exploring recent developments and
identifying fruitful avenues for further research. It is hoped that
the meeting will also help to attract more mathematicians into this
important and challenging field.
Keynote Speaker: Dr. Pierre Comon, Eurecom, France.
"Tensor Decompositions: State of the Art and Applications"
Contributed papers are invited on all aspects of mathematics
in signal processing. The majority of contributed papers will be
presented in the poster sessions.
