Pat Gaffney, along with Jack Dongarra, Iaian Duff, and Sean McKee organized the conference with the able assistance of Berit Hilt. In a meeting filled with five days of good talks and unusual social activities it is hard to point to one "highlight". For some it may have been the midnight sun lecture, for others skiing down a hill at midnight in broad daylight, or having their drink delivered by helicopter. Those older folk at the meeting (like myself) found it hard to keep up with the social activities because of the number of talks that we wanted to hear in the day, but it certainly was a memorable conference. A nice feature of the conference was a set of 6 students papers, selected from 27 submissions. The students received scholarships to attend the conference. The quality of the submissions was extremely good, and the presentations by the students selected were excellent. Congratulations to all and a sincere thank you from one of the attendees. Bill Gear President, SIAM [Ed. note: And another thanks from another attendee. Terrific meeting. --Cleve] ------------------------------ From: Jim Pool Date: Fri, 17 Jun 88 10:19:02 cdt Subject: Change of Address for Jim Pool I just finished reading a message I sent approximately six years ago expressing my appreciation to the research community and the staff in various Federal agencies for their support of my efforts during my five year tenure at the Office of Energy Research of the Department of Energy and at the Office of Naval Research. I recall the difficulty I had preparing the address list for that message. Today, thanks to the foresight of Gene Golub, it is much easier to communicate with the numerical analysis community. Yesterday, I accepted the position of Head of the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at Drexel University effective September 1. During the past six years at the Numerical Algorithms Group, I have enjoyed continued interactions with the mathematics and computer science research community. I, however, anticipate an increased level of interaction as we build research programs at Drexel directed toward computational science and engineering. I would like to thank the numerous members of the numerical analysis community who suggested possible opportunities. During my "brief respite", I traveled from California to Massachusetts and from Texas to Minnesota to explore these opportunities. I would especially like to express my appreciation to those individuals who responded to the queries about my background from numerous organizations. Effective approximately August 1, my address will be: James C. T. Pool Department of Mathematics and Computer Science Drexel University Philadelphia, PA 19104 215-895-2668 For the immediate future, my email address will continue to be: pool@anl-mcs.arpa I am, indeed, excited about my return to a more active role in the mathematics and computer science research community and look forward to continued interactions with the numerical analysis community, especially during our recruiting efforts at Drexel. ------------------------------ From: Ted Emigh Date: 17 Jun 88 17:27:21 GMT Subject: T3 Technical Word Processing Mailing List I am starting a mailing list of persons interested in the WYSIWYG technical word processor T3 (the 3 is superscripted, so it is pronounced T-cubed). T3 is a word processor running on IBM/PCs and clones that is designed to make writing mathematical papers easier. This mailing list can be used as a means of sharing the macros you write, or of asking (and hopefully getting the answers to) various questions about T3. Rumors are also welcome! If you are interested in this mailing list, please send a request to be added to the list to: DOMAINS or ARPA: t3-request@ncsugn.ncsu.edu UUCP: t3-request@ncsugn.uucp BITNET: t3-request%ncsugn@MCNC.UUCP -- Ted H.
