Subject: Walking Through a Database of Algorithms for Appoximation

In na-digest/v88n40, Valeria Frontini writes

In response, I am pleased to announce a service to help locate
approximation software, in netlib or elsewhere.

First, say "dial 201-582-1238" or "telnet research.att.com" and in
response to "login:" type "walk".  (No password is required.)
The first of these connects you, via our uucp gateway, to a database
machine;  the second connects you to the Vax750 which handles all
arpanet traffic for AT&T and which therefore can be painfully slow.

You will be presented with a menu like
  1. form (basis of approximating space)
  2. norm (criteria of approximation, figure of merit, nonstandard data)
  3. variable (coordinate transform, mesh generation)
  4. diagnostics
  5. tools from other fields
  6. omitted topics
  ?
and should respond with a digit to begin traversing the tree.  At the
leaves you will find citations to published algorithms and available
software.  Instead of a digit, type a ^ to back up one question, ^^ to
start afresh, or . or control-d to exit.

Comments are welcome, especially pointers to software that has been overlooked.

Subject: IEEE Digital Signal Processing Programs on IBM/PC

I am interested in knowing who has converted the IEEE
Digital Signal Processing Programs to be used on IBM/PC.
How much conversion is needed to run under the Microsoft
Fortran Compiler?

In particular, I am interested in getting hold of the code
for the Cepstral Analysis part for the moment.

Many Thanks.  S.I. Chou   619-553-2541

Subject: Wilkinson Followship at Argonne National Laboratory

     WILKINSON FELLOWSHIP IN COMPUTATIONAL MATHEMATICS
         Mathematics and Computer Science Division
                Argonne National Laboratory

     Argonne  National  Laboratory  is  seeking  outstanding
candidates  in the general area of computational mathematics
to fill the  newly  created  J.H.  Wilkinson  Fellowship  in
Computational Mathematics.

     This fellowship was created  in  memory  of  Dr.  James
Hardy  Wilkinson,  F.R.S.,  who  for  many years had a close
association  with  the  Mathematics  and  Computer   Science
Division  at  Argonne,  where  he  acted as a consultant and
guiding spirit for such efforts as the EISPACK  and  LINPACK
projects.

     The J.H. Wilkinson Fellowship is intended to  encourage
young  scientists  who are actively engaged in state-of-the-
art research in computational mathematics-including, but not
limited  to, the development and implementation of numerical
algorithms for linear  algebra.   The  candidate  must  have
earned  (or  be  about  to  earn)  a  Ph.D.  degree  or  the
equivalent during the past three years  and  should  have  a
strong  background  in numerical computation.  The candidate
should also be interested in  expanding  into  the  area  of
advanced  computing  research.   Argonne's  Mathematics  and
Computer   Science   Division   has   strong   programs   in
computational mathematics and advanced computing, as well as
in software engineering and applied analysis.

     This  one-year  appointment  includes   a   competitive
salary,  moving expenses, and a generous professional travel
allotment.  Applications from qualified candidates, as  well
as  nominations for the position of Wilkinson Fellow, should
be addressed  to  Rosalie  L.  Bottino,  Box  D-MCS-WF89-83,
Employment  and  Placement,  9700  South  Cass Ave., Argonne
National   Laboratory,   Argonne,    Illinois    60439-4844.
Applications  should  include  a  resume  and a statement of
research goals, and the  names  of  three  references.   The
closing  date  for  applications  is  December 1, 1988.  The
applications will be reviewed during  January  1989,  by  an
international   selection   committee.   The  position  will
commence during 1989.

     Further inquiries can be made by  calling  312-972-7163
or by sending electronic mail to [email-masked].

     Argonne  is  an  affirmative  action/equal  opportunity
employer.

Subject: Field Positions with Ardent Computer

At Ardent Computer we are looking to fill a couple of field technical
support positions.  You would work out of one of our sales offices
(there are over a dozen, including three in Europe), and have a
range of technical responsibilities.  You would report to the local
regional sales manager, but would have a lot of contact with our
Scientific Software group in the Sunnyvale headquarters.  You would need
a strong background in scientific computing, especially Fortran, UNIX,
mathematics and graphics.  An advanced degree and/or several years of
experience are desirable.  Contact me and I will pass your name on to
the appropriate field office.
