It will include tutorials, a high quality technical program, on-line and video taped demonstrations, informal poster sessions, vendor and university exhibits, and product briefings. TOPICS OF INTEREST. Examples include, but are not limited to, the following: Science and Supercomputing The Impact of New Technology on the Future of Supercomputing Supercomputing Execution Environment Supercomputing Development Environment Supercomputing Application Environment Supercomputing System Evaluation Supercomputing Management Issues Mass Storage and Supercomputers Technical Aspects of Products User Experience PAPERS. Authors are invited to submit papers which report concrete results and experience. Papers reporting important negative results are also encouraged. Selection criteria will include originality, clarity, and relevance. Requirements: Papers must be original material not previously published. Papers must be submitted without conditions; authors must obtain any necessary approvals and/or clearances prior to submission. Copyright release will be required. Authors of accepted papers will be responsible for retyping corrected papers on special forms to be provided and for preparing visual material for their presentations using guidelines to be provided. Camera-ready copy is due July 18, 1988. Presentation visual material is due for quality review October 4, 1988. Instructions: Submit five copies to the Program Chairman by March 14, 1988.

To: na@Score.Stanford.EDU I am currently working on moving the NA-NET to another machine. This is being done to improve service, add new features and also because the host that the na. facility is on is soon to disappear. Initial work has unearthed a few possible bugs in mailer software, and one instance of domain name resolution software. At least one of these bugs seems to have been living in a popular mail facility for some time. >From time to time I need to run tests and have to send out a short message to some "real addresses". Naturally I have selected the addresses from the NA distribution list. So, some of you will be getting short messages that should be ignored. We are not particularly interested in whether you have received any test message. Thanks for your patience, -mark Ack: Dan Kolkowitz has been a big help in understanding the systems problems. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 20 Nov 87 20:30:04 cst From: Hans Schneider To: na@score.stanford.edu Subject: Linear Algebra and Its Applications -- News Bulletin LAA NEWS BULLETIN Special issues of LINEAR ALGEBRA AND ITS APPLICATIONS LINEAR ALGEBRA AND ITS APPLICATIONS has a tradition of publishing special isues. There are three types of special issues. There are special issues honoring famous linear algebraists (Taussky, Householder, Ostrowski, Wielandt and Wilkinson). Other special issues present an area of linear algebra or an application (Large Scale Matrix Problems, Combinatorics and Graph Theory, Linear Systems and Control, Linear Algebra and Statistics, Parallel Computimg). Thirdly, LAA publishes as special isues proccedings of conferences (the Oberwolfach conference on Matrix Theory and Numerical Linear Algebra, and the Athens Symposium on Operator Theory). Currently eight special issues are in various stages of production. The first to appear will be The Role of Linear Algebra in Electrical Engineering (vol. 98, January 1988). Others that are forthcoming include an issue in honor of Alan Hoffman and the proceedings of three conferences: the Victoria conference on Combinatorial Matrix Theory, the Valencia conference on Linear Algebra and Applications and the Fourth Haifa Matrix Theory conference. Recently we have announced three issues devoted to applications of linear algebra: The second special issue on Linear Systems and Control, the second special issue on Linear Algebra and Statistics, and an issue on Linear Algebra in Image Reconstruction. Details of the last three issues will appear in volume 99 (February 1988). Detailed announcements are also being circulated over na.net and img-net and in publications such as SIAM LA-News and the newsletters of the applications involved. A listing of all special issues which are in progress will henceforth appear in each regular volume of LAA, beginning with volume 99. LAA plans to continue and augment the series of special issues of all types by publishing several each year. The publication of papers in regular volumes should not be affected for in 1988 LAA will publish 14 volumes (over 4,000 pages). Well considered proposals for further special issues are invited. 100 volume index of LINEAR ALGEBRA AND ITS APPLICATIONS Volume 100 of LAA (March 1988) will be an index volume. It will contain the author index for papers published in the first 100 volumes of the journal. It is also planned to include a list of all members of the editorial board since the inception of the journal and, to the extent possible, a list of all referees. A complete listing of special issues with their special editors and of profiles (biographical articles) and obituaries will also be included. Volume 100 may be purchased at a price of $40 from the publisher at the address below: Elsevier Science Publishing Co 52 Vanderbilt Ave New York NY 10017 ------------------------------ End of NA Digest ************************** -------
