Babuska Prize for the best work in computer science submitted by students and young scientists. The Prize winner for 1996 is Dr Petr Knobloch. The work honored was his PhD thesis Solvability and finite element discretization of a mathematical model related to Czochralski crystal growth defended at the Otto-von-Guericke Universitaet Magdeburg in Germany. Further winners on the second and third places who were delivered diplomas of honor were Dr Miroslav Rozloznik from the Institute of Computer Science of the Academy of Sciences in Prague with his PhD thesis Numerical stability of the GMRES method nad Dr Tomas Vampola from the Faculty of Machine Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague with his PhD thesis Efficient algorithm for the assembly of equations of motion for a system of many bodies considering the yielding. The fourth position was taken by Pavel Solin from the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of the Charles University in Prague with his diploma work Three-dimensional Euler equations and their numerical solution. The prize as well as the diplomas will be awarded every year and they are connected with a financial support. The prize was established in 1994 by an outstanding Czech mathematician Ivo Babuska. He was born in Prague in 1926 and after graduating from the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague he started his work in the Mathematical Institute of the Academy of Sciences. He was appointed professor in Prague in 1968 and since fall 1968 he has been working in the United States. Since 1995 he works at the Texas Institute for Computational and Applied Mathematics, University of Texas, Austin, TX. His scientific work is focused on numerical and applied mathematics and computational mechanics, and their use in practice. His results in the finite element method belong to the fundamentals of the method. He is the author of several monographs and has initiated several famous scientific meetings both in Europe and the United States. He established the journal Applications of Mathematics (formerly Aplikace matematiky) in 1956. Last year he was awarded the Bernard Bolzano Medal by the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic. The world mathematical community remembered the 70th birthdays of Prof. Ivo Babuska, and also Prof. Miroslav Fiedler, Prof. Jaroslav Kurzweil and Prof. Vlastimil Ptak at the Prague Mathematical Conference in Prague in July 1996.

Stokes Date: Tue, 17 Dec 1996 07:56:26 +0100 Subject: A 3D Tracking Problem Suppose we have K-landmarks (K > 2) on a rigid-body which is moving through space. We measure the 3D coordinates of each of these landmarks at times t = 1,2,...M. The measurements give us noisy 3D trajectories for each of these landmarks at M-points. Problem: Find smoothed trajectories for all landmarks if the distances between the landmarks are unchanged when: 1) the distances are known precisely, and 2) the distances are unknown. Any pointers would be appreciated. V. P.

Through parallel computing, not only problems may be solved faster, but also large-sized problems may become tractable. The SCOOP workshop is aimed to bring together experts in the field of parallel combinatorial computing. It will address both exact and approximate methods for scientific and practical hard optimization problems. The workshop will be the final meeting of the Human Capital and Mobility project SCOOP of the European Union. It will be held on the last day of the IPPS symposium (April 1--5, 1997), in Geneva, Switzerland. The program will consist of a key-note lecture, and a number of short (25 minute) contributed presentations. The key-note lecture will be the following. Stavros A.

Phillips Date: Wed, 18 Dec 96 09:35:43 MST Subject: Euro-Par'97 Workshop Parallel Discrete Algorithms Euro-Par'97 Announcing a Euro-Par'97 Workshop Parallel Discrete Algorithms Program Committee: * Cynthia Phillips, Sandia National Laboratories, USA, Chair * Michael Kaufmann, University of T\"ubingen, Germany, Local Chair * Paul Spirakis, Computer Technology Institute, Greece, Vice-Chair * Shang-Hua Teng, University of Minnesota, USA, Vice-Chair Deadline: 20 January 1997 (paper) 1 February 1997 (electronic) General Description: Euro-Par is the annual European conference in Parallel Processing. Like the 1996 conference in Lyon, the 1997 version will consist of a number of highly focussed workshops on all aspects of parallel processing, from theory to practice, from academy to industry. The workshops will present the latest advances in their respective domains. In addition, there will be a number of high-level tutorials of general interest plus a series of invited talks. Calls for papers for 20 workshops are being launched. All accepted papers will appear in the proceedings published by Springer-Verlag in the LNCS Series. Workshop Description: Workshop #08: Parallel Discrete Algorithms The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum for advances in the state of the art in parallel discrete algorithms. Parallel algorithms from all discrete areas are appropriate, including discrete optimization (for both specific problems and more generic methods such as parallel search), pattern recognition and image processing, discrete simulation, computational geometry, and graph theory. Special consideration will be given to scalable, practical algorithms. Algorithmic strategies for abstract parallel models such as LogP, BSP, or PRAMs are encouraged, as well as algorithmic tuning for specific architectures, and experimental analysis which provides insight into algorithmic choice. There is a strong relation to workshop #13, but we focus on specific algorithms rather than on models and methods. Topics of interest include: * discrete optimization * graph algorithms * computational geometry * discrete simulation methods * comparative experimental analysis Further information is available at URL http://www.uni-passau.de/europar97/. It includes the list of all workshops. Please send all information requests and comments to europar97@fmi.uni-passau.de. Register today on the Euro-Par'97 mailing list by sending us a mail!
