Subject: Free LGO demo software available for education and non-profit research

Dear Colleagues,

We have made available an easy-to-use demonstration version of the
LGO global and local optimization solver suite. Solvable model sizes
are limited to 10 model variables and 10 model functions, in addition
to model variable bounds. This demo software can be freely used for
educational, non-profit research, and evaluation purposes.

Please contact us, if you wish to receive further information and/or
the software. The LGO demo software is currently available in two
versions: one of these can be used with the free Tiny C compiler (by
Fabrice Bellard), the other with the free C# compiler (by Microsoft).

Sincerely,

Frank Kampas and Janos Pinter

Subject: Workshop on Optimization On Manifolds, New Orleans, Dec 2007

One-day pre-conference workshop on "Optimization On Manifolds" at the
46th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control, New Orleans, LA, USA,
Tuesday December 11, 2007.

Organizers:
P.-A. Absil, Knut Hueper, Rodolphe Sepulchre

Additional Lecturers:
Uwe Helmke, Michel Journee, Shankar Sastry, Jochen Trumpf

The recent years have witnessed an increasing interest in the
development of efficient optimization algorithms defined on manifolds.
Applications abound in numerical linear algebra (eigenproblems),
statistical analysis (Principal and Independent Component analysis),
signal processing (blind source separation, subspace tracking), machine
learning (clustering), computer vision (pose estimation), to name a few.
Good algorithms result from the combination of insights from
differential geometry, optimization and numerical analysis.

The purpose of the workshop is to provide a tutorial introduction to
this rich field of applied mathematics with a parsimonious selection of
topics in differential geometry and in numerical algebra, and with an
illustration of engineering problems where the theory is currently applied.

The details of the workshop can be found at
http://www.inma.ucl.ac.be/~absil/oom/cdc07/
with a link to the conference and workshop web sites.

Pre-registration for the pre-CDC workshops is strongly encouraged.

Position in Bergen, Norway: MPI Parallel Programming for Industrial
Applications

BSSI (http://www.bssi.no) is an international SME software company
devoted to developing software for industrial applications --
presently applications for painting processes in the automotive
industry. The topic of MPI programming on multi-core architectures is
a strategic part of BSSI's R&D activities and BSSI has a position that
it is seeking to fill in this area. Being part of an SME naturally
means the topics of work and the manner of working may not appeal to
everyone but those seeking a challenge with the opportunity to make a
substantial contribution to industry and who feel the following
profile is not too daunting should send a resume to one of the people
mentioned at the foot of this note.

Profile of a successful candidate
* Strong background in software development preferably with exposure
to Fortran.
* Should not be afraid of mathematics or numerical methods.
* Exposure to MPI programming is a definite plus.
* Should be able to work long hours, under pressure, with time
constraints, and with a team of professional programmers,
scientists, and mathematicians.
* Should be able and willing to talk with, meet, and travel to
clients from any country.

Topics Covered
* The main topic is the development of methods and strategies for
parallel programming using MPI on multi-core architectures.
* The implementation of these methods and strategies in Fortran
code integrated with BSSI's suite of tools for industrial applications.
* Testing, verification, and documentation of all written code
using real-world examples from industry.

The position is ideal for a Research Assistant or Visiting scientist.
BSSI staff would also be willing and able to act as academic
supervisor to students with a strong first degree in a computer
science oriented subject who wish to consider the listed topics as the
basis for a research degree. Students could be registered at the
University of Kent or at one of the other Universities that BSSI works
with.

Females are encouraged to apply.

Environment: The environment supporting this activity is located in
Bergen, Norway. The successful candidate is expected to either live in
Bergen or to visit Bergen.

Language: The working language is English.

Subject: MSc and PhD studies in applied mathematics

University of Greenwich
MSc Applied Mathematical Modelling and Scientific Computing (AMMSC)
PhD Applied Mathematics

This advertisement is aimed at students who wish to consider January
entrance. Potential students aiming at distinctive MSc results with
migration to PhD studies in applied mathematics are invited to apply.
Fundings are not available for students at the MSc level. However
students successfully completed the MSc with distinctive results will
be selected to continue a PhD research programme, which will then be
fully funded, at the Centre for Numerical Modelling and Process
Analysis. Please refer to http://www.cms.gre.ac.uk for a full
description of the research activities.

Deadline for application: 30/11/2007.
Application form from http://cse.gre.ac.uk

The Masters programme is run by the Department of Mathematical
Sciences at Greenwich, within the School of of Computing and
Mathematical Sciences. This highly regarded department was ranked
10th in the 2007 UK departmental ranking
(http://www.timesonline.co.uk/section/0,,6734,00.html),
and the MSc is taught by members of the Centre for Numerical Modelling
and Process Analysis, an award winning research group.

This Masters programme aims to train and equip Honours graduates in
engineering, science or mathematics and suitably qualified
professionals, with the skills required to understand, and use, applied
mathematical modelling techniques and scientific computing technologies
in industry. Emphasis will be placed on modelling phenomena governed by
the physics of fluid flow, heat transfer, electromagnetics and solid
mechanics using CFD, FEA and other software tools. A core philosophy of
the programme is to introduce the students to the concept of
multi-physics modelling, where interactions between the governing
physics, and hence the relevant solution and software technologies, are
important. A strand of the programme is devoted to Fire and Evacuation
modelling, for candidates with Fire Safety degree background. Details of
available modules can be found at:
http://cse.gre.ac.uk

Entry requirements: A good Bachelor's degree in engineering, physics,
mathematics or a relevant related discipline. Those who have
substantial commercial or industrial experience but lack formal
qualifications should seek an interview with the programme leader.

Further details of the programme, applications, enquiries should
reach cmsinfo@gre.ac.uk (Mrs. Marilyn Nichols) or cse@gre.ac.uk
