Subject: Scotch 5.1.12 is out!

We announce the release, as libre/free software, of revision 5.1.12 of
the SCOTCH and PT-SCOTCH software package and library for sequential
and parallel graph partitioning, sequential and parallel graph
clustering, sequential mesh/hypergraph partitioning and static
mapping, and sequential and parallel sparse matrix block ordering.

Important new features
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
- The clustering capabilities of Scotch and PT-Scotch are now
available from the command line programs. Strategy string building
routines are also available in the libScotch library for clustering.
- Some internal graph handling routines have been exposed in the
interface, such as for graph coarsening. This may allow people
working with unstructured meshes to implement multi-level mesh
computations directly by taking advantage of the distributed graph
coarsening and data exchange (halo) routines provided by libScotch.
- Load balance enforcement has been improved much for parallel graph
partitioning.

Sequential graph repartitioning and remapping will be available in the
next 5.2 release. Parallel static mapping and parallel direct k-way
graph partitioning will be available in release 5.3.

Scotch can be freely downloaded, under the terms of the CeCILL-C
license. To ease the development, diffusion, and circulation of
information regarding the SCOTCH project, most of its resources are
now hosted on the InriaGforge platform provided by INRIA. Please refer
to the SCOTCH web page at : http://www.labri.fr/~pelegrin/scotch/
for more information. People interested in the SCOTCH project are
welcome to subscribe to the "scotch-announces" mailing list at :

Subject: IMA Influence and Conflict, UK, Apr 2012

5TH IMA INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ANALYTICAL APPROACHES TO CONFLICT
23-25 April 2012, Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, UK

Recent years have seen an explosion of interest in the application of
influence as a tool for achieving objectives or maintaining
outcomes. One reason for this is that actions alone seldom achieve
intended effects - there is a need to change 'hearts and minds' if
developments are to sustain any lasting impact. This conference will
provide a forum for the exploration of the synergy between soft and
hard power in conflict situations. As is appropriate for an
IMA-supported event the emphasis will be upon the contribution that
explicitly analytical approaches can make to this theme. Specifically
it is expected that the relevance of mathematics and mathematical
logic will be demonstrated in abstracts accepted for the conference.

Papers will be accepted for the conference based on a 200 word
abstract. Abstracts should be submitted by 30 November 2011 either
online at http://online.ima.org.uk/ or by email to
conferences@ima.org.uk. For further information on this conference,

Subject: RICAM Special Semester, Linz, Austria, Oct 2011

The Johann Radon Institute for Computational and Applied Mathematics
(RICAM) will be hosting the workshop on "Simulation of flow in porous
media and applications in waste management and CO2 sequestration".
This is the first workshop in the "Special Semester on Multiscale
Simulation & Analysis in Energy and the Environment".

Workshop Organizers: P. Bastian, J. Kraus, R. Scheichl, M. Wheeler

Abstract: Subsurface flow problems are inherently multiscale in space
and time due to the large variability of material properties and the
coupling of many different physical processes, such as advection,
diffusion, reaction and phase exchange, as well as coupling to surface
flow models. Moreover, parameters of the models are difficult to
access and often uncertain. The workshop will bring together key
numerical mathematicians whose interest is in the analysis and
computation of multiscale subsurface flow and practitioners whose
interest is in the application of these core problems in energy and
the environment, such as deep geological disposal of radioactive waste
or carbon capture and storage. The workshop also includes a special
session on "Fuel cell modeling".

Confirmed invited speakers: J. Becker (ITWM Kaiserslautern),
A. Bourgeat (Lyon), H. Dahle (Bergen), M. Discacciati (EPFL Lausanne),

Subject: PhD Position, CERFACS, Toulouse

We have an immediate opening for a PhD student position at the
Parallel Algorithms group of CERFACS in Toulouse, France.

The main research focus will be on the solution of coupled systems of
partial differential equations arising in reservoir
modelling. Efficient and accurate modelling is notably required when
designing the next generation of reservoirs for oil
prospection. Solution methods based on algebraic multigrid methods
will be investigated in this PhD thesis.

This project is carried out in collaboration with the Reservoir
Department of Total, Pau and concrete applications will be provided by
our research partner.

A degree in mathematics or computer science is required. This project
has a significant numerical analysis and programming part. Hence
preference will be given to candidates with a good knowledge of
numerical linear algebra, numerical analysis and computational methods
for partial differential equations.

Applications including academic curriculum as well as contact
information of two references should be submitted to Serge Gratton
(serge.gratton@enseeiht.fr) and Xavier Vasseur (vasseur@cerfacs.fr)
