Subject: Course Notes on Algebraic Multigrid
The course notes
Introduction to Algebraic Multigrid
of an algebraic multigrid course for graduate and PhD students at the
University of Heidelberg are now available.
The discussed algebraic multigrid approaches are classified into several
groups. One or two representatives of these groups are analyzed in detail,
while the other members of these classes are briefly summarized. Theoretical
and numerical results are presented.
The selection of the algorithms is not assumed to be complete and does not
induce any rating of the performance of algebraic multigrid methods.
The course notes can be downloaded from my homepage at
www.iwr.uni-heidelberg.de/iwr/techsim/chris
Please let me know about any problem downloading the course notes.

Subject: New Book, Computational Fluid Dynamics Review
COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS REVIEW 1998 (In 2 Volumes)
edited by M Hafez (University of California, Davis) & K Oshima (University
of Tokyo)
The first volume of CFD Review was published in 1995. The purpose of this
new publication is to present comprehensive surveys and review articles
which provide up-to-date information about recent progress in
computational fluid dynamics, on a regular basis. Because of the
multidisciplinary nature of CFD, it is difficult to cope with all the
important developments in related areas. There are at least ten regular
international conferences dealing with different aspects of CFD.
It is a real challenge to keep up with all these activities and to be
aware of essential and fundamental contributions in these areas. It is
hoped that CFD Review will help in this regard by covering the
state-of-the-art in this field.
The present book contains sixty-two articles written by authors from the
US, Europe, Japan and China, covering the main aspects of CFD. There are
five sections: general topics, numerical methods, flow physics,
interdisciplinary applications, parallel computation and flow
visualization. The section on numerical methods includes grids, schemes
and solvers, while that on flow physics includes incompressible and
compressible flows, hypersonics and gas kinetics as well as transition and
turbulence. This book should be useful to all researchers in this
fast-developing field.

Subject: Nominations for Householder Award
LAST REMINDER
HOUSEHOLDER AWARD X
Nominations are solicited for the Alston S. Householder
Award X (1999). The award will be presented to the author of the
best dissertation in numerical algebra submitted by the recipient
of a Ph.D. earned between January 1, 1996, and December 31, 1998.
The term numerical algebra is intended to describe those parts of
mathematical research that have both algebraic aspects and numerical
content or implications. Thus, for example, the term covers linear
algebra that has numerical applications and the algebraic aspects of
ordinary differential, partial differential, integral, and nonlinear
equations. To qualify, the dissertation must have been submitted to
fulfill requirements for a degree at the level of a United States Ph.D.
Candidates from countries in which a formal dissertation is not
normally written at that level may submit an equivalent piece of work.
The Householder Award, given every three years, was established at the
1969 Gatlinburg Symposium (now renamed the Householder Symposium) to
recognize the outstanding contributions of Alston S. Householder,
1904-1993, to numerical analysis and linear algebra.
Entries will be assessed by an international committee consisting of
James Demmel (University of California, Berkeley), Ludwig Elsner
(University of Bielefeld), Paul Van Dooren (Catholic University of
Louvain), Charles Van Loan (Cornell University), and Olof Widlund
(Courant Institute, New York University).
The candidate's sponsor (the supervisor of the candidate's research)
should submit five copies of the dissertation (or qualifying work),
together with an appraisal to the address below by

SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS
Joint AMS/IMS/SIAM Summer Research Conference (SRC'99)
Structured Matrices in Operator Theory, Numerical
Analysis, Control, Signal and Image Processing
Boulder, Colorado, June 27-July 1, 1999
DEADLINES:
February 1, 1999 - deadline for submission of contributed
abstracts to
jsrc99@schur.cs.gsu.edu
March 3, 1999 - deadline to request an invitation from the AMS
Conference Coordinator (see below).
THEMES: Structured matrices are encountered in a surprising
variety of areas: operator theory, interpolation, control,
numerical analysis, coding theory, theoretical computer
science, electrical engineering and many others. In the last
few years we witnessed continuously increasing activity in this
area. Though special sessions and minisymposia on structured
matrices are usually included in the programs of MTNS, ILAS,
SIAM, and SPIE meetings, their narrow frameworks usually allow
us to focus on only one specific area of applications. The
purpose of this conference is to foster integration between the
different areas and to bring together leading researchers working
on all aspects of structured matrices.
The invited and contributed talks will focus on recent advances
in the following areas: fast algorithms for structured matrices,
computer arithmetic, numerical accuracy, displacement structure,
operator theory, interpolation, applications of structured
matrices to system theory, circuits, signal processing, adaptive
filtering, control, image processing, coding theory.
INVITED SPEAKERS include: Dario Bini (Pisa); Biswa Datta (NIU);

WORKSHOP ON CONTINUOUS OPTIMIZATION
RIO DE JANEIRO, JUNE 21-26, 1999
Special Issue of Annals of Operations Research
An agreement has been reached with the editors of
Annals of Operations Research, concerning the publication
of a special issue of this journal devoted to papers
submitted to our workshop. Papers submitted to the
special issue will be subject to the standard refereeing process,
and the issue will be a regular one (i.e. it will not be
the proceedings of the workshop, but rather it will consist
of those papers submitted to the workshop which the referees
assess as deserving publication).
We request all potential participants to let us know
whether they intend to submit a paper to be considered
for this special issue. This does not represent a full
commitment to submit the paper, or even to attend
the workshop, but it will allow us to estimate an upper bound
on the number of papers to be processed.
We would appreciate if you send a message to optim@impa.br
announcing your intention to submit, preferably including a tentative
title of the paper, before January 31, 1999. If you do so,
you will receive in due time specific directions and
deadlines for submission.

Subject: Postdoctoral Position at Uppsala University
Postdoctoral Research Position
A postdoctoral research position is available at the Department
of Scientific Computing at Uppsala University in Sweden. This
is a one-year position with possible renewal for a second year.
The successful candidate should have a PhD, less
than three years old, a good background in numerical
analysis and scientific computing and is expected
to participate in a team developing accurate and
efficient computational methods for solution of the
Navier-Stokes equations. The equations are discretized with
finite difference or finite volume methods. For time-dependent
flows at high Reynolds numbers it is necessary to develop
schemes of high accuracy in curvilinear meshes using implicit
methods on parallel computers. Turbulent flow is modelled
or completely resolved on the mesh. Both incompressible
and compressible flows are considered.
The department has a number of on-going projects in
related areas such as adaptivity and also other areas of
application e.g. electromagnetics and acoustics. The
department has good computing facilities and access to
IBM SP2 and CRAY T3E computers in Sweden.
More information about the university and the department is
found at http://www.uu.se/index.eng.html and
http://www.tdb.uu.se/
Uppsala is a city with about 180000 inhabitants and
30000 students located 70 km north of Stockholm.
The position is available immediately. Interested applicants
should send curriculum vitae, names of three references and
a letter of application to:
Professor Per Lotstedt

Subject: Graduate Fellowships at Indiana University
The Department of Computer Science at Indiana University in
collaboration with the new School of Informatics is offering
Graduate Assistance in Areas of National Need (GAANN)
Fellowhips to outstanding applicants for graduate work.
A key focus area of research for potential GAANN fellows is
recommender systems for scientific computing. This work will apply
artificial intelligence and other methods to develop practical systems
that help scientists and engineers find, combine, and use software for
computational simulations. Particular topics in this area include
ontology systems for scientific sofware, tools for locating software
components and connecting them, expert and case-based systems for
guiding parameter selection in scientific software, and automatic
advice systems for resource location and management. Potential
projects will be developed jointly by the student and faculty in
cognitive sciences and computational sciences. The primary focus is
on the cognitive science research involved in such recommender systems
and the development of tools that work in practice.
Under the terms set by the Department of Education, GAANN fellowships
are restricted to US citizens and permanent residents. The
fellowships are especially targeted toward women and minorities
although all qualified students are encouraged to apply.
GAANN fellowships include a five year commitment of funding for twelve
months plus tuition and fees, and some supplemental funding for
professional expenses such as society memberships and conference
participation. During this five year period fellows are required to
participate in research that leads to a PhD degree and in some
instruction.
If you are interested in applying for a fellowship or for more
information, please contact Admissions Chair Prof. Michael Gasser
(gasser@cs.indiana.edu) by e-mail as soon as possible.

Subject: Research Positions at Brunel University
Postdoctoral Research Position
and
Research Studentship
BICOM, Institute of Computational Mathematics, Brunel University
Applications are invited for a three-year postdoctoral research position
and a CASE research studentship at BICOM to undertake research into the
Computational Modelling of Thermoforming and In-Mould Decoration Processes
In these processes thin polymeric sheets, on which patterns are printed, are
deformed into specific shapes. The research will involve the modelling
and numerical simulation of this (large) deformation of the sheets. Of
particular interest in the modelling, in addition to the prediction of the
thickness distribution of the deformed structures, is the prediction of the
distortion of the patterns.
The project, which is funded by EPSRC, will be undertaken in close
collaboration with the companies Autotype International Ltd and
John McGavigan Ltd.
Applicants for the Postdoctoral position should hold a doctorate, or
expect to obtain one in the near future, and should have a strong background
in the numerical analysis/computational solid mechanics area. Knowledge
of finite element methods would be particularly welcome. Good programming
skills are essential.
For the CASE studentship applicants should hold, or expect to obtain, a good
first degree or Masters degree in a subject with a high mathematical content.
