Industrial and Applied Mathematics - ICIAM 2011 (Vancouver, July 18 -
22, 2011; www.iciam2011.com), if you haven't already registered, we
encourage you to do so now ! Discounted advance online registration is
open until June 15 at this website: http://bit.ly/gPYJTN .
Are you wondering what to expect at ICIAM 2011? Here are a several
highlights:
Over 20 thematic minisymposia, each with a Lead Lecture followed by six
session speakers, cover a wide range of subjects ranging from molecular
simulation to materials science.
John Bell (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, USA) will highlight
the Scientific Computing panel with his talk, Low Mach Number Models in
Computational Astrophysics (details here: http://bit.ly/iX6J89), which
will demonstrate the role of low Mach number flows in various
astrophysical problems ranging from X-ray bursts to convection in
massive stars.
The Mathematical Biology theme will showcase intriguing topics that run
the gamut from the neuromechanics of insect movement to the synchronized
reproduction of trees in forests. Mark Lewis (University of Alberta,
Canada) will describe the role of parabolic PDEs and integral
formulations in tracking wave fronts of expanding populations in his
talk, New Challenges in Modelling Biological Invasions (details here:
http://bit.ly/mNhe6l) .
In the invited lecture, Our "Second Brain": Modelling Its Development
and Disease (details here: http://bit.ly/mNqZa4), Kerry Landman
(University of Melbourne, Australia) will elucidate on insights provided
by continuum and discrete modeling to the embryonic development of our
enteric nervous system and conditions that result in the failure of this
normal process.
The thematic minisymposium on Mathematics of Cancer (details here:
http://bit.ly/iiTcY5), organized by Mark Chaplain (University of Dundee,
United Kingdom), will detail multiscale mathematical models describing
important processes in the growth and spread of cancer, in addition to
implications for treatments and therapies.
The two panels on Mathematical Programming and Industrial Applications
will describe modelling approaches for mathematical programs. Michael
Ferris (University of Wisconsin, USA) will analyze existing
relationships that make up mathematical models in order to create an
extended mathematical program in Extended Mathematical Programming:
Competition and Stochasticity (details here: http://bit.ly/kd43ad).
Complexity-based techniques developed for convex optimization in the
context of very large scale problems will be discussed in the invited
lecture, Complexity Based Methods for Convex Optimization (details here:
http://bit.ly/luuDRb) by Clovis Gonzaga (Universidade Federal de Santa
Catarina, Brazil).
In the panel on Risk, Alexander McNeil (Heriot-Watt University, United
Kingdom) will tackle the very timely subject of financial regulation
through his talk, Modelling Capital Adequacy and Solvency (details here:
http://bit.ly/iPg7cT). McNeill will discuss risk models for interest
rates, equities, credit and other risk factors.
For those interested in the subject, the industrial thematic
minisyposium on Risk and Finance (details here: http://bit.ly/e4Opbe)
organized by Rama Cont (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique,
France) should also be of value.
Look up the full program (click here: http://bit.ly/gWWrGk) to browse a
complete list of topics for thematic minisymposia
(http://bit.ly/cBHdGk). We will be sampling the program over the next
few issues to illustrate some of the other areas that will be covered.
You can also search for speakers via the speaker index
(http://bit.ly/kK91d5), and browse sessions by topic area
(http://bit.ly/gWWrGk).
Official ICIAM hotels (http://bit.ly/dVzb32) are booking quickly. To
avoid disappointment, we suggest you secure your reservation soon.
We look forward to seeing you at ICIAM 2011!
Best wishes,
