The meeting will highlight the role of mathematics and computation in the areas of control of large systems, environmental modeling, multi-disciplinary design optimization, and biology and chemistry. The meeting will also emphasize the role of numerical algorithms and software in computational science and engineering. The ever-increasing role of computation in these fields has led many institutions to install interdisciplinary degree programs that focus on computational science. Flows John B. Bell, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Minisymposia Minisymposia are sessions consisting of four presentations on a single topic that is consistent with the meeting themes. SIAM short courses provide introductions to a timely topic in mathematics, scientific computing and their applications.
Short courses are typically one- day long, and are designed to complement one of the meeting themes.
Proposals are due by April 14, 1995. Poster Format A lecture consists of a 12-minute presentation with an additional three minutes for discussion. A poster session is two hours long. Each contributor must submit a brief abstract not exceeding seventy-five words on a SIAM abstract form. Minisymposia A minisymposium consists of four 25-minute presentations with an additional five minutes for discussion.
