Subject: New Book, Large-Scale Networks in Engineering and Life Sciences

This edited volume from Birkhäuser’s series in Modeling and Simulation
in Science, Engineering and Technology, provides insights into and
tools for the modeling, analysis, optimization, and control of
large-scale networks in the life sciences and in engineering. The
chapters of this book present the basic concepts and theoretical
foundations of network theory and discuss its applications in
different scientific areas such as biochemical reactions, chemical
production processes, systems biology, electrical circuits, and mobile
agents. The aim is to identify common concepts, to understand the
underlying mathematical ideas, and to inspire discussions across the
borders of the various disciplines. It is a concise introduction to
the geometric theory of ODEs with applications in (bio-) chemical
reaction networks and the chemical separation processes. The book
consists of up-to-date introduction to the modern concepts for
network-/graph-based mathematical modeling in system biology.

The book originates from the interdisciplinary summer school “Large
Scale Networks in Engineering and Life Sciences” hosted by the
International Max Planck Research School Magdeburg, September 26- 30,
2011, and will therefore be of interest to mathematicians, engineers,
physicists, biologists, chemists, and anyone involved in the network
sciences.

Subject: Mathematics of Lattices and Cybersecurity, USA, Apr 2015

Topical Workshop: Mathematics of Lattices and Cybersecurity
(April 21-24, 2015)
Providence, RI

Lattices are abstractly very simple objects, yet their concrete
realizations contain beautifully intricate problems that are
stubbornly difficult even in low dimensions. For example, our present
day understandings of densest lattice packings and reduction theory
are still plagued with large gaps.

In the 1970's and 1980's lattices entered the world of cryptography as
tools used to break certain crypto systems, particularly those based
on the subset sum problem, and since the 1990's they have become
increasingly important in the building of other types of crypto
systems (thanks to the difficulty in the underlying
mathematics). Their significance has recently been bolstered by
average-case complexity bounds and their present resistance to quantum
computing attacks.

Currently the theory of lattices is a lively research topic among
mathematicians, computer scientists, and experts in cybersecurity.
However, to this date, there has been little to no interaction between
these communities. The goal of this workshop is to stimulate activity
between these different groups interested in lattice problems. Topics
to be covered include, but are not restricted to, recent results on
densest lattice packings, the geometry of lattice moduli space and its
connections with automorphic forms and algebraic number theory,
cryptographic applications of lattices, and the state of the art of
lattice reduction in high dimensions.

Computational and Analytical Aspects of Image Reconstruction
(July 13-17, 2015)
Providence, RI

To apply: http://icerm.brown.edu/topical_workshops/tw15-2-caair/

The mathematical study of image reconstruction problems can have a
huge impact on human life. More efficient mathematical algorithms for
X- ray tomography and more accurate mathematical models in seismic or
hybrid imaging can lead to better imaging devices in fields such as
medicine and remote sensing. Developing the underlying mathematics,
including the analysis of reconstruction stability, regularization,
singularity characterization, and efficient algorithms, may lead to
fewer false positives in fields such as medical, seismic and radar
imaging.

This topical workshop will bring together international experts
working in computational and analytical aspects of image
reconstruction (including but not limited to electron-microscope
tomography, hybrid imaging, radar and sonar, full waveform inversion
of seismic imaging and X-ray CT) as well as postdoctoral fellows and
graduate students. There will be multiple introductory-level talks for
early-career researchers and non-specialists in the area on both the
mathematics involved and the scientific and industrial
applications. Speakers and participants from industry will be included
to strengthen the practical aspects of the workshop.

Post-grad ASI in Mathematical and Physical Sciences: Modelling,
Numerical Analysis and Applications (CGPW01), 13 – 24 July 2015, Isaac
Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences, University of Cambridge

Cellular migration depicts one of the most vital processes for complex
life formation and is a major origin for devastating diseases upon
malfunction. While hundreds of different migratory relevant molecules
have been identified over the past decades, underlying mechanisms for
cell migration including cell morphology and protein complex formation
are only insufficiently understood and rarely rendered into
mathematical models using theoretical as well as numerical methods. In
order to accomplish these important scientific needs we will develop
new 2D and 3D mathematical models for cell migration driven by
experimental observations. At the same time, theoretical predictions
can result in the development of completely new theories allowing new
experimental approaches as well as hypothetical testing and validation
in experimental laboratories. In order to achieve some of these goals,
this two-week workshop aims to bring together internationally renowned
mathematicians, theoretical and experimental physicists as well as
biologists to deliver topical and in-depth cross-interdisciplinary
lectures fundamental to understanding of underlying the spatiotemporal
processes associated with cell migration and pattern formation as well
as the potential of modelling-based approaches. Keynote speakers will
include world-leading experts in modeling and numerical methods and
the most relevant aspects in cell migration and pattern formation from
diverse areas such as mathematics, theoretical and experimental
physics, and biology. All aspects will be presented by theoreticians
and experimentalists and will facilitate deep discussions among
participants in order to evolve and develop key research questions
solvable through modeling and simulations in a joint effort. Research
groups will be developed to tackle specific research questions
designed and presented through the lectures and seminars and these
will form the basis for short-, medium- and long-term research
collaborations during the 6 month period. The workshop will take place
at the Isaac Newton Institute, Cambridge, UK.

Numerical Methods for Large-Scale Nonlinear Problems and their
Applications
(August 31 - September 4, 2015)
Providence, RI

To apply: http://icerm.brown.edu/topical_workshops/tw15-5-nmlnp/

Over the last 20 years or so, Newton-Krylov methods have developed to
maturity, allowing effective fully-coupled treatment of a broad range
of large-scale nonlinear problems. This development has set the stage
for addressing more difficult problems with more challenging features.
Additionally, applications for which state-of-the-art Newton-Krylov
approaches are inapplicable have recently exposed several basic
research questions. At the same time, there remain many
problem-specific methods and legacy codes that are still useful and
can be regarded as a resource for further development.

This workshop will include mathematicians and computer scientists who
work on algorithm design, implementation, and analysis, together with
disciplinary scientists and engineers who use the algorithms in
applications and have a working knowledge of their capabilities,
weaknesses, and limitations. The major foci of the workshop will be
acceleration methods, in particular Anderson acceleration; methods for
nonlinear problems that have significant stochastic aspects; methods
for nonsmooth problems; and various techniques for improving
robustness, such as nonlinear preconditioning.
