Subject: Eduardo Sontag Wins SIAM Reid Prize
SIAM has announced that its 2001 W.T. and Idalia Reid Prize in
Mathematics will be awarded to Professor Eduardo Sontag of Rutgers
University. The prize is awarded for research in, or other
contributions to, the broadly defined areas of differential equations
and control theory. The selection committee (comprised of John A.
Burns as chair, Ruth F. Curtain, James G. Glimm, and John
Guckenheimer) cited Sontag's many contributions to nonlinear control theory.
Professor Sontag will receive the Reid Medal and a $10,000 cash award
at the SIAM Annual Meeting in San Diego in July. Sontag will deliver
the Reid lecture on Wednesday, July 11, at 5:20 p.m. in the Town and
Country Room of the Town and Country Resort Hotel. The title of his
talk will be "The central themes of systems and control theory, and
their role in postgenomic molecular biology."
The prize is named for William T. and Idalia Reid, William T. having
been a renowned mathematics professor at the University of Chicago,
Northwestern University, University of Iowa, and University of
Oklahoma. Previous Reid Prize recipients are Wendell H. Fleming, Roger
W. Brockett, Constantine M. Dafermos, and the late Jacques-Louis Lions.

Subject: Numerical Analysis Job Listings on the Internet
Does anyone have recommendations for internet sites that have job
listings for graduating students who are looking for work related to
numerical analysis or applied mathematics? Sites that include listings
for students with bachelors and masters degrees are of interest.
I will try to share the responses that I get, if there is enough
interest.

areas of scientific computing. New problems have appeared in
computational physics, chemistry, engineering, and economics. There
is constantly a need in these fields for the advancement of information
exchange. In the midst of many specialized annual conferences there
is a niche left for a unifying, cross-cutting, inter-disciplinary
gathering where specialists can have exposure to others' fields, yet
participate in special sessions at the cutting edge of their own
interests as well as sessions with a different point of view.

Original research papers are sought for a special issue focussing on
industrial applications of scientific computation expected to
appear in April, 2002. Submitted papers must address a problem with an
industrial source.
A common experience proves that computational methods originally
developed in a given basic/applied science can be of
considerable importance to other sciences as well as to engineering or
technology. This beneficial practice of cross fertilization
will be continuously and systematically endorsed by the JCMSE.
IMPORTANT DATES
Submission deadline: September 1, 2001.
Expected date for notification of acceptance: October 31, 2001.
Areas of the JCMSE include: Numerical Analysis, Scientific Computation,
Computational Mathematics, Computational
Physics, Computational Chemistry, Computational Biology, Computational
Methods in Medicine, Computational Mechanics,
Computational Fluid Dynamics, Computational Methods in Engineering ,
Computational Economics
This special issue will concentrate on industrial applications of the
aforementioned areas of research.
Three types of publications will be appeared in the special issue:
Letters to the Editor, Regular papers, Review papers
An efficient peer-review procedure is implemented through expertise of
at least two independent Referees.

The ACM International Conference on Supercomputing is a forum for
engineers and scientists throughout the world to exchange ideas and
research results relating to high performance, distributed, and
supercomputing systems.
This is the 15th Conference in the series and will be held at the
Sorrento Palace Hotel located in Sorrento, Naples, Italy from June
16th to 21st. The 16 and 17 are reserved respectively for Tutorials
and Workshops, while the Conference technical sessions will start on
June 18th.
It is the first time that the ACM ICS Conference will take place
in Italy.
Workshops and Tutorials will be held in conjunction with the ICS01
Conference.
Among other tutorials, the tutorial on

by Jerzy Wasniewski from UNI-C
Danish IT Center for Education and Research, Denmark
jerzy.wasniewski@uni-c.dk
http://lawra.uni-c.dk/JerzyWasniewski/
We give a very brief overview of the Algorithms and Architecture
Approach as a means to produce high performance Dense Linear Algebra
Algorithms. The key idea that we develop is blocking for today's
deep memory hierarchies.
We describe new data structures for full and packed storage of
dense symmetric/triangular arrays that generalize both. Using the
new data structures one is led to several new algorithms that save
``half'' the storage and outperform the current blocked based level
3 algorithms in LAPACK.
Performance results for various dense linear algebra algorithms
will be presented for several different computers.
More informations are available on the Web.
