Subject: Version 2 of EIGIFP, A Program for Eigenvalue Computations
This is to announce that a new version of EIGIFP is available for
download now. EIGIFP is a MATLAB program to compute a few extreme
eigenvalues of the large matrix eigenvalue problems:
A x = lambda x or A x = lambda B x
where A, B are symmetric and B > 0. The program uses incomplete
factorizations to precondition an eigenvalue problem and is
particularly suitable for problems where factorization of B or
shift-and-invert is difficult. Some algorithmic improvements have
been included in this version. A documentation is also available
now. To download the program, please visit:

Subject: New Fortran Standard Coming Soon
A revision of the Fortran standard, to be known informally as Fortran
2003, is nearing publication. This is a substantial revision -- much
larger than the 1995 revision, but not as large as the 1990 revision.
John Reid has written an excellent summary of the changes, which is
available at ftp://ftp.nag.co.uk/sc22wg5/N1551-N1600/N1579.pdf or
ftp://ftp.nag.co.uk/sc22wg5/N1551-N1600/N1579.ps.gz (file sizes 101Kb
and 59Kb respectively)
The major additions are Object-Oriented Programming and Interoperability
with C, but N1579 is 38 pages, and its table of contents is more than
one page. Minor additions include procedure pointers, finalization of
derived-type objects, parameterized derived types, pointer rank remapping
(allows viewing one-dimensional arrays as higher-dimensional arrays),
enumerations, the ASSOCIATE construct (similar to Pascal's WITH),
transferring an allocation (generalization of the frequently-requested
reallocate capability), VOLATILE attribute, access to the command line
and environment variables, standard named constants for "*" input and
output units, access to message text for input/output and other errors,
access to features of the IEEE floating-point arithmetic standard, longer
names and statements, generalization of expressions for array dimensions
and initial values, user-defined derived-type input/output, asynchronous
input/output, and stream input/output -- and this list is not exhaustive.
Those interested to study the proposed standard in detail can find it
at http://webstore.ansi.org/ansidocstore/default.asp. Search for
1539-1 and get "ISO/IEC FCD 1539-1" (FCD means Final Committee Draft).
This publication is available at no cost. It is also available from
http://www.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/open/n3661.pdf (4.0Mb), and from
ftp://ftp.j3-fortran.org/j3/doc/standing/007/ in compressed pdf (2.2
MB), postscript (1.0 MB) and plain text (394 KB) formats.
A period of public comment has been announced concerning this document.
Comments about typographical errors, poor exposition, and inconsistencies
are especially welcome. Technical comments are allowed, but at this
stage in the process it is unlikely that substantial technical changes
will be undertaken, as this would delay publication for at least 18
months.
If commentors who are residents of the United States or who represent
U.S.-domiciled corporations wish their comments to be officially
registered they should ne sent to Deborah J. Spittle at dspittle _at_
itic.org and to PSA Dept. at psa _at _ansi.org no later than 15 December
2003.
Commentors in UK should send their comments to David Muxworthy at

please send comments to one of the published Fortran contact addresses.
It is more important that Fortran users worldwide make their views known
than they are prevented from doing so by bureaucracy.

The theme of this conference is methods and algorithms for reconstructing
images of a physical system or object from remotely-sensed data, in which
the data are incomplete (in the sense that they do not, by themselves,
allow a direct computation of a high-fidelity image). It is therefore
necessary to incorporate other information or constraints to obtain a
useful solution. The design of effective and efficient algorithms for
using the different kinds of available data and constraints to obtain a
solution is of primary importance in these kinds of problems. In many,
although not all, of these problems the data are related to a wavefield
that carries information concerning the object, i.e. they often involve
scattering or diffraction. Example technical areas include phase
retrieval, deconvolution, inverse scattering, regularization, and imaging
through turbulence. Example application areas include radar imaging,
medical imaging (ultrasonic, x-ray CT, MRI, optical diffusion and optical
coherence, etc.), laser imaging, optical and radio astronomy, microscopy,
crystallography, geophysical imaging (atmospheric profiling, ocean
acoustic, seismic, etc.), and signal design. The applications and methods
used are diverse, and we invite contributions from researchers in any
discipline who make use of these kind of techniques.
Topics may include, but are not limited to:
phase retrieval superresolution and deconvolution
image and system modeling and regularization
probabilistic and Bayesian methods for inverse problems
optimization methods for image recovery
matched filtering
sampling and aliasing
computationally efficient algorithms
wavefield propagation
radar and inverse scattering
imaging of, or through, turbulent, refracting, or highly scattering media
profile inversion
applications in remote sensing, medicine, biology, geophysics, etc.
For those who are interested, various real data sets are available for
evaluating inverse scattering and phase retrieval algorithms.

Subject: Fellowships in Nonlinear Systems at Cornell
The Cornell IGERT Program in Nonlinear Systems has received renewed
funding from the NSF. We anticipate awarding 8-12 two year fellowships
for students who will begin the Program in the Fall of 2004. Fellowship
stipends will be $27,500 for a twelve month period. NSF fellowship
support is restricted to US citizens or permanent residents.
The Nonlinear Systems Program is designed to foster research broadly
on nonlinear systems that combines theory, computation and empirical
data. Four thematic areas will be emphasized:
1. Complex Networks:
We are exploring such topics as the World Wide Web, populations with
hidden structure (e.g., the network of injection drug users in a major
city), the resilience of ecosystems composed of hundreds of interacting
species and mathematical patterns in the statistics of forest fires,
earthquakes, and blackouts.
2. Machines and Organisms - Locomotion and Manipulation:
We view organisms as part of a continuum of solutions to the mechanical
challenges of locomotion, flight and manipulation. Comparing and
contrasting moving machines and organisms enables us to understand
both better.
3. Biological Pattern Formation:
We are using theoretical models, novel visualization and data analysis
techniques to study the dynamics of spatially extended systems in terms
of defect structures and patterns such as scroll waves. We seek an
understanding of complex phenomena like cell migration and heart rhythm
disorders that involve a large number of dynamical degrees of freedom.
4. Gene Regulation and Systems Biology:
Through the use of theoretical models and large-scale computation, and
leveraging the enormous experimental investment by the biology
community,
we plan to develop biologically useful theories of large subsystems
of cellular function, specifically in the areas of gene regulation,
manufacture of RNA and proteins, and cell signaling.
Program requirements consist of two courses in nonlinear dynamics
and computational methods, a year-long interdisciplinary project,
participation in an IGERT seminar, a summer internship and completion
of a Ph.D. minor.
Applications are coordinated through participating graduate fields at
Cornell. Applicants should describe their interest in the IGERT program
as part of the statement of purpose in their Cornell graduate school
application. They should also complete the contact form on the web site
http://www.chaos.cornell.edu/

The Institute of Applied Research at the University of Applied Sciences
Konstanz invites applications for a research position in the project
'Parameter Set Estimation'. The project covers the rigorous estimation of
the parameters of some models, where data uncertainties are present. This
project is a joint project with the Institut de Recherche en Informatique
(IRIN) at the Universite de Nantes in France and funded by the German
Ministry of Education and Research and the French-German program PROCOPE.
We are looking for a candidate having at least an M. Sc. degree and a
background in interval computations. Also some knowledge in constrained
programming would be beneficial. Proficiency with programming in C/C++ and
a good command of the English or German language are highly desirable.
The position offers the opportunity to work towards a doctoral degree or
to achieve additional scientific qualifications. The appointment will be
for about 14 months. The salary will be commensurate (BAT IIa, the exact
amount is depending on age and personal status).
To apply, please send your CV, including publications via email as soon as
possible, preferably in PS or PDF format, to garloff@fh-konstanz.de.
