participants welcome the future involvement of colleagues
throughout the world in this center. They also invite
participation in the April, 2004, conference event. Contributed
papers (30 minute talks) and poster presentations are welcome.
Some funding is available for postdocs and graduate students who
make presentations.
Conference participants can register at the conference site
at http://www.iprpi.rpi.edu. Questions about the technical
program can be directed to IPRPI Director, Joyce McLaughlin

Sparse Days at CERFACS
After much deliberation, we have chosen Wednesday/Thursday June 2/3 for the
sparse days at CERFACS. There is no particular theme for this meeting
although least squares and data assimilation are among the new current
interests at CERFACS.
I will post further information on this meeting shortly but I know that
several of you were keen to know which days we were holding this to
arrange your summer travels.
Best wishes

Subject: Workshop in Palo Alto on Tensor Decompositions
Tensor decompositions
July 19 to July 23, 2004
American Institute of Mathematics Research Conference Center
Palo Alto, California
http://aimath.org/ARCC/workshops/tensordecomp.html
Description:
This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will consider mathematical
problems of tensor decomposition. Though higher-order tensor (also
known as multidimensional, multi-way, or n-way array) decompositions
have been around for more than three decades, the door is now
opening on greater mathematical understanding and new applications.
This workshop will bring together specialists in scientific computing,
linear algebra, and applications, with a goal of developing the
theoretical and computational tools necessary to tackle larger
problems and new applications.
The workshop is organized by
Gene H. Golub, Tamara G. Kolda, James G. Nagy, and Charles F. Van Loan.
For more details please see the workshop announcement page:
http://aimath.org/ARCC/workshops/tensordecomp.html
Space and funding is available for a few more participants.
If you would like to participate, please apply by filling
out the on-line form (available at the link above) no later
than April 19, 2004. Applications are open to all, and
we especially encourage women, underrepresented minorities,
junior mathematicians, and researchers from primarily
undergraduate institutions to apply.
Before submitting an application, please read the ARCC
policies concerning participation and financial support
for participants.
AIM Research Conference Center (ARCC):
The AIM Research Conference Center (ARCC) hosts focused
workshops in all areas of the mathematical sciences. ARCC
focused workshops are distinguished by their emphasis on
a specific mathematical goal, such as making progress on a
significant unsolved problem, understanding the proof of an
important new result, or investigating the convergence between
two distinct areas of mathematics.

Subject: Summer Interships at IBM, Poughkeepsie
IBM's ESSL Development Team based in Poughkeepsie, New York is looking for
4 interns for a summer assignment to assist in the development of Linear
Algebra and Fourier Transform subroutines for the Engineering and
Scientific Subroutine Library (ESSL). ESSL is IBM's mathematics library (
http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/pseries/library/sp_books/essl.html).
As a member of our team based internship program called IBM Speed Teams,
you'll work on a small team with other bright and talented people who
demonstrate desire and passion for what they do. Working at IBM provides
opportunities you may not experience anywhere else. It gives you the chance
to change the way the world works, to help the world learn, to make
education more available, knowledge more attainable and information more
accessible.
Ideal candidates will have majors in Mathematics, Computational Sciences,
or Scientific Computing. Please forward resumes to Rita S. Bowden,
rbowden@us.ibm.com noting that you are interested in the ESSL Speed Team.
