Subject: Babuska Prizes Awarded

1996 BABUSKA PRIZES AWARDED

In December 1996, the Czech Association for Mechanics and the Union of
Czech Mathematicians and Physicists again awarded the I. Babuska Prize
for the best work in computer science submitted by students and young
scientists.

The Prize winner for 1996 is Dr Petr Knobloch. The work honored was his
PhD thesis Solvability and finite element discretization of a
mathematical model related to Czochralski crystal growth defended at the
Otto-von-Guericke Universitaet Magdeburg in Germany.

Further winners on the second and third places who were delivered
diplomas of honor were Dr Miroslav Rozloznik from the Institute of
Computer Science of the Academy of Sciences in Prague with his PhD
thesis Numerical stability of the GMRES method nad Dr Tomas Vampola from
the Faculty of Machine Engineering of the Czech Technical University in
Prague with his PhD thesis Efficient algorithm for the assembly of
equations of motion for a system of many bodies considering the
yielding.

The fourth position was taken by Pavel Solin from the Faculty of
Mathematics and Physics of the Charles University in Prague with his
diploma work Three-dimensional Euler equations and their numerical
solution.

The prize as well as the diplomas will be awarded every year and they
are connected with a financial support.

The prize was established in 1994 by an outstanding Czech mathematician
Ivo Babuska. He was born in Prague in 1926 and after graduating from the
Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague
he started his work in the Mathematical Institute of the Academy of
Sciences. He was appointed professor in Prague in 1968 and since fall
1968 he has been working in the United States. Since 1995 he works at
the Texas Institute for Computational and Applied Mathematics,
University of Texas, Austin, TX.

His scientific work is focused on numerical and applied mathematics and
computational mechanics, and their use in practice. His results in the
finite element method belong to the fundamentals of the method. He is
the author of several monographs and has initiated several famous
scientific meetings both in Europe and the United States. He established
the journal Applications of Mathematics (formerly Aplikace matematiky)
in 1956. Last year he was awarded the Bernard Bolzano Medal by the
Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic. The world mathematical
community remembered the 70th birthdays of Prof. Ivo Babuska, and also
Prof. Miroslav Fiedler, Prof. Jaroslav Kurzweil and Prof. Vlastimil Ptak
at the Prague Mathematical Conference in Prague in July 1996.

Subject: A 3D Tracking Problem

Suppose we have K-landmarks (K > 2) on a rigid-body which is moving
through space. We measure the 3D coordinates of each of these
landmarks at times t = 1,2,...M. The measurements give us noisy 3D
trajectories for each of these landmarks at M-points.

Problem: Find smoothed trajectories for all landmarks if the distances
between the landmarks are unchanged when: 1) the distances are known
precisely, and 2) the distances are unknown.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Subject: Program for Convex Hull Sought

I like to get information about publicly available programs (preferably in
MATLAB) for finding the convex hull of a set of points in an n-dimensional
space. (The points are symmetric with respect to origin.)

The ability of the software to analyze and modify the convex hull to include
a new point (or set) is of special interest.

Thanks

WORKSHOP ON
SOLVING COMBINATORIAL OPTIMIZATION PROBLEMS IN PARALLEL
--- SCOOP ---

April 5, 1997 - Geneva, Switzerland
To be held in conjunction with IPPS'97

Deadline for submission: January 10, 1997
(http://www.ens-lyon.fr/LIP/SCOOP)

The solution of optimization problems in real world applications
usually involves an enormous amount of work in which the use of
parallel computers may be of great value. Through parallel computing,
not only problems may be solved faster, but also large-sized problems
may become tractable.

The SCOOP workshop is aimed to bring together experts in the field of
parallel combinatorial computing. It will address both exact and
approximate methods for scientific and practical hard optimization
problems. The workshop will be the final meeting of the Human Capital
and Mobility project SCOOP of the European Union. It will be held on
the last day of the IPPS symposium (April 1--5, 1997), in Geneva,
Switzerland.

The program will consist of a key-note lecture, and a number of short
(25 minute) contributed presentations.

The key-note lecture will be the following.

General Description:

Euro-Par is the annual European conference in Parallel Processing. Like
the 1996 conference in Lyon, the 1997 version will consist of a number
of highly focussed workshops on all aspects of parallel processing,
from theory to practice, from academy to industry. The workshops will
present the latest advances in their respective domains. In addition,
there will be a number of high-level tutorials of general interest plus
a series of invited talks. Calls for papers for 20 workshops are being
launched. All accepted papers will appear in the proceedings published
by Springer-Verlag in the LNCS Series.

Workshop Description:

Workshop #08: Parallel Discrete Algorithms

The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum for advances
in the state of the art in parallel discrete algorithms. Parallel
algorithms from all discrete areas are appropriate, including discrete
optimization (for both specific problems and more generic methods such
as parallel search), pattern recognition and image processing,
discrete simulation, computational geometry, and graph theory.
Special consideration will be given to scalable, practical algorithms.
Algorithmic strategies for abstract parallel models such as
LogP, BSP, or PRAMs are encouraged, as well as algorithmic tuning for
specific architectures, and experimental analysis which provides
insight into algorithmic choice. There is a strong relation to workshop
#13, but we focus on specific algorithms rather than on models and methods.

Topics of interest include:
* discrete optimization
* graph algorithms
* computational geometry
* discrete simulation methods
* comparative experimental analysis

processes and systems, and be a good communicator and team worker.

The Computational Science Laboratory is a group of highly skilled
mathematicians and scientists working with other scientists and
engineers to model problems of interest to the business of the Eastman
Kodak Company. The scope of interaction is company-wide with
opportunity for project work in virtually any application field.
Principal efforts at the moment are in fundamental understanding of
silver halide materials; light scattering in complex media; diffusion
of reacting species in complex, random systems; and others.

Qualified candidates should send CV to:
