Subject: NetSolve Version 1.1 is Now Available
NetSolve version 1.1 is now available from the NetSolve homepage
at http://www.cs.utk.edu/netsolve/
What's NetSolve?
NetSolve is a network enabled computing paradigm that is based upon
a combination of client-server strategies, machine-independent entities,
lightweight and flexible problem mapping, and load balancing schemes.
NetSolve enables users to solve complex scientific problem remotely.
The system allows users to access both hardware and software resources
distributed across a network. Through a call in Fortran, C,
Matlab, or Java a user invokes NetSolve to solve a problem. NetSolve
searches for computational resources (both hardware and software) that
it has access to, chooses the best one available for the task,
solves the problem, and returns the solution to the user. A load-balancing
policy is used by the NetSolve system to ensure good performance by
enabling the system to use the computational resources available as
efficiently as possible and fault-tolerance is maintained by a retry
mechanism in the event of a failure. The system has been designed to
incorporate any callable routine with relative ease. Users of the system
can invoke the NetSolve resource, contribute hardware to the NetSolve
collection of servers, and/or add problem solving capabilities to the system.
What's new in NetSolve version 1.1?
- A complete Users' Guide (client & server),
- A Java API with examples,
- Java code in now Java 1.1 compliant,
- The Matlab interface is available for Matlab 4 and Matlab 5,
- The C and Fortran interface support column- and row-wise matrices,
- A new data type (BYTE) requested by users,
- An interface to the Condor system from U of Wisconsin,
- Additional default servers at the University of Tennessee,
- Plus many new features that are all described in the Users' Guide.
Thanks for all your feedback, bug reports, and suggestions.
We would be delighted to hear of your potential applications using NetSolve
at your site. Feel free to contact us for further assistance.
Thanks again

***PENDING FINAL APPROVAL***
Over the past nine years, the Association for Women in Mathematics
has held a series of workshops for women graduate students and
recent Ph.D's (referred to as "postdocs" below) in conjunction with
major mathematics meetings.
WHEN: The NEXT WORKSHOP in the series will be held in conjunction
with the 1998 SIAM Annual Meeting (July 13-17, 1998) and the 9th SIAM
Conference on Discrete Mathematics (July 12-15, 1998) at the University
of Toronto, Toronto, Canada. This workshop will be held on Monday,
July 13th and Tuesday, July 14th, with an introductory group
discussion and dinner on Sunday, July 12th.
WORKSHOP: The workshop will consist of a poster session by graduate
students, four minisymposia, a group discussion on careers,
and a dinner with a keynote speaker. The graduate student poster
sessions include all areas of research in applied mathematics. Each
minisymposium will have a definite focus. The first minisymposium
will include four career oriented talks. The three remaining
minisymposia will focus on the research areas of Mathematical
Biology, Discrete Math/Optimization, and PDEs and Applications.
Applications for funding must be received by AWM by March 1, 1998.
Selected graduate students participants will present their research
in a poster session. Selected postdocs (those within five years of
their Ph.D.) will speak in one of the three AWM research
minisymposia. AWM will offer funding for travel and 2-days
subsistence for up to 20 participants. Departments are urged to
help graduate students and postdocs obtain some supplementary
institutional support to attend the Workshop and the associated
meeting. All mathematicians (female and male) are invited to
attend the entire program.
DISCUSSION GROUP LEADERS: We also seek volunteers to lead
discussion groups and to act as mentors for workshop participants.
If you are interested in volunteering, please contact the AWM
office.
ELIGIBILITY: To be eligible for funding, GRADUATE STUDENTS must have
begun work on a thesis problem. Applications should include a cover
letter, an summary of their work (1-2 pages), a title of the proposed
poster, a curriculum vitae, and a supporting letter of recommendation
from a faculty member or research mathematician. Applications from
POSTDOCS should include a cover letter, a title and abstract (75
words or less) of the talk (to be given if accepted), summary of
their work (1-2 pages), curriculum vitae, and may also include a
letter of recommendation. Letters of support are encouraged. The
word "POSTDOC" refers to any mathematician who has received her Ph.D.
within the last five years, whether or not she currently holds a
postdoctoral or other academic position. All funded participants are
invited and strongly encouraged to attend the full AWM two-day program.
All non-U.S. citizens applicants must have a current U.S. address.
