The 7th Workshop on High-Dimensional Approximation

The 7th Workshop on High-Dimensional Approximation will be held at UNSW in Sydney, Australia, on February 13–17, 2017. See the website

http://www.hda2017.unsw.edu.au

The High-Dimensional Approximation (HDA) Workshop is a series of biennial international meetings covering current research on all numerical aspects of high-dimensional problems. This seventh workshop will be held at UNSW in Sydney (HDA2017), with participants again welcomed from all around the world.

The scope of the seventh workshop ranges from high-dimensional approximation theory over computational methods to engineering and scientific applications. Topics include, but are not limited to,

  • Sparse grid methods
  • Quasi-Monte Carlo methods
  • Tensor decompositions
  • Polynomial chaos expansions
  • Sparse approximations
  • Reduced basis methods
  • Multi-level methods
  • Bayesian inversion
  • Uncertainty quantification

Participation is open to all interested in high-dimensional computational mathematics and science.

A key feature of this workshop is that there are no parallel sessions and generally all talks will be of equal length. Participants are welcome to present work in progress and there will be time set aside for informal discussions. The number of talks will be limited. It is not essential that everyone gives a talk. Collaborators are encouraged to coordinate and elect a representative to present joint work.

In this workshop we will honour and celebrate the 65th birthday of Professor Markus Hegland. Markus is a founding member of the HDA workshop series. He is also a well respected leader in computational mathematics and optimization in Australia. We hope to take this opportunity to engage the HDA global community with other computational mathematics groups in Australia.

To assist us with planning, please go to the website at your earliest convenience to register especially if you are interested in giving a talk. Travel, visa and accommodation information is already available. More information about registration fee payment and abstract submission will be available on the website later in the year.

We look forward to welcoming you in Sydney!

AustMS Special Session – Computational Mathematics (First Call)

Dear Colleagues,

The 60th annual meeting of the Australian Mathematical Society will be held by the Mathematical Sciences Institute at the Australian National University from the 5–8 December 2016. A website for the conference is available at:

http://maths.anu.edu.au/events/austms-meeting-2016

It is our great pleasure to invite you to participate in the special session “Computational Mathematics” and hope that you will agree to present a 20-minutes’ talk. The focus of this special session will be on numerical analysis and approximation theory and includes numerical techniques for partial differential equations, inverse problems and regularisation and parallel numerical algorithms.

This year it will be 10 years since the joint minisymposium on computational mathematics and optimisation (Macquarie University 2006) and one year since the establishment of the AustMS special interest group in mathematics of computation and optimisation (MoCaO). Corresponding to the two core focus areas of MoCaO we do have two special sessions as we did since 2007:

* Mathematics of Computation: special session in Computational Mathematics
* Mathematics of Optimisation: special session in Mathematical and Computational Optimisation

We encourage members of MoCaO to participate in these two sessions! AMSI support for student members is available, see
http://research.amsi.org.au/travel-funding/

For more information about MoCaO see
https://mocao.mathsig.org

Best regards, and looking forward to meeting you at our special session

The Computational Techniques and Applications Conference (CTAC) 2016

The Computational Techniques and Applications Conference (CTAC) 2016 will be held at Monash University, Caulfield Campus from the 27-30 November 2016. Our aim is to conduct a high quality conference on computational mathematics; scientific, technical, and industrial applications; and high performance computing.

The plenary speakers for CTAC16 will be:
Bernd Brugmann, Theoretical Physics Institute, University of Jena
Regina Burachik, University of South Australia
Alys Clark, University of Auckland
Josef Dick, University of New South Wales
Bishnu Lamichhane, University of Newcastle
Scott MacLachlan, Memorial University of Newfoundland
Bijan Mohammadi, University of Montpelier
Murray Rudman, Monash University

CTAC is organised by the special interest group in computational techniques and applications of ANZIAM, the Australian and New Zealand Industrial and Applied Mathematics Division of the Australian Mathematical Society. The meetings provide an interactive forum for researchers interested in the development and use of computational methods applied to engineering, scientific and other problems. The CTAC meetings have been taking place biennially since 1981, the most recent being held in 2014 at the Mathematical Sciences Institute at the Australian National University.

EUROPT 2016 Workshop on Advances in Continuous Optimization

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the 14th EUROPT Workshop on Advances in Continuous Optimization organized by Institute of Control and Computation Engineering at Warsaw University of Technology, Poland., July 1­2, 2016 Warsaw. http://www.europt2016.ia.pw.edu.pl/

EUROPT2016 is the annual event of the EUROPT continuous optimization working group of EURO (The Association of European Operational Research Societies). This is the 14th such workshop and is held in collaboration with the 28th annual EURO conference to be held in Poznań on July 3­6 2016

Talks should be related to continuous optimization theory, algorithms, software or applications.

Plenary speakers confirmed:

Andreas Griewank, Humboldt University, Berlin, Gremany
Jiri Outrata, Institute of Information Theory and Automation, Czech Academy of Sciences, Prague, Czech Republic
Anatoly Zhigljavsky, Cardiff University, Cardiff, UK

Call for Abstracts (max two pages):

Abstracts submission is opened since February 1, 2016. Please sign up at https://www.euro-online.org/conf/europt2016/ to create your EURO account and submit your abstract. All accepted abstracts will be included in the Book of Abstracts. Please be reminded that the that the Deadline for Abstracts Submission is March 15, 2016.

Selected papers presented at EUROPT2016 will be considered for peer­reviewed publication in a special issue of Mathematical Methods of Operations Research.

Registration will open in due course, with the fees having been set as EUR 200 (Standard) and EUR 150 (PhD students) before May 15 2016.

Afterwards the respective fees will be EUR 270 and EUR 200.
