Sparse Days
CERFACS, Toulouse, France, September 7-8, 2017.
The annual Sparse Days meeting will be held at CERFACS in Toulouse on 7th and 8th September 2017 although (see below) it might be extended to start on 6th September.
Registration is free but we ask people who are coming to register now so we can judge numbers to see whether the extra day is needed and how large a lecture room we will need. The reason for this is that much preliminary interest has been shown because the meeting will inter alia celebrate a significant birthday of Professor Iain Duff, who was Project Leader of the Parallel Algorithms Team from its inception in 1987 until 2010 and is still a consultant to the Team.
You should register before July 16th by completing the online form: http://cerfacs.fr/en/sparse-days-2017-at-cerfacs/ (English), or http://cerfacs.fr/colloque-sparse-days-2017-cerfacs/ (French) indicating whether you want to give a talk. We will not have any parallel sessions hence the need to know this when planning the schedule. Although an emphasis will be on parallel aspects, any talk that has an association with sparsity is welcome. The length for a talk plus questions is 30 minutes.
Information on accommodation can be found on the web page and a limited amount of free on site accommodation should be available for students. Students wanting to apply for this accommodation should contact Brigitte Yzel on [email protected].
A celebratory conference dinner will be held on Thursday September 7th that will hopefully be heavily subsidised, especially for students.
