Activity Group Sessions at ICIAM 2019

We would like to encourage our members to consider organising a mini symposium at ICIAM 2019 in linear algebra (https://iciam2019.org/index.php/scientific-program/minisymposia). Minisymposia organised by SIAM Activity Groups can be listed in the ICIAM program with a tag identifying it with the group. All sessions need to be first submitted to ICIAM. Please also send the name of the minisymposia session and organizers to Jim Crowley at crowley@siam.org, and include in the subject line “ICIAM 2019 sessions” and the name of the Activity Group. Closing date for minisymposia is November 5, 2018.

Conference on Fast Direct Solvers

Purdue CCAM (Center for Computational & Applied Mathematics) is hosting the 2018 Conference on Fast Direct Solvers on Nov 9-11, 2018 (it will start from the afternoon of Fri, Nov 9). The purpose of the conference is to discuss and exchange ideas on topics related to fast direct solvers, structured matrices, sparsity and data sparsity, high performance direct solvers, randomized algorithms, structured preconditioning, fast PDE and IE solvers, related applications, and other relevant subjects. The organizers are Jie Shen and Jianlin Xia.

The following is a tentative list of invited speakers:

  • Eric Darve, Stanford University
  • Ming Gu, UC Berkeley
  • Daniel Kressner, EPFL, Switzerland
  • Sabine Le Borne, Hamburg University of Technology, Germany
  • Eric Michielssen, University of Michigan
  • Olaf Schenk, Universita della Svizzera italiana, Switzerland

Contributed talks are welcome. Please see the following webpage for more information:
