Special Issue on Combinatorial Scientific Computing of the
Electronic Transactions on Numerical Analysis (ETNA), Dedicated to
Professor Alan George
The SIAM Workshop on Combinatorial Scientific Computing (CSC04) is
being organized in San Francisco on Feb 27 and 28, 2004; the program
and schedule are available at the URL www.siam.org/meetings/pp04/cscworkshop.htm.
Concomitant with CSC04, a special issue of the Electronic Transactions
on Numerical Analysis (ETNA) will be devoted to combinatorial
scientific computing. Papers presented at CSC04 workshop as well as
other submissions
on the themes of CSC are welcome for submission to the special issue.
The special issue of ETNA is dedicated to Professor Alan George,
Professor of Computer Science and
Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Waterloo, on
the occasion of his 60th birthday,
to recognize the pioneering and fundamental contributions he has made
to CSC.
Relevant topics for the issue include, but are not limited to, the
following:
- Graph algorithms in sparse direct solvers and preconditioners for
sparse linear equations
- Graph algorithms in nonlinear equations, numerical optimization,
and automatic differentiation
- Combinatorial problems in parallel computing
- Combinatorial problems in enhancing the performance of irregular
computations
- Combinatorial problems in genomics and proteomics
- Combinatorial matrix theory relevant to scientific computing
- Combinatorial problems from novel applications in computational
science
- Geometric algorithms for meshing
All manuscripts should be submitted electronically to Prof. Suely
Oliveira at the email address given below,
and will be accepted until August 9, 2004 (new extended deadline). All
submissions will go
through the usual review process employed
by ETNA. Further information about ETNA and guidelines for the
submission format are available at http://etna.mcs.kent.edu.
The special issue is expected to appear in the Fall of 2004.
Editors for the special issue are:
