[TCPP-announce] WORKSHOP ANNOUNCEMENT: SIAM Workshop on Combinatorial Scientific Computing (CSC04)

SIAM Workshop on Combinatorial Scientific Computing (CSC04)
February 27-28, 2004
Hyatt at Fisherman's Wharf, San Francisco, CA
URL: www.siam.org/meetings/pp04/cscworkshop.htm

Combinatorial algorithms play a key supporting role in many aspects
of scientific computing.  Examples include orderings for sparse
direct methods, graph colorings and partitioning for parallel
computing, geometric algorithms in mesh generation and string
algorithms in computational biology.  The enabling importance of
combinatorial algorithms in scientific computing is often overlooked,
and subcommunities of researchers with overlapping interests are
often unaware of each other.  To address this fragmentation
and to strengthen the ties between the scientific computing and
discrete algorithms communities, SIAM is sponsoring a workshop
on Combinatorial Scientific Computing (CSC04).

CSC04 will be organized following the 11th SIAM Conference on Parallel
Processing for Scientific Computing (PP04) on February 27 and 28, 2004.
The workshop aims to bring together researchers interested in applications of
combinatorial mathematics and algorithms to scientific computing.

Invited speakers include Richard Brualdi (Wisconsin),
Shang-hua Teng (Boston and Akamai), and Dan Gusfield (UC Davis).
Contributed presentations in lecture format are invited in all areas
consistent with the workshop themes.
A 2-page extended abstract, in PDF format,
of a proposed talk should be submitted to  Sivan Toledo,
[EMAIL PROTECTED], by electronic mail before October 31, 2003.
Authors will be notified of acceptance by e-mail
on or before November 30, 2003.
Funds have been requested to provide partial travel support
for graduate students, post-doctoral fellows,
and faculty in the early stages of their careers.
