The purpose of this conference is to bring together academic and industrial researchers from all over the world (10 countries were represented in 2003) so that they can exchange ideas concerning the physical and numerical modeling of multiphase flows, with an emphasis on real problems of industrial nature. More information on this event as well as on the Call for Papers can be found at http://www.mathappl.polymtl.ca/cargese2005/. We would appreciate if you could forward this email to anyone who may be interested by this conference. Best regards, Prof. F.

Dufour Conference Vice-Chair Department of Mathematics and Industrial Engineering Ecole Polytechnique de Montre?al steven.dufour@polymtl.ca Prof. Jean-Michel Ghidaglia Conference Vice-Chair CMLA ENS Cachan jmg@cmla.ens-cachan.fr ------ Subject: Postdoctoral Position in Girona From: Joan Saldana Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2005 16:37:46 +0100 Open post-doc position for the EU project UNINET at Girona application node: We offer a postdoc position for UniNet EU project beginning in April 2005 (see http://www.maths.warwick.ac.uk/~mak/UniNet/UniNet_index.html for details of the project and contact addresses). We look for an ecologist, physicist or mathematician interested in ecological systems and familiar with complex systems approaches and population dynamics. The research will involve the study of persitence theory in evolving food-webs and the analysis of metapopulation models based on mean-field and higher-order correlation equations. The position will last 3 years with a stay of 2 years at the Universitat de Girona (Spain), and spending the third year at the University of Warwick (England) -central node of UniNet project-. The submission deadline for applications is March 14, 2005. ------ Subject: Mathematics in Industry Information Site From: Jeanette Gilbert Date: Thu, 17 Feb 2005 12:37:20 +0000 Cambridge University Press is delighted to announce the launch of Mathematics in Industry Information Site - MIIS. A Joint venture of Oxford Centre for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, The Smith Institute for Industrial Mathematics and System Engineering, and Cambridge University Press/European Journal of Applied Mathematics, it contains records of Study Groups Workshops reports, interactive elements, a combination of preprint server, notice board, and help facility that will match make mathematicians and scientists/engineers in universities and industry and complimentary access and moderated content. ** MIIS aims to be a window on what mathematics can do for industry and how industry can be a source of new ideas for mathematics.
