New Directions Course at the Institute for Mathematics and its Applications

 From June 20 to July 1, 2011 the IMA will offer an intensive short
course on modern mathematical tools for the study of dynamical systems
and their applications. The course is designed for researchers in the
mathematical sciences and related disciplines. The main lecturers for
the course are Peter Bates, Department of Mathematics, Michigan State
University, and Rafael de la Llave, Department of Mathematics,
University of Texas at Austin.

Additional short introductions to computational methods will be
provided by Alex Haro Provinciale, Departament de Matematica Aplicada
i Analisi, Universitat de Barcelona, Spain, and Gemma Huguet, Center
for Neural Science, New York University. Other guest lecturers include
Martin Lo, Jet Propulsion Lab, Stephen Schecter, Department of
Mathematics, North Carolina State University, and George Sell.

The primary audience for the course is mathematics faculty. Some
background in dynamical systems is expected. Participants will receive
full travel and lodging support during the workshop.

Multiscale Modeling, Advanced Discretization Techniques, and
Simulation of Wave Propagation
May 7-8, 2011
King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST)
Thuwal, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

On May 7-8, 2011, the KAUST Global Research Collaborative (GRC) will
be hosting a workshop on "Multiscale Modeling, Advanced Discretization
Techniques, and Simulation of Wave Propagation" at the King Abdullah
University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Thuwal, Kingdom of
Saudi Arabia. With the goal of facilitating the exchange of ideas to
improve modeling and simulation predictions, this workshop will bring
together researchers working in the areas of advanced discretization
techniques, wave propagation in heterogeneous and random media,
subgrid models, uncertainty quantification, solvers, geophysics, and
high-performance computation and visualization tools for large-scale
wave simulations. The workshop will consist of a number of invited
presentations and include a poster session.  Registration is free and
those interested should visit http://isc.tamu.edu/events/KAUSTwaveprop
and/or contact KAUSTwaveprop@gmail.com for more information and
registration. Along with GRC, support will be provided by a mixture of
funds from KAUST, Texas A&M University's (TAMU) Institute for Applied
Mathematics and Computational Science (IAMCS), and TAMU's Institute
for Scientific Computation (ISC).

IMA CONFERENCE ON NONLINEARITY AND COHERENT STRUCTURES
6-8 July 2011  University of Reading, UK

Aim and Scope. Nonlinear phenomena are ubiquitous in the natural
world. Very often the nonlinearity coexists with a degree of order,
and the associated coherent structures offer a solid reference point
for theory and experiments. A noteworthy example are the so-called
solitons, localised waves propagating nonlinearly and yet displaying
many features of linearity. The theoretical developments in the field
of nonlinear evolution phenomena and the mathematical study of
coherent structures are relevant to many disparate fields, including
nonlinear optics, random media, atmosphere and ocean dynamics, general
relativity, high-energy particle physics, plasma physics, fluid and
solid mechanics, Bose-Einstein condensation, nonlinear electrical
circuits, and reaction-diffusion processes. The aim of this meeting is
to bring together researchers on the theoretical aspects of these
problems with researchers in the many fields of potential application,
to discuss recent developments, methodologies and results, and to
encourage communication and collaboration.

Invited Speakers: Mark Ablowitz IMA Distinguished Lecturer (University
of Colorado at Boulder); Adrian Constantin (University of Vienna);
Roger Grimshaw (Loughborough University); Peter Janssen (ECMWF); Simon
Maskell (QinetiQ); Alan Osborne (University of Torino and Office of
Naval Research in Arlington, Virginia); Sergey Turytsin (Aston
University)

Subject: Conference on Simulation and Modeling of Biological Flows
From: Adelia Sequeira <adelia.sequeira@math.ist.utl.pt>
Date: Sun, 13 Mar 2011 15:57:53 +0000

The Vrije Universiteit Brussel, the von Karman Institute and the
Technical University of Lisbon are organizing an ECCOMAS Thematic
Conference on

Simulation and Modeling of Biological Flows, 21-23 September 2011 at
Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Brussels, Belgium (SIMBIO 2011).

In recent years there is a growing interest in the simulation and
modeling of flows in living organisms. The main applications are
related to blood flow in the vessels and airflow in the respiratory
tract. But also other applications such as e.g. fluid and solute
transport in bones, artificial blood pumps, phonation and speech
production fall into the category of biological flows.

The aim of the present thematic conference is to bring together
scientists and researchers working in this field and providing them a
forum for discussion and technical exchanges in this rapidly growing
field.

Deadline for submitting a 2 page abstract is April 1, 2011.
