It is our goal to bring together well-established international scientists and young researchers to continue mapping out new exciting directions and to continue establishing and expanding interdisciplinary research and collaboration. Their background is applied mathematics (dynamical systems, control theory), as well as theoretical biology or medicine. Participating students and postdocs learn about various recent developments and obtain advice from experienced researchers.

The aim is to spread the knowledge on differential geometry of the so-called bihamiltonian systems and to elucidate their role in the general theory of integrable systems. The programme will include 7-8 cycles of lectures from 3 to 5 hours long. Below the lecturers and preliminary titles of these cycles are listed: 1. Maciej Blaszak, "Geometric theory of separability" 2. Alexei Bolsinov, "Singularities of bihamiltonian systems" 3. Adam Doliwa, "On geometry of discrete integrable systems" 4. Andriy Panasyuk "Introduction to Poisson and bihamiltonian geometry" 5. Mikhael Semenov-Tian-Shansky, "Bihamiltonian structures and classical r-matrices" 6. Francisco Javier Turiel "A geometric approach to the local theory of bihamiltonian structures" 7. Ilya Zakharevich, "On construction of bi-Poisson structures" Organizing Committee: Adam Doliwa, Andriy Panasyuk (University of Warmia and Mazury, Poland) More information: http://bcc.impan.pl/11BGIS/ ------ Subject: Workshop, Advances in Model order Reduction From: Younes Chahlaoui Date: Wed, 30 Mar 2011 10:17:31 +0100 Workshop Advances in Model order Reduction, July 6, 2011 School of Mathematics, University of Manchester, UK http://www.maths.manchester.ac.uk/~chahlaoui/AMR11/index.php Model order reduction is a well-established technique for fast simulation of large-scale models based on ordinary differential equations. The aim of this workshop is to discuss recent developments in algorithms and methods to do model reduction and simulation of large scale systems. It is organized after Advances in Numerical Computation: A Workshop in Honour of Sven Hammarling, July 5, 2011. Organizer: Younes Chahlaoui (CICADA, University of Manchester) Speakers: Luca Daniel (MIT) Martin Gutknecht (ETH Zurich) Michael Hinze (University of Hamburg) Volker Mehrmann (TU Berlin) Serkan Gugercin (Virginia Tech) Deadline for registration (cost: GBP 10): June 25. The workshop is sponsored by CICADA and MIMS.
