Subject: CMU-IBM Cyberinfrastructure Collaborative site for MINLP
We want to welcome you the CMU-IBM Cyberinfrastructure Collaborative
site for MINLP:
http://www.minlp.org
and invite you to contribute to a unique library of MINLP optimization
problems. This site has been funded by the National Science Foundation, Grant
OCI-0750826. http://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward.do?AwardNumber=0750826
The major goal of this site is to create a library of optimization problems
in different application areas in which one or several alternative models
are presented with their derivation. In addition, each model has one or
several instances that can serve to test various algorithms. While we are
emphasizing MINLP models, you may also wish to submit MILP and NLP
models that are relevant to problems that can be formulated as MINLP
problems. The site is intended to provide a mechanism for researchers
and users to contribute towards the creation of this library of optimization
problems, and to provide a forum of discussion for algorithm developers
and application users where alternative formulations can be discussed as
well as performance and comparison of algorithms. The site also provides
extensive information on various resources, meetings and bibliography.
If you have any comments or suggestions, please send them to:
minlp@andrew.cmu.edu
We very much look forward to your participation.

Subject: UFgui Java interface to the UF Sparse Matrix Collection
The UF Sparse Matrix Collection now includes a simple yet powerful GUI
interface, UFgui. The program acts as a matrix browser, with images and a
searchable/sortable table of the matrices. Its search interface allows you
to create simple or complex search criteria (such as "give me a list of all
computational fluid dynamics problems that are real, square, with at least
10,000 rows and 100,042 nonzeros, and have a nonzero pattern that is at
least 83% symmetric, and then download them in order of increasing size
and/or export the list to a spreadsheet"). As new matrices are added to
the collection, UFgui will automatically update itself with the new index.
You can find the code here, precompiled and ready to run on any platform
(the latest Java JRE 1.6.0 required):
http://www.cise.ufl.edu/research/sparse/mat/UFget.html
Feedback and request for new features will be warmly welcomed.
(Sorry, no poetry here, but astute NA Digest readers will recognize the
default matrix icon for UFgui as the one highlighted in "Horror Matrices,"
http://www.cise.ufl.edu/~davis/Poetry/horror.html ) whose nonzero pattern
looks surprising like the Jabberwocky. You can see the same matrix with the
MATLAB command load west0479 ; spy(west0479) ).

Subject: Automated Program Generation at ICCS2010, Amsterdam, May 2010
CALL FOR PAPERS
Workshop on Automated Program Generation for Computational Science
http://www.sc.rwth-aachen.de/Events/APGCSatICCS2010/
at International Conference on Computational Science (ICCS 2010)
Amsterdam, The Netherlands, May 31 - June 02, 2010
The development of correct and efficient software is one of the main
bottlenecks in turning new concepts for modeling and numerics into reality.
While the power of computers has exploded over the last decades, programming
productivity in computational science has grown only slowly. Automated
software generation, while not a general solution, is a promising approach
in certain application areas such as automatic differentiation, automatic
parallel software generation for computational kernels, and higher-level
programming abstractions for domains such as partial differential equations.
This approach makes use of a variety of computational science techniques
(e.g., application domain specific compilers/interpreters, mark-up
languages, operator overloading) to transform one, perhaps high level,
problem statement to correct and efficient software required to address a
related issue. The goal of this workshop is to bring together developers and
users of such tools to illustrate the state of the art and advance potential
areas of common interest.
Full papers (at most 10 pages) are due January 8, 2010, authors are notified
of acceptance by Febuary 15, 2010, and camera ready papers are due by March
1, 2010. See the web page for formatting and submission details.
In case of questions, contact Chris Bischof (bischof@sc.rwth-aachen.de).
Please prefix your subject line with "ICCS2010".

Subject: Graduate Research Assistantships at UT-Austin
The FLAME project and related research projects have several open
positions for GRAs. The positions focus on high-performance dense
and/or iterative linear algebra algorithm and library development.
We encourage graduating undergraduates and masters students in these
topics to apply to the Department of Computer Science or the
Computational Science, Engineering, and Mathematics (CSEM, formerly
CAM) program at UT-Austin. We will be happy to consider those who
meet the admissions standards of these programs for the open positions.
For information, contact Robert van de Geijn (rvdg@cs.utexas.edu) or
Victor Eijkhout (eijkhout@tacc.utexas.edu).

Subject: Erasmus Mundus Master Programme COSSE
"Computer Simulation for Science and Engineering" (COSSE) is a new Erasmus
Mundus Master's programme in the field of Computational Science and
Engineering jointly offered by four European universities:
- KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden
- Technical University of Berlin, Germany
- Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands
- Friedrich-Alexander-University of Erlangen, Germany.
Erasmus Mundus is an EU programme supporting university cooperation at the
master’s and doctoral levels. It aims to provide top-quality European
education to attract the best students from all over the world. The
programmes are offered by a group of partner universities and include studies
in at least two European countries.
Students enter at one of the universities for their first year of studies,
and continue to one of the other institutions in another country for the
second year, which concludes with a jointly supervised master’s thesis.
Graduates are awarded a double degree from two universities.
COSSE is generously supported by the European Union including a competitive
stipend programme.
The programme prepares its students for employment within the high-tech
industry, starting their own innovative businesses or continued studies
towards a PhD. In addition, the compulsory mobility of the programme enhances
the cultural awareness and adaptability of all its participants.
