<br /><br />The Center for Computational and Applied Mathematics (CCAM) is pleased
<br />to announce the Workshop on Inverse Problems in Scattering and Imaging
<br />at Department of Mathematics, Purdue University on April 23, 2016.
<br />
<br />This workshop seeks to bring together researchers in various fields
<br />that involve inverse problems in scattering and imaging. It aims to
<br />offer a comfortable and spirited gathering at a small scale to promote
<br />exchange of ideas between colleagues in modeling, analysis, and
<br />computation of inverse problems along with applications, and to
<br />explore future research directions.

<br />Subject: Complex Networks, Italy, Jun 2016

<br /><br />Mathematical Models and Computational Methods for Complex Networks
<br />June 6-7, 2016
<br />Department of Computer Science, University of Pisa
<br />Largo B. Pontecorvo 3, Pisa
<br />
<br />The workshop is part of the interdisciplinary research project by the
<br />same name between the departments of computer science and mathematics.
<br />The University of Pisa funded the project to foster stricter
<br />collaboration between experts in Numerical Analysis, Optimization and
<br />Operations Research for the solution of complex numerical problems
<br />arising from today's networks (ITC and telecommunication,
<br />transportation, energy, economic, social). Mathematical models with
<br />network structure can be analyzed both through graph and matrix theory
<br />yielding connections between numerical linear algebra, combinatorial
<br />optimization, nonlinear optimization and Markov chains. The meaningful
<br />overlapping between these fields makes it possible to look at the same
<br />problem from different points of view obtaining better results by
<br />exploiting different kinds of techniques jointly.  The workshop brings
<br />together experts in complex networks both from the modelling and
<br />computational perspective to provide a nice overview of the state of
<br />the art in both these research directions. The workshop will take
<br />place on monday afternoon and tuesday morning.
<br />
<br />Attendance to the workshop is welcome and free of charge. Anyhow, you
<br />are required to register by sending an e-mail to
<br />giancarlo.bigi@unipi.it or caterina.fenu@for.unipi.it providing your
<br />name, affiliation and day/days of attendance. The deadline for the
<br />registration is May 15.

<br />simulation of rain-induced floods, storm surges, tsunamis, and similar
<br />events.  Of special interest to our workshop will be presentations
<br />addressing demands and desired features of (future) simulation
<br />software, parallelisation for current and novel HPC platforms, as well
<br />as establishing scalable simulation workflows on supercomputing
<br />environments.
<br />
<br />To register for participation in the workshop, please refer to
<br />https://www.lrz.de/services/compute/courses/2016-06-30_hwrh1s16/ -

<br />via email to Michael Bader .
<br />
<br />The workshop is collocated with the PRACE PATC Course (Jun 27-29,
<br />separate registration necessary) on Intel MIC Programming and will
<br />involve a special session on "Floods in Bavaria" - see the preliminary
<br />programme on

<br />Subject: PhD Positions (6), UCoCoS Project

<br /><br />Major challenges in science, society and industry are induced by the
<br />complexity of our hyper-connected world. Examples are the climate
<br />change, artificial interconnected systems whose dynamics are beyond
<br />our understanding such as the internet, the global banking system and
<br />the power grid. A demand of performance emerges at an unprecedented
<br />scale: collaborative sensors and robots to ensure competitiveness of
<br />the production industry, better management of traffic flows, designing
<br />(de)synchronization mechanisms applicable in neuroscience illustrate
<br />the necessity to understand and control the dynamics of complex
<br />networks.
<br />
<br />The objectives of the UCoCoS project are to create a control-oriented
<br />framework for complex systems, and to define a common language, common
<br />methods and software.  UCoCoS aims at creating a closely connected new
<br />generation of scientists, capable of designing network structures and
<br />policies to affect the networks, and initiating long-term partnerships
<br />leading to sustainable doctoral training.  The UCoCoS approach builds
<br />on recent developments in three domains: computer science, control,
<br />and mechanical engineering.
<br />
<br />In the framwork of UCoCoS there are six open PhD positions. Every PhD
<br />researcher performs a cutting-edge project, relying on the
<br />complementary expertise of three acadmic partners (KU Leuven, Ecole
<br />Centrale de Lille, Eindhoven University of Technology) and benefiting
<br />from training by non-academic partners from three different sectors.
<br />
<br />The UCoCoS project and training network is funded by the H2020 program
<br />of the Europen Commission as an Innovative Training Network - European
<br />Joint Doctorates. More information on the project, and application
<br />instructions can be found at http://www.ucocos-project.eu
