Subject: Numerical Methods for Fractional-Derivative Problems, China, Apr 2019


The 3rd Workshop on "Numerical Methods for Fractional-Derivative
Problems" will be held at Beijing Computational Science Research
Center on 26 & 27 April 2019. The previous two workshops on this
topic, held at Beijing CSRC in 2017 and 2018, each attracted more than
100 participants. This year's workshop, in addition to focusing on
fractional derivative problems, will include a few talks on the
closely-related area of inverse problems.

The main speakers are Buyang Li (Hong Kong Polytechnic), William
McLean (University of New South Wales), Chuanju Xu (Xiamen) and
Masahiro Yamamoto (Tokyo). Other invited speakers, and full details
regarding the workshop, are listed on the workshop website
http://www.csrc.ac.cn/en/event/workshop/2019-01-24/88.html

A few slots are still open for contributed talks; if you wish to
submit a talk, then please email fdworkshop2019@csrc.ac.cn your title
and abstract (between a half-page and one page) as soon as possible.

Registration at the workshop website is now open.

communication, processing and storage. This seventeenth International
Conference in an established and successful IMA series on the theme of
"Cryptography and Coding" solicits original research papers on all
technical aspects of cryptography and coding are solicited for
submission. Submissions are welcome on any cryptographic or
coding-theoretic topic including, but not limited to: Foundational

journal or any other conference or workshop with proceedings.
Accepted submissions may not appear in any other conference or
workshop that has proceedings. Authors of accepted papers must
guarantee that their paper will be presented at the conference and
must make a full version of their paper available online. All
submissions will be blind-reviewed. Papers must be anonymous, with no
author names, affiliations, acknowledgements, or obvious
references. Submissions should begin with a cover page containing
title, a short abstract, and a list of keywords. The body of the paper
should be at most 14 pages, excluding the title page with abstract,
the bibliography, and clearly marked appendices. Committee members are
not required to review appendices, so the paper should be intelligible
and self-contained within this length. The submission must be in

Subject: Junior-Professorship Position, Machine Learning, Heidelberg Univ


The Interdisciplinary Center for Scientific Computing (IWR) at
Heidelberg University invites applications for a

Junior-Professorship in *Machine Learning in Scientific Computing*
(W1, fixed term for 6 years)

This Junior-Professorship is part of the funding programme Artificial
Intelligence Baden-Wurttemberg (KI-BW) and comes with excellent
financial resources. The main research focus of the successful
applicant should be in the development of methodologies in machine
learning that address in particular problems, where the sparsity or
uncertainty of data requires an integration of machine learning
algorithms with established physical or other parametric models.

areas where they have not been adequately represented so far. Women
with the requisite qualifications are expressly encouraged to apply.

Application Deadline: 01/04/2019

Subject: MSc Program, Financial and Comp Mathematics, Univ College Cork, Ireland


University College Cork, Ireland, is accepting applications for a new
taught Masters programme, to start in September 2019:

MSc Financial and Computational Mathematics

Modern finance is increasingly reliant upon advanced mathematical and
computational techniques for the modelling of asset and financial
market movements, the design and valuation of financial derivatives,
and portfolio management. The rapid increase in available computing
speeds over the past fifteen years has led to the widespread adoption
of sophisticated computational methods for financial modelling and the
development of algorithmic approaches to market trading.

This programme provides an appropriately rigorous treatment of
branches of mathematics applicable to financial modelling, including
measure- theoretic probability, stochastic processes in discrete and
continuous time, and partial differential equations. Computational
methods are a core part of the programme; we provide exposure to
relevant software including Python, R and C#, and the option to study
machine learning, which is emerging as an essential and rapidly
developing tool in industry.

The programme is targeted at students pursuing degrees in the
mathematical sciences who wish to enhance their employment options by
studying advanced mathematics with a financial focus. Cork is located
in the southwest of Ireland and enjoys proximity to financial sector
employers in Ireland (for the example in the IFSC in Dublin) and in
other European financial centres.
