Subject: First Dahlquist Prize
JM Sanz-Serna is awarded first Dahlquist Prize
The Dahlquist Prize has been established in recognition of the
pioneering work of Germund Dahlquist in the field of numerical
analysis and, in particular, for his fundamental work in the numerical
solution of differential equations. The prize will be awarded to a
young scientist (normally less than 45) for original contributions to
fields associated with the work of Germund Dahlquist. It will be
administered by SIAM and awarded approximately every two years.
The following have generously supported the prize:
Computer Solutions Europe AB, Stockholm
Mathworks,
NADA of KTH, Stockholm
The many friends of Germund Dahlquist
J.M. ("Chus") Sanz-Serna was awarded the first Dahlquist Prize for his
distinguished work on stability and long-time behavior of numerical
solutions of ordinary and partial differential equations, especially
for his leadership in establishing a numerical analysis of Hamiltonian
differential equations and for his contributions to a theory for
symplectic methods of general applicability. This body of work has
inspired and influenced many people working in the fields of numerical
analysis and its areas of application; it will undoubtedly continue to
do so for many years to come.
Chus studied for his Bachelor's degree and PhD at the University of
Valladolid, Spain; his PhD was in the field of functional analysis and
obtained in 1977. After this he decided to move in the direction of
applied mathematics and study at Dundee University, well-known for
excellence in numerical analysis, to obtain a Master's degree. This
proved a decisive move and most of his research since that time has
been in the field of numerical analysis. In 1981 he moved to the
University of the Basque Country, leaving in 1982 to take up a chair
at the University of Valladolid, where he has been since that time.
In early 1995 he was awarded the Iberdrola Science and Technology
Prize, given annually to a Spanish researcher for outstanding
contributions in physics, chemistry, mathematics or engineering.

Subject: Stamatis Cambanis
Dear Colleaques
Professor S. Cambanis, 51, of Univ. N. C., Statistics dept., former chairman
of Stat. Dept. died on April 12,95 at 6p.m,EST, after a long battle
with cancer. He was one of the main researchers of contemporary
probability theory, a Univ. of Princeton Ph.D. His main contributions
were in stable processes, moment theory, probability inequalities,
stochastic asymptotic expansions of probabilistic approximations,
wavelet expansions,sampling theory, signals etc,etc.
He had many students and collaborators around the world.
He was always smiling, helpful and encouraging, always very friendly
and never negative. He is survived by his wife and two grown up sons.
Stamatis was a genius student who came from Athens,Greece for
graduate studies in U.S in the 60's. As I know he will be buried in
Greece,in his favorite island of "Paros". Fullfiling his dream (of every
Greek immigrant) to go back home live or dead!
His family is getting ready in Chapel Hill so they fly all together
for the last time in our homeland Greece.

Subject: Testing Random Number Generators
Dear NAnet-readers:
We are looking for recent references (articles, books) for testing
random number generators, for random number generators
in parallel, and for tests on sublists of random sequences.
We are currently parallelizing a 3D MD code, and need a "good"
random number generator (RNG) in parallel. Any references in this
area (for this particular type of RNG) would be useful; but we are
also looking for RNG tests for more general uses (but in parallel).
We already looked in the Knuth book for RNG. But we would like
to have the most recent research on the subject, as well as on the
relevance/importance of all existing tests.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Subject: General Program for Bayesian Inference
I have written a GAUSS procedure that implements Newton and Raftery's
Weighted Likelihood Bootstrap method for generating a simulation of the
posterior distribution of the parameters of a general maximum likelihood
model ("Approximate Bayesian Inference with the Weighted Likelihood
Bootstrap", Michael A. Newton and Adrian E. Raftery, in J.R.Statist.Soc.B,
(56):3-48, 1994).
There are two versions, one that goes with the GAUSS Constrained Maximum
Likelihood (CML) application, and another that goes with the GAUSS
(unconstrained) Maximum Likelihood (MAXLIK 4.0) application. The CML
version of the procedure allows the placing of general nonlinear equality
and inequality constraints on the parameters. Both versions provide for a
user-specified procedure for computing a prior. Once the posterior has
been simulated, CML and MAXLIK 4.0 procedures may be used for generating
kernel density plots, univariate histograms and bivariate surface plots,
and confidence intervals.
Both procedures are in the public domain and may be retrieved by
anonymous ftp from ftp.u.washington.edu : /public/rons.

Subject: Parallel Coordinates Software
New Offerings: Parallel Coordinates Software for Visual Data Mining
IBM recently introduced Parallel Visual Explorer (PVE), data analysis
software which enables the unambiguous visualization of datasets with
MANY (in principle unlimited) variables. With PVE, visual cues together
with an easy-to-use set of visual queries are used to rapidly discover
relations (if they exist) among the variables and how these relations
effect various objectives.
In beta testing of Parallel Visual Explorer, one medical researcher
used the software to gain insight into the impact of various
treatments on the immune system of people with AIDS, and other
diseases. IBM itself has used Parallel Visual Explorer to improve
the way it fabricates and manufactures circuit boards, resulting in
a 25 percent reduction in the need for testing and inspection. PVE
is applicable in a wide variety of multivariate problems.
PVE is based on Parallel Coordinates which was first proposed by
Al Inselberg in 1978 and has become well accepted in recent
years. With Parallel Coordinates a 1-1 subset to subset mapping from
R sup N to R sup 2 is constructed. The images in 2-D of several
N-Dimensional Hypersurfaces have "useful" properties providing
an analytical and synthetic method for doing N-Dimensional Euclidean
Geometry. Parallel Coordinates can also be used for infinite
dimensional spaces (Aleph sub o and Aleph sub 1). Based on Parallel
Coordinates, algorithms for Collision Avoidance were constructed
in conjuction with the new Air Traffic Control System. Al, who
consults for IBM, is writing a book on the subject and can
be reached, for further information, at aiisreal@watson.ibm.com

Subject: Report on SciCADE95
Report on SciCADE95
In recent years, the numerical ODE community has been organising international
conferences at roughly two-year intervals. The previous conference in the
series took place in Auckland in January 1993, and celebrated the 60th
birthday of John Butcher. The latest one, held this spring at Stanford
University, concluded with a day devoted to another 60th birthday celebration;
this time for Bill Gear. The conference has developed the name SciCADE
(Scientific Computation and Differential Equations) and as this name suggests,
the scope has broadened considerably over the years.
SciCADE95 was held at Stanford University from March 28 to April 1st.
With over 20 plenary sessions and around 150 parallel talks I will not
start to list specific contributions! (See the NA digest from December 11th,
1994 for details of speakers and minisymposia; the URL is
http://www.netlib.org/na-digest/html/94/v94n50.html#8
See also the URL http://www-sccm.stanford.edu/scicade/abstracts.html
for a complete listing of the abstracts of the conference).
Instead let me mention that the key-note talks covered a variety of `hot'
areas, including long-time computations, dynamical systems issues, shadowing,
error control, preservation of solution invariants, differential-algebraic
systems, molecular dynamics, stochastic differential equations and parallel
methods. Among the minisymposia themes were software development, functional
differential equations, boundary value problems, education issues, ODE methods
in PDEs, linear algebra and optimization aspects, and many examples from
application areas including atmospheric modelling, astronomy, control theory
and robotics.
The conference also included the announcement and presentation of
the first ever Dahlquist Prize. This award, administered by SIAM,
has been established in honour of Germund Dahlquist. It is to be awarded
to young scientists (normally less than 45 years old) for original contributions
to fields associated with Dahlquist's work. The prize was awarded to
J.M. (Chus) Sanz-Serna of the University of Valladolid for his distinguished
work on stability and long-time dynamics, particularly for his fundamental
results on symplectic methods. On accepting the award, Sanz-Serna relaxed the
constraint of a `one hour lecture' and instead gave a thoughtful and personal
account of his academic career. He especially thanked his collaborators,
many of whom were present, and referred to his training on a
Masters Course at the University of Dundee as a pivotal time in his
mathematical career. The content and style of his acceptance speech
helped to get the Dahlquist Prize off to a wonderful start, and
he clearly struck a chord with the audience when he expressed the hope
that the award might encourage others who choose to pursue research
in the face of high teaching loads.
The second special feature of the conference was a final-day `Gear Festival'
to celebrate the 60th birthday of Bill Gear. Fred Krogh gave a personal
remembrance of his early encounters with Gear, and Bob Skeel and Linda
Petzold outlined some of Gear's work in the `pre-DIFFSUB' and `post-DIFFSUB'
eras, respectively. The impact of Gear's work on the solution of stiff
ODEs is, of course, appreciated by all numerical analysts (and many others)
---in fact one expert suggested that one of the DIFFSUB codes in Gear's 1971
book is the most significant numerical analysis computer program ever written.
The speakers also emphasised many of Gear's other contributions to
numerical analysis, all of which carried his hallmark of farsightedness.
In addition, the audience was made aware of his work in
mainstream computer science, and his highly respected abilities as
an academic administrator. The festivities continued into the evening
with a banquet at the Stanford Faculty Club. After the meal, Gene Golub
solicited an informal mixture of anecdotes and accolades
from friends, colleagues and former students of Gear. The contributions
included a pre-recorded video tribute from Germund Dahlquist.
(Thanks are due to Gustaf Soderlind for setting up this item.)
The pleasant surroundings of the Stanford campus in springtime and the
seamless organisation combined to make the conference a great academic
and social success. The organising committee of Gene Golub, Linda Petzold,
Bob Skeel and Andrew Stuart deserve a hearty thanks. The participants were
left to look forward to SciCADE97, which is to be held in Trieste, Italy.
