Subject: Report on Java for High-End Computing
The Java Grande Forum (http://www.javagrande.org/) has issued its
initial report, providing a preliminary assessment of the Java
language and environment for high-end and numeric-intensive
computing applications. The complete report is available
at http://www.javagrande.org/. The portion developed by the
Numerics Working Group, includes specific recommendations on
changes to Java to support numerical applications, as welE
as plans for the development of core numerical libraries
in Java. This part of the report can also be viewed at
http://math.nist.gov/javanumerics/jgfnwg-01.html. The working
group is seeking to represent the interests of the numerics
community to Sun to aid in the evolution of Java. Comments to
javagrandeforum@npac.syr.edu are encouraged.

Subject: ADMAT, Automatic Differentiation for MATLAB
Dear Colleagues,
ADMAT -- an Automatic Differentiation toolbox for MATLAB
is now available. ADMAT can compute derivatives of programs written
in MATLAB (i.e., M-files), e.g. the gradient, the Jacobian or the Hessian
matrix. ADMAT is very easy to use, it can compute derivatives of
most M-files and very easy to plug-into other MATLAB toolboxes.
Our research web page http://www.cs.cornell.edu/home/verma/AD/
has more information about our Automatic differentiation project
and efficient computation of sparse and structured derivative
matrices using AD technology.
To download get the following tarred and compressed file:
http://www.cs.cornell.edu/home/verma/AD/ADMAT.tar.gz
ADMAT runs under MATLAB version 5.0 and above. Read the file ADMAT/README
for information on documentation and user guide and some test applications.
Regards
Arun
PS: ADMIT, a toolbox which can compute derivatives of functions written in
C/C++ (via ADOLC tool) is also available from http://www.cs.cornell.edu/home/verma/AD/

provide a forum for the presentation of new approaches to computational
modeling in physics, namely numerical and computer algebra methods and
algorithms, computational tools for simulation and analysis of physical
processes, mathematical modeling of nonlinear static and time-dependent
physical fields, modeling exotic systems, Monte Carlo modeling of
interactions of particles and of particles with matter, problems of
nonlinear mathematical physics, modeling in ecology and biophysics, large
scale scientific computations on advanced computer architectures, and
software for physics experiments.
The MTCP PROCEEDINGS will be published in a form of special issue of CPC
(Computer Physics Communication) Journal by "Elsevier Science Publishers"
(The Netherlands).
We kindly invite all colleagues to participate in the 2nd International
Conference on Computational Physics, which is scheduled on mid June 2001.

Subject: Graduate Positions at University Erlangen-Nuremberg
GRADUATE POSITIONS IN APPLIED MATHEMATICS
The Institute for Applied Mathematics of the University Erlangen-Nuremberg,
Germany, is searching candidates for two positions connected with research
projects in applied mathematics.
The first project is funded by the German Federal Research and Education
Department for three years. It deals with model, algorithm and software
development for the prediction of unsaturated subsurface contaminant
transport and remediation strategies. The transport processes are modelled
by nonlinear partial differential equations. The project is embedded
in a PhD program on applied mathematics / scientific computing.
The second project is carried out in cooperation with the Institute
of Material Sciences of the University Erlangen-Nuremberg and a
medium size enterprise of casting technology. Its subject is the
mathematical modeling and numerical simulation of solidification and solute
transport in the casting of alloys. The models are nonlinear partial
differential equations. The project is supported by the Bavarian Research
Foundation for two years, a prolongation of the project is planned.
The ideal candidate for one of these positions has a degree in mathematics
or a similar subject. He / She should be familiar with applied mathematics
/ scientific computing and / or partial differential equations. Knowledge of
the German language is not expected and only advantageous as far as
everyday life is concerned. The candidate is expected to write a PhD thesis
during the work on the project.
Salary is according to the German BAT IIa/2 tariff for both positions.
It depends on age and family status. (A 25 year old unmarried person
receives about DEM 33,000 / US$ 20,000 gross payment per annum.)
Candidates which are interested in one of those positions should contact
me as soon as possible and provide their CV, testimonies of their academic
education (if possible in English or German translations) and a description
of their scientific background and interests. One or two references of
university teachers would be also helpful.
