Subject: Open Position
Dear collegues,
In our new international master's course "Computational Engineering" we offer
an open position as guest lecturer. This position is mainly financed by DAAD,
the German Academic Exchange Service. In the appendix you can find some
pdf-file with the job offer; you can find it under
http://webapp.uni-rostock.de/stellen/st-einzel.asp?ID=133 , too.
Urgently, we are seeking for a suited person who can teach the named lectures
starting this summer semester for one or optimally two semesters. The
position is financed as full position. Some money is at hand for some
equipment and instrumentation.
The lectures officially start on April 5, 2003.
Good knowledge of the English language is mandatory. Knowledge of the German
language is helpful but not necessary.
Best regards,
Ulla van Rienen

From: Bill Mitchell
Subject: PHAML Version 0.9 released
I am pleased to announce the availability of Version 0.9 of PHAML.
PHAML (Parallel Hierarchical Adaptive MultiLevel) is a Fortran 90
module for the solution of second order linear elliptic partial
differential equations of the form
-( p(x,y) * u ) -( q(x,y) * u ) + r(x,y) * u = f(x,y)
x x y y
with Dirichlet, Neumann (natural) or Mixed boundary conditions,
where p>0, q>0, r, and f are functions of x and y.
It also solves elliptic eigenvalue problems where f is lambda * u and
the boundary conditions are homogeneous. Other types of differential
equations (e.g. parabolic, nonlinear, systems) can be solved using
PHAML as the core elliptic solver in an iteration.
PHAML uses the same numerical methods as the popular program MGGHAT,
namely a finite element method with linear elements over triangles,
adaptive refinement via newest node bisection and a multigrid solver
based on a hierarchical basis formulation. However, PHAML is written
as a Fortran 90 module, runs on message-passing distributed-memory
parallel computers and clusters, and compiles into a library, whereas
MGGHAT is a FORTRAN 77 sequential program.
PHAML optionally uses several other packages to enhance its basic
capabilities:
- system specific BLAS and LAPACK libraries, to improve performance
- MPI or PVM, for message-passing parallelism
- OpenGL, for visualization
- Zoltan, for dynamic load balancing methods other than the default
refinement-tree method
- PETSc, for solvers other than the default multigrid method
- ARPACK, for eigenvalue problems
Hooks to other popular packages will be added in the future, to
enhance PHAML's use as a research tool for comparing different
methods and software packages.
PHAML has been tested on clusters and distributed-memory parallel
computers with most Unix-like operating systems. The distribution
contains examples demonstrating its use for solving elliptic
equations, parabolic equations, nonlinear equations, systems of
elliptic equations, and eigenvalue problems. The examples illustrate
how to use it in either a master/slave model of parallelism with
dynamic addition and deletion of processes, or an SPMD (single
program multiple data) model of parallelism. It can also be run as
a sequential program.
For more information on the PHAML project, and to download the
software, please visit

This should be considered to be a beta release; bug reports, comments and suggestions are encouraged.

Advanced mathematical models are gaining increasing attention in financial
engineering. Contrary to many technical and industrial applications, however,
sophisticated computational techniques are not yet well established here.
Indeed there is still an urgent demand for the enhancement of mathematical
models for a more realistic description of a wide class of phenomena arising
in the world of finance. Equally important are efficient computational
methods for a fast solution of these tasks. Evidently a strong cooperation of
financial practitioners and mathematicians is vital. This workshop provides a
forum for discussing recent advances and innovations in the field as well as
future developments.
Topics:
Multivariate European and American Options
Exotic Options
Levy Processes
High Frequency Financial Data
Financial Model Calibration
Credit Risk
Interest Rate Models
Efficient Numerical Methods for Financial Engineering Models

Call for Papers
NSMC '03
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON
THE NUMERICAL SOLUTION OF MARKOV CHAINS
in conjunction with
PNPM '03 (Petri Nets and Performance Models)
TOOLS '03 (Tools for Performance Evaluation)
PMCCS '03 (Performability Modeling of Computer and Communication Systems)
Location and Dates
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
September 3 - 5, 2003.
NSMC '03 is the fourth in a series of international conferences devoted to all
aspects of the numerical solution of Markov chains. The first two meetings
were held in 1990 and 1995 at NC State University. The last was held in 1999
in Zaragoza, Spain and was joined by two other meetings having substantial
interests in Markov chains. Since this format proved effective, we are
proposing to do this same for the upcoming September '03 meeting. The
meetings will be held simultaneously and participants may move freely from one
to another.
NSMC '03 website: http://www.csc.ncsu.edu/nsmc2003/
Multiconference website: http://www.crhc.uiuc.edu/Multi/index.html
The goals of the "Numerical Solution of Markov Chain" meeting are:
(1) To foster collaboration among diverse researchers, to minimize unnecessary
duplication and to encourage interdisciplinary, international exchange.
(2) To present unique and novel applications of Markov chains that need
tailored algorithms and solutions that we numerical analysts, computer
scientists, mathematicians and statisticians can provide.
(3) To present recent and advanced techniques for solving Markov chains.
(4) To provide the opportunity for researchers who work in this area to
present their latest research results. The collection of presentations is
intended to be an authoritative overview of the field, including its
history, developments, and current status.
(5) To predict future directions and the field's most pressing needs,
thereby motivating stimulating work in such areas.
(6) To produce a comprehensive set of proceedings, which is expected
to become a significant reference work.
LIST OF TOPICS: Includes, but is not limited to:
Matrix generation techniques and storage
