Special issue of ETNA on CSC

Special Issue on Combinatorial Scientific Computing
of the Electronic Transactions on Numerical Analysis (ETNA),
Dedicated to Professor Alan George

The SIAM Workshop  on Combinatorial Scientific Computing (CSC04)
is being organized in San Francisco on Feb 27 and 28, 2004;
the  program and schedule are  available at the URL
www.siam.org/meetings/pp04/cscworkshop.htm.
Concomitant with CSC04,  a special issue of the
Electronic Transactions on Numerical Analysis (ETNA) will be
devoted to combinatorial scientific computing.
Papers presented at CSC04 workshop as well as other submissions
on the themes of CSC  are  welcome for submission to the special issue.

The special issue of ETNA is  dedicated to
Professor  Alan George, Professor of Computer Science and
Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Waterloo,
on the occasion of his 60th birthday,
to recognize the pioneering and fundamental contributions he has made to CSC.

Relevant topics for the issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
Graph algorithms in sparse direct solvers and preconditioners for
   sparse linear equations
Graph algorithms in nonlinear equations, numerical optimization,
  and automatic differentiation
Combinatorial problems in parallel computing
Combinatorial problems in enhancing the performance of irregular computations
Combinatorial problems in genomics and proteomics
Combinatorial matrix theory relevant to scientific computing
Combinatorial problems from novel applications in computational science
Geometric algorithms for meshing

All manuscripts should be submitted electronically to
Prof. Suely Oliveira at the contact information given below,
and will be accepted until  May 31, 2004.
All submissions will go through the usual review process employed
by ETNA. Further information about ETNA and guidelines for
the submission format are available at http://etna.mcs.kent.edu.
The special issue is expected to appear in the Fall of 2004.
