 Dear Colleagues on the CSC list serv,

This is a message that went out to the 150+ current members of the SIAM-ACD=
A list serv, with information on the happenings in our community and inviti=
ng them to renew their membership if they have not done so. If you have joi=
ned this SIAG, and  have renewed your membership for next year, thank you.
If you have not, there are three  cases:

  1.  A member of SIAM who has not renewed yet: Go to https://my.siam.org a=
nd add ACDA during renewal
  2.  A member of SIAM who has already renewed: Complete the form at https:=
//my-forms.siam.org/forms/join_siag.htm
  3.  A nonmember: Go to https://my.siam.org and add ACDA during the join p=
rocess.

Please share this information with your friends and students who would be i=
nterested in joining.
The CSC list serv will be shut down after the CSC20 conference in Feb 2020 =
since the SIAG-ACDA has a list serv available to all members. Thanks.
Alex Pothen

Dear  ,

2019 is the first year in existence for SIAG/ACDA! In the past 12 months, w=
e are happy to report that the SIAG has taken several important first steps=
:

  *   Organized a list-serv for the SIAG at [email protected]<mailto:siam-=
[email protected]> for members to communicate with each other; Bora Ucar (ENS, =
Lyon, France) and Cindy Phillips (Sandia National Lab, Albuquerque, NM) are=
 the moderators. When you join the SIAG as a member, you will be added to t=
he list-serv.
  *   Sponsored the SIAM Workshop on Combinatorial Scientific Computing (CS=
C20)<http://www.mmsend49.com/link.cfm?r=3DmNGeITYEq3ywFkliHkfiFw~~&pe=3DZrM=

We plan to keep the momentum going for 2020 by:

  *   Planning the organization of the first SIAM Conference on Applied and=
 Computational Discrete Algorithms (ACDA) in 2021. Current plans are to co-=
locate the meeting with the SIAM Annual Meeting in July. The SIAM ACDA conf=
erence will have both refereed papers published as a SIAM Proceedings as we=
ll as talks selected from two-page abstracts. We will seek to bring togethe=
r diverse subcommunities of researchers whose work is representative of app=
lied and computational discrete algorithms.
  *   Sponsoring an invited plenary talk by David Shmoys (Cornell) as part =
of an evening reception to introduce SIAG ACDA to the attendees of the SODA=
 cluster of conferences in January 2020.
  *   Publicizing the SIAG to existing members of SIAM and recruiting new m=
embers to SIAM and the SIAG by: writing articles in SIAM News and SIAM Blog=
s; organizing minisymposia on ACDA topics at other SIAM Conferences in 2020=
 such as the SIAM Conference on Discrete Mathematics, the first-ever SIAM C=
onference on Mathematics of Data Science, and the SIAM Annual meeting; and,=
 with your help, personal word of mouth from SIAG ACDA members. Please tell=
 your friends, others you meet at conferences on relevant topics, and espec=
ially students, about our SIAG! You can follow us on Twitter @siam_acda<htt=

  *   Creating best paper and best student paper prizes at the ACDA confere=
nces to recognize excellence in our community. We also note that SIAM has a=
nnounced the first-ever George Polya Prize on Applied Combinatorics in 2019=
! It will be awarded at the 2020 SIAM Annual Meeting.



We cannot thank you enough for joining us as founding members of SIAG/ACDA,=
 for helping to grow our group through your contacts and students, and for =
making it successful by participating in our listserv and conferences. Than=
