Conference to support CSC

Folks -- I want to bring your attention to a conference to be held
in Cambridge (UK) in late May.  The meeting will jump-start a new
Wiley journal on Numerical Analysis and Computational Mathematics.
I have agreed to serve on the editorial board of this journal, and
I am hoping it will be a vehicle for publication of new results
in Combinatorial Scientific Computing.

Towards this end, I am hoping that our community will participate
significantly in the conference.  Some of the conference submissions
will be selected to appear as full papers in the first few issues
of the journal.  And if that isn't incentive enough, the conference
proceedings will themselves be published by Wiley.

More details are provided in the announcement below.

Regards,

- Bruce














FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS

International Conference on
NUMERICAL ANALYSIS & COMPUTATIONAL MATHEMATICS (NACoM-2003)

May 23-24-25-26, 2003
Anglia Polytechnic University (APU), Cambridge, UK

http://www.apu.ac.uk/appsci/maths/NACoM-2003/

The multidisciplinary field of Numerical Analysis and Computational
Mathematics is long suffering from major delays in the publication of
original papers. In most cases it takes at least 2 to 3 years for a paper
to be accepted and the situation seems to get worse by the year. The NACoM-

2003 will address this serious problem, as follows:
1) This first time the NACoM Conference will serve as the medium for the 
official LAUNCH of a NEW WILEY JOURNAL on "APPLIED NUMERICAL ANALYSIS AND
COMPUTATIONAL MATHEMATICS (ANACM)" (Editor-in-Chief T.E. SIMOS). The
journal will provide colleagues with a new really efficient medium for
refereed publications. Generally, in ANACM it is expected that the time
between a paper submission and its acceptance for publication to be around
6 MONTHS. ANACM will be registered with the ISI CITATION INDEX without
delay.
2) The NACoM-2003 Conference is expected to attract very high quality
papers and a refereed selection of them will be published in the two
special issues of the new journal.
3) This will be an excellent opportunity for colleagues from the
international Numerical and Computational Mathematics community to MEET IN
PERSON members of the ANACM EDITORIAL BOARD. Furthermore, high-ranking
representatives from Wiley-Europe will be present and will address the
participants

MAIN TOPICS

Numerical ODEs, Numerical PDEs (inc. BVPs), Numerical Differential
Algebraic Equations, Numerical Stochastic Differential Equations,
Approximation, Numerical Linear Algebra, Numerical Integral Equations,
Error Analysis and Interval Analysis, Difference Equations and Recurrence
Relations, Numerical problems in Dynamical Systems, Applications to the
Sciences (Computational Physics, Computational Chemistry, Computational
Engineering etc), Numerical Algorithms and Scientific Computing, Numerical
methods in Fourier analysis

CALL FOR PAPERS & EXPRESSION OF INTEREST

Submission of original papers is invited for the NACoM-2003 Conference.
Please initially submit an ABSTRACT OF UP TO FOUR A4 PAGES to the General 
Chair (g.y.psihoyios-lA4DE8DtZqpaa/[email protected]) by February 28, 2003. Please send a 
standard LaTeX article style abstract without page numbers. Send the LaTeX 
AND the Postscript files. Furthemore, please use 12 pt Times New Roman for 
the regular text, single or 1.5 line spacing and 3 cm borders. Only 
electronic submission of abstracts/papers will be accepted. The deadline 
and further particulars for the submission of full-length papers will be 
provided in due course through the website and at the "Second 
Announcement".

If you do not plan to present a paper BUT you seriously think of
participating, please send a short email to indicate your intention to
participate. This will greatly assist us in making appropriate plans
according to the expected number of participants.

PROCEEDINGS

Selected refereed full-length papers will be published at the two first
special issues of the new "Applied Numerical Analysis and Computational
Mathematics (ANACM)" Wiley journal.  Submission of the full-length paper
is possible only after acceptance of the abstract. The two ANACM issues
will be distributed to the Conference participants when printed.

ALL the accepted (extended) abstracts (up to four A4 pages) from 
registered participants will be also appropriately published and
distributed at the Conference.

CALL FOR MINI-SYMPOSIA/PARALLEL-SESSIONS

Several Minisimposia will take place in a parallel session form during the
Conference. If you wish to hold a Minisymposium please email the General
Chair (g.y.psihoyios-lA4DE8DtZqpaa/[email protected]) as soon as you can with a short proposal.
The basic requirement for any such session is that it will include AT 
LEAST 4 PAPER PRESENTATIONS (of around 30 minutes each, including time for
questions).
