An Invitation at SIAM CSE

Folks,

As you probably know, the SIAM Conference on Computational Science
and Engineering takes place next week in San Diego.  The organizers
were sufficiently visionary to explicitly call out "Discrete and
Combinatorial Algorithms for CS&E" as one of the conference themes.
Responding to this invitation, Ali Pinar and I organized a two
part minisymposium which will take place on Monday and Tuesday
afternoons.

For those of you who are planning to attend the meeting, I would
also like to seize the opportunity to discuss the status of our
community and what constructive steps we should be taking.
Unfortunately, the meeting agenda is very full, so finding time
for such a dialog is challenging.  However, there is a half-hour
coffee break before each of our minisymposia.  So I suggest we
gather and chat during this period on Tuesday - 2:45 in Garden
Room D.  I'll repeat this invitation at the Monday mini, so those
not on this mailing list won't feel excluded.

I look forward to seeing you next week.

- Bruce
