Procs. Feb. 15, 1993 Lodging Reservations March 1, 1993 Early Registration March 1, 1993 CIRCUS AND WORKSHOPS Anyone who wants to give a talk and will not be in the regular session may do so at one of the Circus sessions. Each session will begin by asking who wishes to speak and setting the Circus schedule accordingly. To provide a more informal atmosphere for discussion, there will also be time set aside for Workshops on specific topics of interest. The schedule for the Circus and Workshops will be determined each day according to demand. STUDENT PAPER COMPETITION Travel and lodging assistance will be awarded to student authors judged to have the best research papers. Papers containing original research due mainly to the student must be received before December 15, 1992. They must be singly authored and may be no more than 10 pages in length. Sending only an abstract is unacceptable. A panel of judges selected from the program committee will determine the best papers. The authors of the three best papers will be given a travel stipend, free lodging and registration, and they will be expected to present their papers in a special session at the conference. A number of other students who participate in the competition will be awarded free lodging and registration depending on the availability of funds. FORMAT There will be morning and late afternoon lectures of approximately 20 minutes each. Evenings will be reserved for the Circus and Workshops. Afternoons will be open for more informal workshops and discussions. HOW TO CONTRIBUTE Potential contributors should submit an abstract of no more than 200 words to: Copper Mountain Conference Coordinator Computational Math Group University of Colorado at Denver Campus Box 170, PO Box 173364 Denver, CO 80217-3364 ABSTRACTS CAN BE SUBMITTED BY E-MAIL TO: cm93@copper.denver.colorado.edu TeX or LaTeX is preferred (include any special style or font file that is used), but plain ASCII is acceptable.

By now a good assortment of high-performance multigrid solvers have been demonstrated on most of the parallel and vector-parallel supercomputers. Those who are interested in comparing notes on their experiences in doing this, and in sharing data and code with each other (and those who are just starting out in this game) may want to join in on the workshop Tuesday evening on 'multigrid for parallel supercomputers'. ------------------------------------------------------- Date: Mon, 24 Aug 1992 12:37:13 -0400 From: douglas-craig@cs.yale.edu ("Craig C. Douglas") Subject: Circus on Monday, April 5 and Thursday, April 8 I would prefer 2 set evenings for the circus, namely Monday, April 5 and Thursday, April 8. The third evening (Tuesday) will be considered a spare. I am going to try to organize a workshop (maybe just a circus) trying to get peoples' views on how to design a general purpose pde solver for the masses. This includes the ability to run on 1 to p processors, visualization, how to specify a (nontrivial) problem, and should this be attached to something like Mathematica or be something simple like the BLAS, etc. ------------------------------------------------------- Date: Mon, 24 Aug 1992 12:37:13 -0400 From: douglas-craig@cs.yale.edu ("Craig C. Douglas") Subject: Cheap air fares? I am also trying to get United airlines to give us a break on plane fares. This is still up in the air (sorry about that phrase). If anyone who is planning to attend is interested in another airline, please drop me a note. Continental is the obvious other airline, but due to their finances may not be a good choice. ------------------------------ End of MGNet Digest **************************
