Many of you will have heard about the remarks made by Lawrence H. Summers,
president of Harvard University, about barriers to women pursuing academic
careers in Mathematics, Science and Engineering. In response to this, the
International Council for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (ICIAM)
has issued the statement below. The CAIMS*SCMAI Board endorses this
statement.
More information about Summers’ remarks, including the responses
of various mathematical societies and institutes can be found on the
website of the Association for Women in Mathematics:
http://www.awm-math.org/response.html
ICIAM Statement on Women in Mathematics
Recent remarks of the President of Harvard University have led to
media speculation that innate differences in the mathematical
abilities of men and women make it less likely that women will
succeed in science and mathematics. ICIAM does not accept this notion.
ICIAM members are well aware that there are many barriers (whether
financial, cultural, or practical) that face women who want to pursue
mathematical or scientific careers at the highest levels. The unbroken
career paths that are typical of successful male careers in mathematics
take no account of the specific responsibities of women related to child
bearing and family.
As an international organisation representing the world’s applied
mathematicians, ICIAM is committed to removing the educational
inequalities in mathematics that exist in many parts of the world,
and to improving the access to careers in the mathematical sciences
for all men and women. ICIAM highlights the accomplishments of all
applied mathematicians, women and men, at our quadrennial International
Congress, the premier event world-wide in applied and industrial
mathematics.
ICIAM, the International Council for Industrial and Applied Mathematics,
is the world organisation for applied mathematics and computational
science. Its members are mathematical sciences societies based in more
than 20 countries. For more information, see the Council’s web page at

Canadian Association of Research Libraries
Association des bibliotheques du recherche du Canada
Ottawa, January 24, 2005 -Major study reveals the need for a national
strategy for knowledge dissemination in Canada
The government spends billions of dollars every year to promote research
in Canada but it needs to give more attention to the way that the
results of research are disseminated into society. This is just one of
the findings of a three-year study sponsored by the Canadian Association
of Research Libraries on the need for research on the future of knowledge
dissemination in Canada
In their report, Towards an Integrated Knowledge Ecosystem: A Canadian
Research Strategy, investigators describe a profound transformation
occurring in the way research is conducted and disseminated. New
technologies are radically changing the modes of research communication,
speeding up the research process, and facilitating new types of
research. However, this is also creating a whole host of challenges
for those involved in disseminating research. In a knowledge society,
where the dissemination of research is as important as its generation,
it is critical that Canada respond quickly to this transformation.
The study employed an innovative methodology, which drew on the
deliberations of a Consensus Panel of ten representative Canadian
researchers. Based on consultations with experts in the field,
the Consensus Panel calls for a national strategy on knowledge
dissemination. The Panel also identifies a research agenda for
knowledge dissemination based on five major themes: Knowledge Systems;
Knowledge/Data Storage and Retrieval; Knowledge Production and the Social
Contract; Power and Infrastructure within the Academy; Copyright and
Intellectual Property.
The study concludes with a set of recommendations for a national research
strategy on scholarly communication. The recommendations call for the
creation and implementation of a multi-disciplinary research program on
scholarly communication as a central component of an effective national
strategy for knowledge dissemination in Canada.

Association des bibliotheques du recherche du Canada
Ottawa, le 24 janvier 2005 – Une etude d’envergure revele la necessite
d’une strategie nationale de diffusion des connaissances au Canada
Le gouvernement consacre des milliards de dollars chaque annee a la
promotion de la recherche au Canada, mais il doit porter plus attention
a la facon dont les resultats de cette recherche sont diffuses dans la
societe. Il s’agit la de l’une seulement des conclusions d’une etude d’une
duree de trois ans sur la necessite de faire des recherches sur l’avenir
de la diffusion des connaissances au Canada parrainee par l’Association
des bibliotheques de recherche du Canada.
Dans leur rapport, intitule Towards an Integrated Knowledge Ecosystem :
a Canadian Research Strategy, les chercheurs decrivent la transformation
profonde de la facon dont la recherche est effectuee et diffusee qui
se produit actuellement. Les nouvelles technologies changent de facon
radicale les modes de communication de la recherche, accelerent le
processus de la recherche et facilitent la realisation de nouveaux types
de recherches. Cependant, elles creent aussi toute une foule de defis a
relever pour ceux dont la tache consiste a diffuser la recherche. Dans une
societe du savoir, ou la diffusion de la recherche est aussi importante
que sa production, il est essentiel que le Canada reagisse rapidement
a cette transformation.
Cette etude s’est servie d’une methodologie innovatrice, qui tire parti
des discussions d’un groupe de consensus forme de dix chercheurs canadiens
representatifs. S’appuyant sur des consultations avec des experts dans le
domaine, ce groupe de consensus demande que soit elaboree une strategie
nationale sur la diffusion des connaissances. Le groupe dresse aussi un
programme de recherche sur la diffusion des connaissances reparti en
cinq grands themes : les systemes de connaissances, le stockage et le
reperage des connaissances et des donnees, la production de connaissances
et le contrat social, le pouvoir et l’infrastructure dans le milieu
universitaire, ainsi que le droit d’auteur et la propriete intellectuelle.
Les auteurs concluent par un ensemble de recommandations pour une
strategie nationale de la recherche sur les communications savantes. Ces
recommandations demandent qu’un element central d’une strategie nationale
efficace de diffusion des connaissances au Canada soit la creation et
la mise en ouvre d’un programme de recherche multidisciplinaire.

About Shanghai:
Shanghai is the biggest city in China, and a harmonic mixture of
the traditional and the modern, the east and the west. Shanghai
has completely changed in the last decade.The great metropolis
of SHANGHAI is currently undergoing one of the fastest economic
expansions that the world has ever seen. While shops overflow and
the skyline fills with skyscrapers, Shanghai now seems certain
to recapture its position as East Asia’s leading business city,
a status it last held before World War II. Visiting and touring
Shanghai are truly enjoyable for many. For more information, see:
http://travel.yahoo.com/p-travelguide-191501624-shanghai_vacations-i
About Wuxi
Wuxi is a beautiful resort city near Shanghai. It is famous for
Taihu Lake, which is a major national scenic spot in China. It’s
the third largest fresh water lake in China, and the scenery
here is breathtaking. Xihui Park covers 46 hectares (113 acres)
and comprises of numerous gardens, teahouses, museums, temples
and pagodas. Among the more famous sights are the Tai Bo Memorial
Hall built in honor of the founder of Wuxi, the Imperial Stele
Pavilion with decorative ceilings and inscriptions by emperor
Qianlong (1736-1795) and the Municipal Museum which has a good
collection of early pottery. Giant Buddha Statue is another place

Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2005 13:18:25 -0500
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: May 15, 2005
———————————————————–
International Conference on Machine Intelligence Tozeur, Tunisia,
November 5-7, 2005 http://www.acidca-icmi2005.org
SCOPE: ———— Technological innovation is related to more than
one scientific field. Cooperation between researchers in different
scientific fields and industrials is nowadays inevitable.
The second International Conference on Machine Intelligence
(ACIDCA-ICMI’2005) will provide a forum for theoretician and practitioner
researchers, industrials, and academic experts to exchange ideas, share
experiences, promote technological products, and address the important
issue of the applications of advanced topics in machine intelligence in
engineering and industrial systems.
ACIDCA-ICMI’2005 will include exhibits and demonstrations of real-world
applications and will be a job fair by matching up applicants with
employment opportunities.
ACIDCA-ICMI’2005 will be organized into five tracks focusing on theory,
implementation and applications.
The tracks are:
* CI : Computational Intelligence
* IC : Intelligent Control
* IDA : Intelligent Data Analysis
* IPA : Intelligent Pattern Analysis
* ISA : Intelligent Systems Architectures
ACIDCA-ICMI’2005 will also include invited plenary speeches on selected
advanced aspects given by experts in the specific state-of-the art subject
areas. Invited special talks on major topics by eminent speakers will
be included in the technical sessions.
ACIDCA-ICMI’2005 will be held in the second part of the United Nations
sponsored World Summit on the Information Society circumstances,
which will take place in Tunisia in November 16-18, 2005 <
http://www.smsitunis2005.org/ >.
The venue for the ACIDCA-ICMI’2005 Conference will be Tozeur, Tunisia
< http://www.tourismtunisia.com/togo/tozeur/tozeur.html >. Tozeur a
prosperous town, was once, in its oases and mountains, one of the Roman
outposts named “Thusuros” and a stopping point for the caravans coming
from the sub Sahara to trade with the coastal cities of the Mediterranean,
it now owes its fame and affluence to the stately palm and its world
renowned dates – deglet nour “fingers of light”.
The conference will be held November 5-7, 2005 in Tozeur in south-western
Tunisia accessible by the international airport of Tozeur. The remarkable
architecture of Tozeur, beige sun baked bricks set in geometric patterns,
Moorish arches and high vaulted ceilings and the shops offering locally
woven carpets, Berber jewellery and ornaments, promise visitors another
aspect of Tunisia.
PUBLICATIONS AND AWARDS: ———————————————–
Selected papers, in extended form, will be considered for publication
in edited books and in international journals. ACIDCA-ICMI’2005 will
