Update on First Joint NAMIAM 2010 (Bob Russell)

As you will hopefully recall from an earlier announcement CAIMS is, with its
Mexican and U.S. counterparts the Mexican Mathematical Society and SIAM, organizing
the First Joint North American Meeting on Industrial and Applied Mathematics, to
be held at the Universidad del Mar in Huatulco, Mexico on December 8-10, 2010.
The goal is to bring together applied mathematicians, computational scientists,
and students with interdisciplinary interests, from Canada, the United States,
and Mexico.
Among its purposes is the enhancement and strengthening of the academic relations
between the three counties with respect to applied and industrial mathematics.

The meeting as planned by our Mexican colleagues is to be centred around a number
of invited symposia, with their suggested topics being (1) Applied Probability and
Statistics, (2) Numerical Analysis and Linear Algebra,
(3) Optimization and Operation Research, (4) Biomathematics, (5) Oil, Weather and
Geo-science Modeling, (6) Computational Fluid Dynamics, (7) Financial Mathematics
and Economy, and (8) Inverse Problems and Control.
The Canadians who have graciously agreed to coordinate CAIMS portion of these
minisymposia are (1) David McDonald, (2) Chen Greif and Bob Russell,
(3) Patrice Marcotte, (4) Michael Mackey, (5) Nicholas Kevalahan, (6) Eliot Fried,
(7) Tom Salisbury, and (8) Uri Ascher and Huaxiong Huang.

In addition, there will be a General Session taking place in parallel to these
minisymposia and a Poster Session. It is hoped that CAIMS will be well-represented
in all of these sessions, and CRM, Fields, MITACS and PIMS have all generously
provided funding to help with travel expenses for Canadians. The conference is
an ideal opportunity for you, your students and postdocs to highlight research
activities and to learn about the state of the art in several active areas of
industrial and applied mathematics within North America. You are strongly
encouraged to participate.

Unfortunately, there is little time before the deadline for submitting abstracts
of June 27, 2010. For more information, visit the Conference web pages at:
http://www.smm.org.mx/namiam10/home

Thanks very much,
Bob Russell for the Canadian Steering Committee (which also includes Uri Ascher,
Barbara Keyfitz, and Michael Mackey)

in St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada on July 17-20, 2010.
The themes of the meeting are:

Dynamical Systems
Fluid Dynamics (CSFD-2010)
Mathematical Biology and Medicine
Mathematical and Theoretical Physics
Nonlinear Dynamics and Control
Ocean Modeling and Technology
Scientific Computing
Statistical and Population Genetics

There will be eight plenary lectures and numerous invited talks (20
minutes) on the above themes, and two special invited lectures.

Plenary Speakers:

Anthony Bloch (University of Michigan)
Marianna Braza (L’Institut de Mcanique des Fluides de Toulouse)
William F. Langford (University of Guelph)
Robert M. Miura (New Jersey Institute of Technology)
Bernard Molin (Ecole Centrale Marseille)
Bruno Nachtergaele (University of California at Davis)
Robert D. Russell (Simon Fraser University)
Elizabeth A. Thompson (University of Washington, Seattle)
Michael J. Ward (University of British Columbia)

In addition to these, we also call for minisymposia on any topics in
applied mathematics with a deadline being May 1, 2010. If you wish to
organize a Minisymposium, please send the name of the
organizer(s) and participants, their affiliation and e-mail contact
information and titles of the talks to one of the co-chairwomen of
the CAIMS*SCMAI 2010 Scientific Program by the address given below.

There will also be several contributed sessions, as well as a poster
session for graduate students to present their research results.

In the meeting, the annual CAIMS*SCMAI Research Prizes and CAIMS
Doctoral Dissertation Award will be presented to the recipients.
In addition, student poster prizes will also be selected and awarded.

CAIMS*SCMAI Online Memberships and Renewals (by Lucy Campbell)

We are pleased to announce that we now have an online facility to
allow CAIMS membership renewals and new membership applications to
be done online through a secure server. We invite you to renew your
membership for 2010 through this facility and to encourage potential
new members to use it to sign up for membership.

There is a link to the online system on the CAIMS main pages www.caims.ca/
and www.scmai.ca and it can be accessed directly at www.regonline.ca/CAIMS

The first time you sign in, even if you are already a member of CAIMS,
you will have to create a profile and password for the online system,
which you will use for subsequent sign-ins. Once you finish the registration
to join or renew your membership, a link will be sent to you so you can print
out an invoice. If you have any questions concerning the functionality of
the system, please direct them to the email address given on the first page,
with cc to the chair of the membership committee, Lucy Campbell
<campbell@math.carleton.ca>

We are grateful to MITACS for providing us with this facility and
helping us to set it up. Thanks also to Joshua Dobbs of MITACS and our
treasurer Paul Muir who have put a lot of work into it in the past few months.
