CAIMS*SCMAI 2010 Annual Meeting (Serpil Kocabiyik and Sharene Bungay)
The 2010 Annual Meeting of the Canadian Applied Mathematical and Industrial
Society will be hosted by the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at
Memorial University, 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.

For more information about this meeting, please visit the website:

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.
