2002 CAIMS Doctoral Dissertation Award
Dear Colleague,
On behalf of the Canadian Applied and Industrial Mathematics Society,
I would like to bring to your attention the “Doctoral Dissertation
Award” competition for the year 2002.
The Award is meant to recognize an outstanding PhD thesis in Applied
Mathematics that is defended at a Canadian university during the
calendar year 2002. The award consists of a trophy, monetary prize, and
a free society membership. The winner will also be invited to present a
plenary talk at the 2003 Annual Meeting of the Society to be held in
Montreal (see http://www.siam.org/meetings/an03/index.htm). This year’s
meeting is also the first joint meeting between CAIMS and the Society
for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM).
Details of the award competition, judging, and nomination requirements
are available on the CAIMS web page at
https://www.caims.ca//Awards/DDaward.html
The deadline for completed applications is January 31, 2003.
Please pass on this information to your eligible graduate students, as
well as any of your colleagues who you think might have students who
would be excellent candidates for the award.

white paper of 210×297 mm size in such a way that the space for a text
should be 180×250 mm (right and left margins are 15 mm each, top one –
25 mm, bottom – 22 mm): the margin line should not actually be
indicated;
– text should be one and a half spaced and typed with a middle bold tape;
– the title of the paper is to be typed at the middle of the line in capital
letters;
– name of the author (authors) should be typed in the middle
in small letters; no degrees and post should be pointed;
– an affiliation, a city and a country are to be typed in small letters,
followed by e-mail address;
– the text is placed under e-mail;
– permissible volume of the abstract (1 pages) should be used in such
a way that a minimum spare place is left in the last page (not more
than 5-6 lines).
We do not use an electronic version of the abstract.
PROCEEDINGS: We plan to publish refereed Conference proceedings
including full versions of papers accepted for presentation.
TOURISTIC INFORMATION: St.-Petersburg is the central point of the
northwestern Russia. St.-Petersburg is the second most important
scientific and cultural center in Russia and is recognized as one of the
most beautiful cities in the world. It is situated on both banks of the
Neva River and on the coast of the Finnish Gulf. Many famous museums,
among which are the Hermitage and the Russian museum are located in St.-

INVITED SESSIONS
Based on past conferences experience, we suggest the following steps in
order to organize an invited session:
1)Identify a special topic in the scope of SCI 2003, and the invited
session title.
2) Fill the invited session organization form, provided in the conference
web page http://www.iiisci.org/sci2003/ and fill the respective form. If
by any reasons you are not able to access the page mentioned above, please,
try the following page: http://www.iiis.org/sci2003 . If you dont have
access to the web, please, contact the SCI 2003 Secretariat to the
following e-mails: jcastellano@iiis.org
3) If the identified topic is suitable, the General Chair will accept the
proposal, and you will receive an acceptation by e-mail, in few days. This
acceptation is not a final approval of the proposed session, but a
pre-approval. The final approval will depend on identifying at least five
papers for the proposed session and informing, at least, about their
titles. With this acceptation: a) the proposed session will be included in
the conference web page as well as its organizer and the chairs names, and
b) its organizer will be able to announce his/her invited session in the
context of SCI 2003, by any media that he/she thinks appropriated, such as:
Web page, hard copy call for papers, call for papers attached to e-mails, etc.
4) Contact researchers and/or practitioners in your field to see if they
can contribute a paper to your proposed session and attend at SCI 2003.
5) Collect the extended abstracts or the paper drafts from each prospective
participant.
6) Write a summary (1-2 page) with the main objectives, which must be
related to the invited/selected papers.
7) As soon as you have 5 papers, you will complete the form regarding the
invited session papers, provided in the conference web page
http://www.iiisci.org/sci2003/ or http://www.iiis.org/sci2003 .
8) Step 7 will take your invited session to the status of an approved one
if the papers fulfil all the requirements (i.e. quality). All the approved
invited sessions will be included in the SCI 2003 conference program.
9) In order to obtain a more diverse and variety opinions, do not accept
more than 2 papers from the same author, unless his/her co-author will be
the one who will present the additional paper.
