I have recently been made aware that the CAIMS*SCMAI Fall Newsletter,
which was mailed out in late November, has not yet reached many members.
I believe the is a problem with Canada Post, possibly due to increased
mail during the holiday season. I do apologize for the delay and hope
hope that you will receive your Newsletter soon. In the meantime, however,
we have made the newsletter available electronically on the CAIMS*SCMAI
website: https://www.caims.ca//Society/Nwslttrs/59/
Membership renewal forms were sent with the Newsletters. If you do
wish to wait until they arrive to renew, you can download the form
from the caims website: https://www.caims.ca//Society/subscribe.html

The Canadian Applied Mathematics Quarterly
We have been working for three years to bring CAMQ up to date and
to get its finances in order, and that should be accomplished by
Summer, 2005. It seems appropriate to give members of CAIMS a full
overview of the journal’s past, its present status, and plans for
the future.
First, an apology. In the last CAIMS Newsletter, I had written
that the Butler Conference was in 2002–this was my error, the
conference was in 2003, hence there was no delay due to slowness
of the authors and/or referees as was stated in the newsletter.
Operating Structure of CAMQ
The constitution of the Applied Mathematics Institute of the
University of Alberta requires the AMI to publish a journal of
applied mathematics. Volume 1, Number 1 was published in 1993. The
AMI Director appoints the managing editors, and the AMI membership
approves the Editorial Board. The policy at present is to develop
the Editorial Board membership in cooperation with the Board
of Directors of CAIMS. The Editorial Board will be completely
reorganized in 2005.
All papers come to the CAMQ Office in Edmonton, and are sent to
appropriate members of the Editorial Board for evaluation by referees
of the editor’s choice. Most of this is done by e-mail and ftp. Full
hardcopy documentation is kept for each paper. Dana McCallum does the
secretarial work, at no cost to CAMQ or the AMI–her services are covered
by the Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences of the U of A.
When a paper is accepted, we try to get the authors to provide
TeX files of some sort. These are reformatted into each issue
by Ed and Elizabeth Leonard of our department. If the authors
cannot provide TeX files, we cover the cost of preparing them.
Once an issue is prepared, the proofs are sent by e-mail to the
authors for proofing. When all of the proofs are returned, the issue
is sent to our printer (currently Priority Printing, in Edmonton). The
managing editors do the proofing of the printer’s proofs. This can be
quite exciting—two recent issues were lacking minus signs and capital
gammas throughout (about 200 occurrences), and similar problems appear
on a regular basis, almost always related to font discrepancies at the
printer’s end of things.
Present managing editors of CAMQ are Bryant Moodie and Jack
Macki. Jack sits on the CAIMS Board of Directors and keeps the
Board updated on CAMQ’s affairs.
History
CAMQ was founded with the help of substantial startup grants
from the University of Alberta, CAIMS, and the Rocky Mountain
Mathematics Consortium (RMMC). The U of A is a charter member
of the RMMC, which has 24 members, with head office at Arizona
State University. The RMMC publishes three journals, of which
The Rocky Mountain J. Math. is the best known–this journal
makes sizable profit which the RMMC uses to promote mathematics
in the Rocky Mountain Region. The RMMC did the TeX editing and
printing for the first 7 volumes (= one year = four issues)
of CAMQ, plus volume 8 (2000) No. 1. The RMMC charged out TeX
editing and printing of CAMQ at about $20,000 U.S. per volume,
which meant that CAMQ was running a deficit of $15,000 U.S. per
year, covered by the RMMC.
Starting with volume 8, No. 2, production was moved to Canada.
Because the RMMC was sitting on production while they thought
we were dealing with the deficit (communication was dismal in
both directions), the journal was behind almost two full years.
The AMI agreed to provide CAMQ free of charge to the members of
the RMMC for the indefinite future as our way of showing our
appreciation for their years of financial backing. Because of
our inexperience in publishing a journal, we contracted with the
Canadian Mathematical Society’s excellent TeX editing service,
based in Winnipeg under Michael Doob. The printing was done by
a private firm, Quality Color, which had offices on our campus.
We were able to produce the journal for about $15,000 C per volume:
CMS editing was about $10,000, printing about $5,000, postage $500.
Present Status
We have now moved the TeX editing to Edmonton, as described above,
and are using a different printing firm. We are able to produce
one volume (four issues) of CAMQ for about $12,000 C.
We mail out 148 copies of each issue, roughly 65 institutional and 30
individual, the remainder to RMMC members and the Editorial Board.
The individuals pay $40 per year (they are all CAIMS members) and
institutions pay $205. There are still a few Canadian universities that
do not subscribe. The journal now pays its way, we have about $19,000 in
the bank (from subscriptions for upcoming volumes plus a sizable grant
from the Butler conference), and the AMI stands ready to provide help
if needed.
As of December 13, 2004, we have all of Volume 11(2003) at the
printer–well, not quite, we are waiting on one author for the
last number, we have proofed the printer’s output for numbers
1 and 2, while number 3 is due back from the printer any day
now for proofing. We had hoped to mail out all of Volume 11
as one mailing before Christmas, but it looks like it will
actually go some time in January. Volume 12(2004) is being
TeX edited during December and January, author proofing should
take place in February, with mail out in March. Again, we hope to
send out all four numbers in one package. At that time we will
finally be current. At that stage we will proceed with getting
the journal listed in the relevant citations journals, and also
mount a carefully targeted institutional subscription campaign.
We have agreed with the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical
Sciences that we will devote one issue each year to the reports
from the PIMS Industrial Problem Solving Workshops. This will
begin with Volume 12 (2004)–we already have the reports in hand,
thanks to outstanding work by Sean Bohun. We presently have 17
accepted papers waiting to be printed in Volumes 12 and 13, with
9 papers under review (excluding the PIMS IPSW reports). This,
with the IPSW reports, will take care of those two volumes,
plus a paper or two for Volume 14. Our rejection rate is very
high, about 40%, and if you check out the journal I think you
will approve of its high quality. We do emphasize applied and
industrial mathematics, so some papers are published not because
represent highly original mathematics, but because they
represent serious work on very tough real-world problems. The
other side of this coin is that we often send back excellent
papers that do not have significant applied interest. We need,
and have consistently received from many individuals, strong
support in the form of high quality papers from the Canadian
community in applied mathematics. We also need to have CAIMS
members check that their institution subscribes! Finally, we
welcome your input concerning editorial board membership–we
need to cover all modern areas of applied mathematics, and we
need individuals with high standards and a pro-active attitude.
Finally, we plan to eventually post all published papers on
the CAMQ website (presently we just post tables of contents),
accessible to all subscribers.

New Book Announcement: Applied Numerical Analysis
Billerica, MA. – Just published by WIT Press, this book by Matiur Rahman
of Dalhousie University, Canada, presents a clear and well-organized
treatment of the concepts behind the development of mathematics and
numerical techniques. Based on the authors notes from his one-semester
course taught at many universities around the world, it is primarily
intended for undergraduates in electrical, mechanical, chemical and
civil engineering, physics, applied mathematics and computer science.
Many sections are also directly relevant to graduate students in the
mathematical and physical sciences.
In this computer age, classical mathematics may sometimes appear less
relevant. However, a solid understanding of the underlying mathematics
is necessary in order to avoid gross errors in computer solutions.
The central topic of this text is numerical methods and the calculus of
variations to physical problems.
More than 100 solved problems with detailed derivations are included.
Approximately 120 exercises are also featured, together with solution
hints and answers. The book is accompanied by a CD-ROM.
Contents: Preface; Introduction; Ordinary Differential Equations;
Partial Differential Equations; Nonlinear Differential Equations and
Stability; The Calculus of Variations; Applications; Appendices;
Index.
Matiur Rahman’s previous WIT Press title Mathematical Methods with

*/Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery/**: A Special Issue on***
*Mining Multiple Data Sources: Local Pattern Analysis*
* *
Many large organizations have multiple data sources, such as different
branches of a multi-national company. Also, as the Web has emerged as a
large, distributed data repository, it is easy nowadays to access a
multitude of data sources. Therefore, companies must confront the
multiple data source mining problem. Mining local patterns at different
data sources and forwarding the local patterns (rather than the original
raw data) to a centralized place for global pattern analysis provides a
feasible way to deal with multiple data source problems. As such the
local patterns at each data source may be required for that data source
in the first instance, so knowledge discovery at each data source is
also important and useful.
/Local pattern analysis/ is an in-place strategy specifically designed
for mining multiple data sources, providing a feasible way to generate
globally interesting models from data in multidimensional spaces. With
local pattern analysis, one can better understand the distribution and
inconsistency of local/global data patterns, and develop
high-performance data mining systems to deal with multiple data sources
in which local patterns are fused to make global patterns.
Although the data collected from the Web brings us opportunities in
improving the quality of decisions, it generates a significant
challenge: how to efficiently identify quality knowledge from different
data sources and how to integrate them. This problem is difficult to
solve due to the facts that multiple data source mining is a procedure
of searching for useful patterns in multidimensional spaces; and putting
all data together from different sources might amass a huge database for
centralized processing and cause problems such as data privacy breaches,
data inconsistency, data conflict, and irrelevant data.
This special issue will provide a leading forum for timely, in-depth
presentation of progress in the theory and principles underlying local
pattern analysis for multiple data source mining.
*Topics of Interest *
We solicit papers on the following non-exhaustive list of topics
pertaining to multiple data source mining:
– Foundational issues
– Application case studies
– Data privacy issues
– Data cleansing, data preparation, data/pattern selection, conflict and
inconsistency resolution
– Data/pattern clustering, data source
classification
– Ontology
– Local pattern analysis and fusion
– Post-processing of local patterns
– Resource-bounded local pattern analysis

Call for Papers
First International Workshop on Modelling Complex Systems (MCS 2005)
http://www-ist.massey.ac.nz/rwang/conferences/MCS05.htm
in conjunction with and as a part of
The International Conference on Computational Science and its
Applications (ICCSA 2005), Singapore, May 9 – 12, 2005
All formatting instructions, the copyright form and the registration
form can be found at ICCSA 2005 web site. For conference venue
locations, special events, hotel booking and other related information
please consult http://www.iccsa.org/
Workshop Description
The workshop of Modelling Complex Systems will aim at both basic and
applied research on complex systems, with particular emphasis on
emergent behaviour. The investigation of nonlinear processes,
predictability and concepts such as order, complexity and information
interdependence inform our understanding of how complex systems behave
and may provide insight on the dynamics, development and control.
Examples of systems exhibiting complex and emergent behaviour may
include, but is not limited to the following:
. Biological systems
. Physical systems
. Social systems
. Financial systems
. Traffic ad transportation systems
. Information Systems
The workshop will provide an opportunity for researchers in different
disciplines to explore potential for cross-fertilization of ideas in
modelling complexity. CALL FOR PAPERS (PDF version available here)
Submission of Papers and Proceedings
Full papers of 6 to 10 pages (Letter or A4 paper) for oral presentation
are invited. Proceedings of the Workshop will be published in the
Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. All

Date: Sun, 7 Nov 2004 11:32:27 +0100
From: IPSI-2005 France and Spain <hawaii2005@vreme.yubc.net>
Dear potential speaker:
On behalf of the organizing committee, I would like to extend a cordial
invitation for you to attend one or both of the upcoming IPSI BgD
multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary conferences.
They take place on two consecutive weekends, in two nearby locations
(only about 200km away from each other, in the hills of France and on
the coast of Spain).
The first one will be in Carcassonne, France (near Toulouse):
IPSI-2005 FRANCE (Carcassonne is a UNESCO World Heritage City) Hotel
de la Cite (arrival: 23 April 05 / departure: 26 April 05) Deadlines:
20 December 04 (abstract) & 20 January 05 (full paper)
The second one will be in Costa Brava, Spain (near Barcelona):
IPSI-2005 SPAIN (S’Agaro is the Pearl of Costa Brava) Hostal de la Gavina
(arrival: 28 April 05 / departure: 1 May 05) Deadlines: 27 December 04
(abstract) / 27 January 05 (full paper)
All IPSI BgD conferences are non-profit. They bring together the elite
of the world of science; so far, we have had seven Nobel Laureates
speaking at the opening ceremonies. The conferences always take place in
some of the most attractive places of the world. All those who come to
IPSI conferences once, always love to come back (because of the unique
professional quality and the extremely creative atmosphere); lists of past
participants are on the web, as well as details of future conferences.
These conferences are in line with the newest recommendations of the US
National Science Foundation and of the EU research sponsoring agencies,
to stress multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary
research (M.I.T. research). The speakers and activities at the conferences
truly support this type of scientific interaction.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Internet * Computer
Science and Engineering * Mobile Communications/Computing for Science and
Business * Management and Business Administration * Education * e-Medicine
* e-Oriented Bio Engineering/Science and Molecular Engineering/Science *
Environmental Protection * e-Economy * e-Law * Technology Based Art and
Art to Inspire Technology Developments * Internet Psychology
If you would like more information on either conference, please reply
to this e-mail message.
If you plan to submit an abstract and paper, please let us know
immediately for planning purposes.
Sincerely Yours,
Prof. V. Milutinovic, Chairman IPSI BgD Conferences
