Czech-U.S. Workshop on Iterative Methods and Parallel Computing,
June 16-21, 1997, Milovy , Czech Republic

Original postcript file (5 pages).

A Czech-U.S. Workshop on Iterative Methods and Parallel Computing will be held from June 16 to June 21, 1997 at the Devet Skal Hotel (literally "Nine Rocks") in Milovy . Milovy is a small village located in the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands (central part of the Czech Republic) at about 100 kilometers (65 miles) from Prague. A bus from Prague to Milovy will be arranged on June 15, at 4 p.m. and from Milovy on June 21, arrival to Prague at 12 a.m.

Scientific Programme:

The aim of the workshop is to bring together numerical analysts, specialists in numerical linear algebra and parallel computing, especially those interested in iterative methods and their applications in computational mathematics. The emphasis of the meeting will be on a ``workshop'', i.e., on work among the participants, with periods of free time for unstructured discussions. The preliminary program of the workshop is available.

Organizing Committee:

Ivo Marek (Charles University, Prague) (chairman)

Radim Blaheta (Academy of Sciences, Ostrava)

Jiri Holenda (University of West Bohemia, Pilsen)

Michal Krizek (Academy of Sciences, Prague)

Karel Segeth (Academy of Sciences, Prague)

Zdenek Strakos (Academy of Sciences, Prague)

Miroslav Tuma (Academy of Sciences, Prague)

Howard Elman (University of Maryland, College Park, MD)

Roland Freund (Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill, NJ)

Anne Greenbaum (Courant Institute, New York University, NY)

Daniel Szyld (Temple University, Philadelphia, PA)

Student and Recent Ph.D. Paper Competition for the
U.S.-Czech Workshop on Iterative Methods and Parallel Computing
June 16-21, 1997, Milovy, Czech Republic

Funds are available from NSF (U.S.) and the Czech Academy of Sciences to cover the expenses of a few graduate students or recent Ph.D. recipients from U.S. institutions to attend and present a paper at the U.S.-Czech Workshop on Iterative Methods and Parallel Computing, to be held on June 16-21, 1997, in Milovy, Czech Republic.

The aim of the workshop is to bring together numerical analysts, specialists in numerical linear algebra and parallel computing, especially those interested in iterative methods and their applications in computational mathematics. Milovy is a small village located in the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands (Central part of the Czech Republic) at about 100 kilometers (65 miles) from Prague. A full announcement can be found in the URL: http://www.math.temple.edu/~szyld/impc97.ps
