Final Announcement for The 1988 Conference on the Numerical Solution of IVPs for ODEs to be held 20-24 June 1988 at the University of Toronto Organized by Professors Wayne Enright and Ken Jackson, Department of Computer Science, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5S 1A4. (enright@csri.toronto.edu or krj@csri.toronto.edu) The Conference. Currently we have scheduled five 50-minute invited lectures and sixty-two 30-minute contributed talks at "The 1988 Conference on the Numerical Solution of IVPs (Initial-Value Problems) for ODEs (Ordinary Differential Equations)" to be held 20-24 June 1988 in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Toronto. In addition, there will be ample time for informal discussion with colleagues at the meeting. The invited speakers are: J. C. Butcher, P. Deuflhard, J. Dormand and P. J. Prince, C. W. Gear and L. F. Shampine. (Regrettably, the other two invited speakers, R. Jeltsch and S. P. Norsett, are not able to attend.) The programme for the conference is listed below. Abstracts for all talks will be distributed at the meeting. To facilitate travel arrangements, the conference will close at noon of the final day. The language of the conference will be English. There will be several other large conferences in Toronto -- including the Economic Summit -- at the same time as our meeting. Therefore, if you have not already reserved accommodation for the conference, we recommend that you do so as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. The final date for submitting a paper to the conference has long past. However, if you wish to attend the conference, you can register at the meeting. If you are from out of town, though, be sure to reserve accommodation. Although we are now long past the deadlines, it may still be possible to book a room at either Whitney Hall or the Delta Chelsea Inn. See the instructions below. The Conference Location. The site of the conference is the University's downtown (St. George) campus. All technical sessions will be held in the Sandford Fleming Building (sometimes called the Sandford Fleming Laboratory), 10 King's College Rd., at the south end of the campus. The main lecture room for the conference is SF1105 on the main floor, east side of the Sandford Fleming Building. Those of you staying in residence accommodation will be housed in Whitney Hall, 85 St. George St., located about 100 meters north of the Sandford Fleming Building. The Delta Chelsea Inn is about a kilometer east of the Sandford Fleming Building at 33 Gerrard St. W. A map showing the locations of all these buildings is available upon request. Toronto. Those of you who have not been in Toronto recently will notice many exciting changes. The cosmopolitan flavour of the city is reflected in the thriving Chinese, Italian, Greek and West Indian communities, to mention only a few. The city has an excellent reputation for fine international cuisine. There is a wide variety of restaurants suiting every taste and pocketbook, from elegant dining rooms to fast-food deli counters. For avid walkers, there are many pleasant strolls around the campus and the numerous parks and gardens nearby in the city. Sites worth seeing include the Royal Ontario Museum, the McLaughlin Planetarium, the Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art (all on the east side of the University campus), the Art Gallery of Ontario (a few blocks south of the campus), Harbourfront and Ontario Place (both on the lakeshore), The Science Centre (a few kilometers north-east of the campus), as well as the McMichael Canadian Collection (art of "The Group of Seven") and the internationally acclaimed Metropolitan Toronto Zoo (both on the outskirts of Metropolitan Toronto). And of course, there are many shops and boutiques close to the University campus. In addition, Niagara Falls is about 130 km south-west of Toronto; the Shaw Festival Theatre is located a short drive from the Falls in the historic and picturesque town of Niagara-On-The-Lake; and the Shakespearean Festival Theatre is located in Stratford, Ontario, about 150 km west of Toronto. More information about the city and the surrounding areas will be included in your conference registration package. The average high for Toronto in mid June is about 25C (78F), the average low about 15C (59F), with inclement weather being uncommon. However, the temperature is quite variable at this time of year, and may be considerably warmer or cooler than these averages suggest. On-Site Registration. The on-site registration for the meeting will take place in the Atrium outside room SF1105 on the main floor, east side of the Sandford Fleming Building on Sunday, June 19, from 19:30 to 21:00, Monday, June 20, from 8:15 to 9:00, and every other morning of the conference from 8:30 to 9:00. In addition to registration on the Sunday evening, there will be an informal gathering with light refreshments for conference participants and their guests in the Atrium of the Sandford Fleming Building. If you have registered for the conference, but are not able to come, please inform us of this -- particularly if you have submitted a paper -- so that we can remove your name from the programme. We will refund your conference registration fee if informed before June 10 of your inability to attend the conference. Contact Whitney Hall or the Delta Chelsea Inn directly for a refund of your room deposit. Transportation. Both the University campus and the Delta Chelsea Inn are about a half-hour drive from the Lester B. Pearson International Airport. Taxi or Airport-Limousine fare to either is about $25-30 (Cdn), independent of the number of passengers in the vehicle. Alternatively, there is frequent bus service (every 20 minutes from 5:25 to 22:45) from the airport to the downtown hotels, including the Delta Chelsea Inn. The cost per person is $7.50 (Cdn) one-way or $12.50 (Cdn) return. Unfortunately, there is no direct bus service between the airport and the University campus. You could, though, o take the airport bus to the the Delta Chelsea Inn, o walk a block north from the Inn to College Street, o walk or take the street-car west about a kilometer to St. George St., o and then walk about 100 meters north on St. George St. to Whitney Hall. Alternatively, you could o take an airport bus to the Islington Subway Station, o take the subway east to the St. George Subway Station, o and then walk about 200 meters south on St. George St. to Whitney Hall. The second alternative is cheaper -- $4.00 (Cdn) one-way or $6.50 return for the airport bus; both the subway and the streetcar cost $1.05 (Cdn) for a single ride or eight tickets or tokens (each good for one ride) for $7 (Cdn). However, the bus service to the Islington Subway Station is less frequent -- about every 40 minutes from 7:00 to 00:30. By the way, there are 24-hour money exchanges in the Toronto airport; I believe they offer competitive rates. Please circulate this announcement to interested colleagues. ===================================================================== Tentative Programme for The 1988 Conference on the Numerical Solution of IVPs for ODEs If you notice any errors in the tentative programme or if your travel plans prevent you from being able to speak when we have scheduled you, please let us know as soon as possible.
