------------------------------------------------------------------------ Final Announcement and Call for Papers 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) This is the final announcement and call for papers for The 1988 Conference on the Numerical Solution of Initial-Value Problems for Ordinary Differential Equations to be held 20-24 June 1988 in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Toronto. To facilitate travel arrangements, the conference will close at noon of the final day. The language of the conference will be English. The previous conference in this series was held in Albuquerque in July of 1986, and its programme included talks on both Initial- Value Problems (IVPs) and Boundary-Value Problems (BVPs) for Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs). Because of the large number of researchers working in these two areas and the modest number of them active in both fields, we chose to emphasize IVPs at the Toronto meeting, although talks related to BVPs with a significant IVP content will not be excluded. There will be both 50-minute invited lectures and 30-minute contributed talks at the Toronto meeting. In addition, there will be ample time for informal discussion with colleagues. We are pleased to announce that the following distinguished researchers have accepted our invitation to speak at the conference: J. C. Butcher, P. Deuflhard, J. Dormand and P. J. Prince, C. W. Gear, R. Jeltsch, S. P. Norsett, and L. F. Shampine. We hope to attain a balance between the practical and theoretical aspects associated with the numerical solution of IVPs for ODEs in the talks at this conference. In part, the invited speakers were chosen with this in mind. We encourage participants to submit (preferably with their conference registration) a title, list of authors and their addresses, and abstract for a 30-minute contributed talk. These should be written in English, single spaced, at most one page in length, and suitable for photo-copying onto 8.5 by 11 inch paper for distribution in the form of a technical report to conference participants. No other form of publication is planned for this meeting. To enable us to inform authors by 1 May 1988 whether their paper has been accepted for presentation at the conference, the deadline for receiving titles and abstracts is 18 March 1988. By holding the meeting on the university campus, we have attempted to keep the conference registration fee to a minimum. However, please note that to take advantage of this, you must register before 13 May 1988. To do so, print and complete the enclosed form and mail it together with your registration fee to the address listed thereon. (Do not e-mail the form to me without payment.) We have reserved a block of reasonably-priced rooms at one of the university residences, a short walk of about 100 meters from the conference site. To reserve a room, print and complete the enclosed form and mail it together with your room deposit to the address listed thereon. (Again, do not e-mail the form to me without payment.) For those who prefer less Spartan accommodation, we have reserved a block of rooms at the Delta Chelsea Inn in downtown Toronto, about one kilometer from the conference site. Please find enclosed directions for making room reservations at the Inn. Although we believe that we have booked a sufficient number of rooms, please reserve early to avoid disappointment. We hope that there will be some funds available to defray the expenses of those with limited or no travel support. To apply for such assistance, include a letter with your registration form detailing the amount of assistance you require from us, and send your completed residence room reservation form to us rather than directly to Residence Services. Preference will be given to those applicants who will speak at the conference. We will hear by about mid March how large a grant we have been awarded. As soon as possible thereafter, we will inform you whether we are able to provide any travel assistance to you. This is the final general announcement for this conference. Further information will be sent to registrants only. Please circulate this announcement to interested colleagues. ================================ CUT HERE =================================== Conference Registration Form The 1988 Conference on the Numerical Solution of IVPs for ODEs To register for the conference, please print this form, complete it and mail it with your remittance to: Prof. K.
