This meeting is the eleventh in a series, previously called the Gatlinburg Symposia. It has been agreed to rename all subsequent Gatlinburg Symposia to honor Alston S. Householder, one of the pioneers in Numerical Linear Algebra and organizer of the first four Gatlinburg meetings. The meeting is an international conference of experts in the field of Numerical Algebra. The format of the meeting is a sequence of invited papers during the day and special workshops organized by the participants in the evening. There is no formal program, but traditionally a few topics are emphasized. For this meeting they will be large scale nonsymmetric linear algebra problems, least squares, and matrix inertia and stability. The meeting is being organized by the Householder committee, in co-operation with the SIAM Activity Group on Linear Algebra and the International Linear Algebra Society (ILAS). Chairman of the committee for this meeting, and in charge of the local organization is Ake Bjorck of Linkoping University, Sweden. The traditional format of the Householder Symposia requires that the attendance is limited. The organizing committee invites all qualified persons to apply to attend. The application should consist of a vita and an extended abstract (about two pages) of a paper you would present if invited to speak. The latter will be used by the committee in planning the program. Material should be sent before November 1, 1989 to Ake Bjorck Department of Mathematics Linkoping University S-581 83 Linkoping, SWEDEN The Gatlinburg Conferences are international workshops on the theoretical and numerical aspects of linear algebra and its application. They were started by Alston S. Householder and initially held at Gatlinburg, Tennessee, approximately once every three years. After the first four meetings it was decided to hold the conferences under the same name at varying locations. The custom has become to have every third meeting in Europe. For a review of the earlier meetings see an article in SIAM Review [1977]. A complete list of previous meetings is given below: I. April 1961 Gatlinburg, Tennessee A. S. Householder II. October 1963 Gatlinburg, Tennessee F. Olver III. April 1964 Gatlinburg, Tennessee A. S. Householder IV. April 1969 Gatlinburg, Tennessee A. S. Householder V. April 1972 Los Alamos, New Mexico A. S. Householder VI. December 1974 Hopfen am See, Germany F. L. Bauer VII. December 1977 Asilomar, California G. H. Golub VIII.July 1981 Oxford, England J. H. Wilkinson IX. July 1984 Waterloo, Canada J. A. George X. October 1987 Fairfield Glades, Tennessee G. W. Stewart The Gatlinburg meetings brings together theoreticians, numerical analysts, and application researchers from all over the world. During the day, there are lectures (no parallel sessions) by people judged to be doing especially interesting work in their areas. In the evenings, the participants organize special sessions or minisymposia over areas of current interest. Traditionally the interaction is very open and intense, and many workers attribute some of their best results to ideas that originated at a Gatlinburg conference. The meetings have played an important part in the evolution of scientific computing, and it is hard to overstate the role these conferences have played in fostering and sustaining international cooperation in numerical algebra. Attendance at the Gatlinburg Conferences is by invitation, and procedures have been devised that hopefully insure that a fair selection is made. It is anticipated that 100-120 people will be invited to the present meeting. Even though several open meetings are held in linear algebra, these conferences are unique in that here the best people in the field from all countries have a chance to get together and interact informally. Hotel Tylosand is situated by the sea on the west coast of Sweden. The hotel has recently been renovated and modernized and is a conference center of the best international class. The location is removed from any big cities and offers excellent opportunities for physical exercise. Room and buffet breakfast is approximately $65 single and $60 double occupancy. It is hoped that the meeting can be run with the same modest registration fee $50 as the previous meeting at Fairfield Glades. ==================================================================== Reposted by Prof. Kenneth R.
