NA Digest Tuesday, May 19, 1987 Volume 87 : Issue 44 This weeks Editor: Gene Golub Today's Topics: 1988 Conference on Numerical Methods for IVPs for ODEs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mail-From: GOLUB created at 19-May-87 10:16:46 Date: Tue, 19 May 87 10:45:09 EDT From: wilson@ornl-msr.arpa (D G Wilson) To: golub@Navajo.Stanford.EDU ReSent-Date: Tue 19 May 87 10:16:46-PDT ReSent-From: Gene H. Golub <GOLUB@Score.Stanford.EDU> ReSent-To: na@Score.Stanford.EDU PROJECT LEADER, SCIENTIFIC SOFTWARE SUPPORT PROJECT The Scientific Software Support Project maintains a high level of expertise and awareness about state-of-the-art mathematical algorithms and software and offers advice and consulting support on these topics to computer users at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Participation in research projects in numerical analysis, computer science and scientific computing at the ORNL is available but not required. Responsibilities associated with this position include: Maintaining an awareness of current research and development work in mathematical software. Providing a consulting service for computer users at the ORNL about algorithms, numerical methods and software. (This service is limited to giving advice and verbal, or possibly written, suggestions, programming is NOT included.) Evaluating and selecting software appropriate for the hardware available at the ORNL (including: CRAY X/MP, two IBM 3033's, two VAX 8600's, INTEL hypercube, SEQUENT, numerous VAX 780's and other mini's and micro's) and applicable to the problems confronted by computer users at the ORNL. Acquiring and maintaining a library of state-of-the-art mathematical software. Organizing the software and its documentation, including insights gained in the evaluation process, to maximize the utility and effectiveness of the library and to minimize the users' discomfort in using it. Maintaining and extending existing automated tools available to assist users in selecting appropriate software. Coordinating the work of two numerical analysts and a co-op student in fulfilling the responsibilities outlined above. This is a high visibility position. The ideal candidate would possess a Ph. D. in computer science or mathematics with a strong orientation toward numerical analysis and scientific computing. Superior oral and written communications skills are required.

We expect from 50 to 100 participants. The main purpose of this note is to inform the NA community of the dates for this conference so that those who are interested can note it in their calendars and also so as to avoid conflicts with other meetings that might be scheduled at this time. More information about this meeting will be distribute over NA-Net as our plans develop. If you plan to attend, please send me your name, address, and e-mail address. This will help us estimate how many participants to expect. Also, we'll place your name on our direct-mailing list.
