Subject: Photos from SCAN 2008

Dear Vladik,

the pictures I took at the SCAN conference are available at

http://iamlasun8.mathematik.uni-karlsruhe.de/~ae16/albums/scan2008/

For people who want to download all files, a tgz file has been placed at

http://iamlasun8.mathematik.uni-karlsruhe.de/~ae16/albums/

The pictures will be available for about four weeks. Please forward this

email to all participants of SCAN 2008.

Best regards,

Markus

[Reliable Computing] FW: FUZZ-IEEE'09

Dear Friends, 

Traditionally, due to close relations between fuzzy and interval
computations, these conferences welcome interval sessions. 

I myself am most probably unable to attend in 2009, but if there is an
interest in organizing such a session, please submit a proposal to the
organizers by December 1. 

I am sending a copy of this message to Sergey Shary, he may be able to
attend this conference and thus may be able to organize this session. 

Good thing about these conferences is that they published pre-conference
proceedings in highly readable IEEE database to which many people have
access, so papers published in IEEE conferences are highly visible. 

At a post-SCAN'08 workshop, we have discussed this and decided that
interval participation in such conferences should be highly encouraged,
since this provides us with additional contacts, gives us extra
visibility, and helps establish good and productive collaborations. 

Vladik

[Reliable Computing] interval mini in Poland in 2009: P.S.

P.S. Re mini-symposium on Interval Analysis at the International
Conference on Parallel Processing and Applied Mathematics PPAM'09 in
Wroclaw, Poland, September 13-16, 2009.

Dr. Bartlomiej Kubica, one of the main organizers of the similar 2007
symposium, kindly agreed to take a lead in organizing this symposium too
(hopefully, with the help of other 2007 co-organizers). He has helped
promote this event at SCAN'08. Many thanks to Dr. Kubica, and hope to
see you in Wroclaw next year!

[Reliable Computing] Reliable Computing journal

Dear Friends, 

This is just FYI, re Reliable Computing journal. 

We are still discussing the new arrangement, the official announcement
will be made in a month. 

R. Baker Kearfott kindly agreed to serve as the journal's new
Editor-in-Chief. He will be making an official announcement in a month
or so. 

Many thanks to Slava Nesterov for all his tireless efforts in leading
our journal. 

Yours

[Reliable Computing] a new book with a strong emphasis on interval methods

The following book describes complex interval arithmetic and new
techniques that use this arithmetic to produce guaranteed estimates for
the roots.
************************************************************************
*****************
Miodrag Petkovic, "Point Estimation of Root Finding Methods", Springer
Lecture Notes in Mathematics, Vol. 1933, 2008 

Product Description

This book sets out to state computationally verifiable initial
conditions for predicting the immediate appearance of the guaranteed and
fast convergence of iterative root finding methods. Attention is paid to
iterative methods for simultaneous determination of polynomial zeros in
the spirit of Smale's point estimation theory, introduced in 1986. Some
basic concepts and Smale's theory for Newton's method, together with its
modifications and higher-order methods, are presented in the first two
chapters. The remaining chapters contain the recent author's results on
initial conditions guaranteeing convergence of a wide class of iterative
methods for solving algebraic equations. 

These conditions are of practical interest since they depend only on
available data, the information of a function whose zeros are sought and
initial approximations. The convergence approach presented can be
applied in designing a package for the simultaneous approximation of
polynomial zeros.

[Reliable Computing] SCAN'08: results of processing evaluation forms

Dear Friends, 

Many thanks to those SCAN'08 participants who filled the evaluation
forms. We have just finished processing them. 

Your feedback is very helpful, especially your suggestions which may
help in organizing future meetings. 

Here are the suggestions:

* several participants suggested that it is better to have fewer
parallel sections, and to distribute talks more equally over 5 days 

* another recurring suggestion was that not much time was left for
questions and discussions; it is better to explicitly allocate time for
questions in the program

* it would be good to use recyclable dishes for the meals 

* it is desirable to have confirmation of early registration as soon as
possible

* finally, an important suggestion: "interval" as a term should be
mentioned either in the scope or in the title of the conference; we have
so much interval in our talks and results 

(This was clearly our oversight, we apologize - VK). 

Thanks again.

[Reliable Computing] SCAN'08 is over

Dear Friends, 

1) Today was the last day of SCAN'08, our major interval conference.
Many thanks to those who participated! 

We had more than 100 attendees from all over the world. 

2) A softcopy of the conference's book of abstracts is available at the
conference website http://www.scan2008.com click on Abstracts then on
Book of Abstracts, or directly at
http://www.cs.utep.edu/interval-comp/scan08.pdf 

We have a few hardcopies left (5 to 10, we need to count), if anyone is
interested, let us know, we will send you a hardcopy.  

3) Slides for a large number of talks are posted online, you can access
them from the conference website http://www.scan2008.com click on
Detailed Program, there are links to presentations from many talks.
Alternatively, you can access this program directly, at
http://www.cs.utep.edu/interval-comp/programScan08.html 

Some more presentations will be posted later. 

4) The next SCAN conference will be, as originally planned, in Lyon,
France, in September-October 2010. 

5) We have also decided that SCAN'2012 will be held in Novosibirsk,
Russia. 

Many many thanks to Professors Sergey Shary and Yuri Shokin for

[Reliable Computing] FW: PPAM 2009: mark your calendars

Forwarding. Vladik

-----Original Message-----
From: Roman Wyrzykowski [mailto:roman@...] 

Dear Colleagues,

Just now we start organizing the next PPAM conference (International
Conference
on Parallel Processing and Applied Mathematics) which will take place in
Wroclaw (Poland) on Sept. 13-16, 2009.

...

Based on success of the previous Minisymposium (MS) on Interval Analysis
held at PPAM 2007 in Gdansk, we plan to organize the
Second MS on this topic. 

I think such events are very important for
promoting the idea of interval methods.

Kindest regards,
Roman Wyrzykowski
Chair of PPAM 2009

[Reliable Computing] Russian-language interval website

Dear Friends, 

This is FYI, there is a Russian-language website 
http://www.nsc.ru/interval on Interval Analysis and Its Applications.

I have just added a link to it to the Interval Research Groups part
http://www.cs.utep.edu/interval-comp/icompwww.html of the interval
computations website http://www.cs.utep.edu/interval-comp 

Many thanks to Sergey Shary for maintaining this website.
