8- XVI International Conference on Hyperbolic Problems: Theory, Numerics, Application, August 1-5, 2016 in Aachen (Germany)
(source : O.S. Serea)

The objective of the conference is to bring together scientists with
interests in the theoretical, applied, and computational aspects of hyperbolic partial differential equations and of related mathematical
models that appear in applied sciences.

The conference was first held 1986 in St. Etienne (France) and has
been organized since then biennially at different locations all over
the world: 2014 Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), 2012 Padua (Italy), 2010 Beijing (China), 2008 College Park (U.S.A.), 2006 Lyon (France), etc.

In keeping with the tradition, the conference consists of plenary and
invited lectures, as well as contributed talks and poster presentations.
These will represent all three aspects of the field: theory, numerics and applications. As has been done in the past, a special effort will be made to enable young scientists to attend the conference and to meet and interact with the more senior researchers.

Registration for the conference is available now at the website http://www.hyp2016.de.

We urge all interested participants to register and to submit their
proposals for contributed talks or poster presentations at their earliest convenience. For full consideration, abstracts should be submitted not later than April 15, 2016.

Please have a look at the webpage for additional information and forward
this announcement to people who might be interested in the conference. Hope to seeing you in Aachen next year.

9- The 10th International Conference on Optimization: Techniques and Applications, July 23-26, 2016, Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia
(source : I. Tseveendorj)

The first two ICOTA conferences were held in Singapore in 1987 and 1992, respectively. After which, ICOTA has become an important conference series run by a steering committee. The third ICOTA conference was held in Chengdu in 1995, and the fourth ICOTA was held in Perth in 1998. The fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth ICOTA were held, respectively, in Hong Kong in 2001, Ballarat in 2004, Kobe in 2007, Shanghai in 2010, and Taipei in 2013.

The ICOTA conference series is an official conference series of The
Pacific Optimization Research Activity Group (POP). Like previous ICOTA
conferences, the goal of the 10th ICOTA is to provide an international
forum for scientist, researchers, software developers, and practitioners
to exchange ideas and approaches, to present research findings and
state-of-the-art solutions, to share experiences on potentials and
limits, and to open new avenues of research and development, on all
issues and topics related to optimization and its applications.

Topics in the 10th ICOTA include, but not limited to, those listed in the following:

Optimization theory and numerical algorithms: linear programming, nonlinear programming, integer programming, network programming,
semi-definite programming, stochastic programming, dynamic programming,
optimal control, global optimization, nonsmooth optimization, semi-infinite programming, multi-objective optimization, variational
inequalities, complementarity problems, mathematical programs with
equilibrium constraint.

Algorithm: design, analysis, implementation of traditional mathematical
programming methodology, modern techniques such as meta-heuristic for
combinatorial and continuous optimization.

Application: engineering, nonlinear systems, stochastic system control,
data/text mining from large databases, intelligent information and
technology, systems science, knowledge management, information and
communication networks, transportation, scheduling, logistics, finance,
game theory, industrial engineering, management science, operations
research.

Publication details:

All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed by referees. Papers accepted
for presentation in the conference will be included in the conference
proceedings, while outstanding papers will be invited for publications
in specialissues of several prestigious international journals.

Important dates:

Deadlinefor extended abstract submission : May 31, 2016
Notification ofacceptance: June 20, 2016

11- Triste nouvelle : décès de Bernard Prum
(source : F. Alabau)

Chers membres de la SMAI,

J'ai l'immense tristesse de vous faire part du décès de notre collègue et ami Bernard Prum, survenu le mercredi 21 octobre à l'âge de 69 ans.

Bernard Prum a été secrétaire général de la SMAI de 1995 à 1998, responsable du groupe MAS de 2002 à 2006, membre du Conseil d'administration de la SMAI plusieurs années et un membre très actif et très apprécié de notre communauté.

Ses obsèques auront lieu à partir du vendredi 23 octobre. L'inhumation sera faite le jeudi 29 octobre au cimetière de Thonon-les-Bains.

Bien amicalement,

Fatiha Alabau
Présidente de la SMAI
