The Symposium is sponsored by the Fields Institute for the Mathematical Sciences, MITACS (Mathematics of Information Technology and Complex Systems), the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Waterloo, the Centre for Computational Mathematics in Industry and Commerce (U. Waterloo), and IMACS (International Association for Mathematics and Computers in Simulation).

FORMAT AND THEME

The conference will feature invited lectures, minisymposia, selected contributed papers and a paper competition for students and new PhDs. Topics targeted include but are not limited to:

• nonlinear systems
• large sparse linear systems
• large scale eigenproblem computations
• preconditioning
• multigrid and multilevel methods
• domain decomposition
• Krylov subspace methods
• linear and nonlinear optimization -- interior point methods -- complementarity and equilibrium problems
• integer and combinatorial optimization -- distributed computing -- decomposition methods
• high-performance and parallel computation
• applications such as - network flows - protein folding - blood flow - energy minimization - financial computation - computational fluid dynamics - image processing - internet search engines

• interdisciplinary research and
• open problems
