First Announcement

Organizing Committee:

Tentative speakers:
Beresford Parlett, University of California at Berkeley
James Demmel, University of California at Berkeley
Ilse Ipsen, North Carolina State University
Hongyuan Zha, The Pennsylvania State University
Zlatko Drmac, University of Colorado at Boulder
Jesse Barlow, The Pennsylvania State University
Ivan Slapnicar, University of Split
Kresimir Veselic, Fernuniversitaet Hagen
The main theme is the accuracy in the EVD or SVD computation or even in solving linear systems. We will stress this to be a workshop and not overload the program with too many speakers. We rather prefer to give more time per speaker. We will therefore have invited lectures (one or two) in the morning, while the afternoon will be reserved for contributed lectures, including those from junior people, as well as for less formal discussions and working groups.

Possible general themes for discussion are:
(i) how to turn recent results on accurate algorithms systematically into a good software,
(ii) how to present them in a monograph,
(iii) how to let them influence the teaching of numerical linear algebra,
(iv) real world engineering problems.

In order to keep the local costs as low as possible, we expect to have a number of single and double bedrooms in a comfortable student dormitory located by the sea at a walking distance from the city center.

Split is a picturesque city with population around 200,000 which in this decade celebrates 1700 years of urban settlement. It is located on the Croatian Adriatic coast, the beauty of which is proverbial with its hundreds of islands and still quite unpolluted nature. Neither Split nor its neighborhood carry traces of the (we may now hope) definitely passed war in Croatia.

Split is accessible by train (9 hours trip from Zagreb), by ship (one night by ferry from Rijeka, Pescara or Ancona), by car (6 hours from Zagreb, 8 hours from Trieste), and by plane. Split airport has daily connections to all world destinations. There are direct flights from Dusseldorf, Frankfurt, and Rome on some days. All other connections are via Zagreb by Croatian Airlines.
INFORMATION FOR YOUR TRAVEL AGENT: the Croatia Airlines timetable is accessed through the AMADEUS Distributive System.
