None of them seem directly applicable to DM, but I pass them on. Typically, the volumes will be a few months apart. Just a reminder: The URL for the newsletter archive is http://orion.math.iastate.edu/rymartin/dm-net.html -- Ryan ================================================================= 2. *** CALL FOR NOMINATIONS - SIAM/ACM Prize in CSE *** ------ SIAM/ACM Prize in CSE - DEADLINE APPROACHING - September 30 The SIAM/ACM Prize in Computational Science and Engineering is awarded biennially in the area of computational science in recognition of outstanding contributions to the development and use of mathematical and computational tools and methods for the solution of science and engineering problems. It is intended to recognize either one individual or a group of individuals for outstanding research contributions to the field of CSE. The contribution(s) for which the award is made must be publicly available and may belong to any aspect of computational science in its broadest sense. The prize will be awarded at the SIAM Conference on Computational Science and Engineering (CSE07), February 19-23, 2007, in Costa Mesa, California. The award will include a total cash prize of $5,000 and a certificate containing the citation. SIAM will reimburse reasonable travel expenses to attend the award ceremony. A letter of nomination, including description of the contribution(s), should be addressed to Dr. John B. Bell, Chair, SIAM/ACM Prize in CSE Committee, and sent by SEPTEMBER 30, 2006, to J. M. Littleton, littleton@siam.org. Inquiries should be addressed to littleton@siam.org. More information and calls for nominations for SIAM prizes can be found at www.siam.org/prizes/nominations.php. ================================================================= 3. *** CALL FOR NOMINATIONS - Jurgen Moser Lecture *** ------ Jurgen Moser Lecture - DEADLINE APPROACHING - October 2 The SIAM Activity Group on Dynamical Systems Jurgen Moser Lecture is awarded to a person who has made distinguished contributions to nonlinear science. The term "nonlinear science" includes dynamical systems theory and its applications, as well as experiments and computations/simulations. The SIAM Activity Group on Dynamical Systems (SIAG/DS) will present the award at the SIAM Conference on Applications of Dynamical Systems (DS07) to be held May 28 - June 1, 2007, at Snowbird, Utah. The award will include a certificate, a $500 prize, and an invitation to give a plenary lecture at the conference. In addition to reimbursement for reasonable travel expenses, the prize winner will also receive a $500 honorarium for the lecture. Nominations should be addressed to Professor Eric Kostelich, Chair, Jurgen Moser Lecture Committee and sent by OCTOBER 2, 2006, to J. M. Littleton at littleton@siam.org. Inquiries should be addressed to littleton@siam.org. Complete calls for nominations for SIAM prizes can be found at www.siam.org/prizes/nominations.php. ================================================================= 4. *** CALL FOR NOMINATIONS - Peter Henrici Prize *** ------ The Peter Henrici Prize is awarded every four years jointly by ETHZ and SIAM for original contributions to applied analysis and numerical analysis and/or for exposition appropriate for applied mathematics and scientific computing. The award is intended to recognize broad and extended contributions to these subjects, more than a single outstanding work. The Henrici Prize will be awarded at ICIAM 07 to be held July 16-20, 2007, in Zurich, Switzerland. The award will include a certificate containing the citation, a cash award of $2500, and an invitation to present a lecture at the meeting. Reasonable travel expenses for attendance at the meeting will also be reimbursed. Nominations, including a C.V. and up to six (6) letters of support, should be addressed to Professor Beresford Parlett, Chair, Peter Henrici Prize Selection Committee, and sent by October 15, 2006, to J. M. Littleton, littleton@siam.org. Inquiries should be addressed to littleton@siam.org. More information and calls for nominations for SIAM prizes can be found at www.siam.org/prizes/nominations.php. ================================================================= 5. *** CALL FOR NOMINATIONS - J. D. Crawford Prize *** ------ The SIAM Activity Group on Dynamical Systems J. D. Crawford Prize is awarded every two years for recent outstanding work on a topic in dynamical systems and nonlinear science, as evidenced by a publication in English in a peer-reviewed journal within the four calendar years preceding the award date. The term "nonlinear science" includes dynamical systems theory and its applications, as well as experiments and computations/simulations. For the 2007 award, the publication must bear an electronic publication date within the calendar years, 2003-2006. The SIAM Activity Group on Dynamical Systems (SIAG/DS) will present the award at the SIAM Conference on Applications of Dynamical Systems (DS07) to be held May 28 - June 1, 2007, at Snowbird, Utah. The award will include a plaque and a cash award of $750. SIAM will reimburse the recipient's travel expenses to attend the conference and receive the award. Nominations, including a CV, should be addressed to Dr. Tasso Kaper, Chair, J. D. Crawford Prize Committee and sent by October 15, 2006, to J. M. Littleton at littleton@siam.org. Inquiries should be addressed to littleton@siam.org. Complete calls for nominations for SIAM prizes can be found at www.siam.org/prizes/nominations.php. ================================================================= 6. *** CALL FOR NOMINATIONS - John von Neumann Lecture *** ------ The John von Neumann Lecture, established in 1959, is awarded for outstanding and distinguished contributions to the field of applied mathematical sciences and for the effective communication of these ideas to the community. The prize will be awarded at ICIAM 07, 16-20 July, 2007, in Zurich, Switzerland. The recipient will receive a monetary award of $3,000 and will be requested to present a plenary survey lecture at the meeting. A letter of nomination and a brief C.V. should be addressed to Professor Martin Golubitsky, Chair, The John von Neumann Selection Committee, and sent by OCTOBER 23, 2006, to J. M. Littleton at littleton@siam.org. Inquiries should be addressed to littleton@siam.org. More information and calls for nominations for SIAM prizes can be found at www.siam.org/prizes/nominations.php. ================================================================= 7. *** CALL FOR NOMINATIONS - Ralph E. Kleinman Prize *** ------ The Ralph E. Kleinman Prize is awarded to an individual for outstanding research or other contributions that bridge the gap between mathematics and applications. Work that uses high-level mathematics and/or invents new mathematical tools to solve applied problems from engineering, science, and technology is particularly appropriate. The prize may be awarded for a single notable achievement or for a collection of such achievements. The prize will be awarded at the SIAM Conference on Applications of Dynamical Systems (DS07) to be held May 28 - June 1, 2007, at Snowbird, Utah. The award will consist of a certificate and a cash award of $5,000. SIAM will reimburse reasonable travel expenses for the recipient to attend the award ceremony. Nominations, including a letter of nomination, CV, and up to two (2) letters of support, should be addressed to Professor Gregory A. Kriegsmann, Chair, Ralph Kleinman Prize Committee and sent by November 1, 2006, to J. M. Littleton at littleton@siam.org. Inquiries should be addressed to littleton@siam.org.
