We are announcing the start of a new electronic newsletter:
CAGD NEWS. The newsletter is sponsored by the SIAM Special
Interest Activity Group on Geometric Design. CAGD NEWS is
intended as a source of information about happenings and
activities in the geometric modeling and computing community
and as a forum where researchers and practitioners can share
ideas concerning geometric modeling and related subjects.
The first issue of CAGD NEWS can be accessed at
http://www.sintef.no/static/am/SIAM-SIAG/CAGD_News.
Among other things, the goal of CAGD NEWS is to energize the
geometric modeling community and contribute to its visibility.
To help us do that, we would welcome if you could distribute
CAGD NEWS to your colleagues and students, and would ask them
to subscribe. To do that, just send an email to
cagdnews@math.vanderbilt.edu.

Subject: Journal of Complexity --Twentieth Anniversary
The February 2004 issue marks the beginning of Vol. 20 of the Journal of
Complexity. In 1985 we published two issues totaling 303 pages. In 2004
we will publish six issues totaling some 1000 pages. However, the success
of the journal should not be measured solely by increases in the number of
issues and pages but above all by significant papers published in new
areas. Examples of these areas include:
--Complexity and tractability of high-dimensional problems.
--Solving continuous problems on a quantum computer.
--Theory of weighted spaces and their applications.
We are now able to publish papers must faster than in our earlier years
for a number of reasons. One of these reasons is that the evaluation of
papers is now highly decentralized. Any Editor or Associate Editor can
process a paper. Another reason is that we have moved from four to six
issues a year. In addition, the increased use of electronic files has
shortened the time it takes to transmit papers through the various stages
of the review process. A fourth and particularly important reason is our
superb editorial coordinator, Awilda Fosse.
We look forward to using the Journal of Complexity to assist in developing
exciting new fields and to continue publishing cutting-edge papers over
the next 20 years.

Subject: European Finite Element Fair in Berlin
The European Organising Committee of the Finite Element Fair
is happy to announce:
The Second European Finite Element Fair
Berlin, 4-5 June 2004
[following EFEF 1 held in 2003 at the Newton Institute in Cambridge:
http://users.comlab.ox.ac.uk/endre.suli/cpdw05.html ]
The local hosts of this Forum/Fair/Marketplace of ideas,
Eberhard Baensch (WIAS)
Carsten Carstensen (HUB)
Peter Deuflhard (ZIB)
Ralf Kornhuber (FU) and
Harry Yserentant (TUB),
would like to invite interested colleagues to present informal
contributions between Friday 13:30, 4th June, and Saturday 17:00,
5th June, in Berlin.
The Fair's format is similar to that of earlier informal finite
element gatherings in the US (e.g. the FE Circus and FE Rodeo).
The focus of the meeting is the numerical treatment of PDEs, and
any aspect of finite elements and their mathematical foundation
interpreted in a broad sense. One of our principles is that
everybody may speak without advance notice. However, it will make
the Fair somewhat more predictable and enjoyable (from the organisers'
point of view!) if you do register a.s.a.p. on the webpage:
http://www.math.hu-berlin.de/~efef/
where we keep up-to-date information of all kinds, including travel
and participation.
We look forward to seeing you in Berlin in June!

Subject: Postdoctoral Position at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
Postdoctoral position at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has an opening for a postdoctoral
fellow to develop and apply parallel computational tools for the
simulation of ion beam extraction from an Electron Cyclotron Resonance
(ECR) ion source and transport through a low energy beam transport
system. The simulation of the ion beam extraction from an ECR plasma ion
source is particular challenging and interesting: The ion beam is
space-charge dominated and multiple species (charge states) are present
in the extracted beam. In addition, the beam is extracted from a region
of high axial magnetic field, which adds a rotational component to the
beam. This leads to emittance growth. The goal of the project is to
correctly predict the measured ion beam emittance and thus develop
simulation tools that can be used to design and to optimize the low
energy beam transport system for the Rare Isotope Accelerator (RIA) project.
This position will involve working with member's of the Berkeley Lab's
Accelerator Modeling and Advanced Computing Group and members of the ECR
Ion Source Group. A detailed description of the position and job
qualifications can be found at http://cjo.lbl.gov by selecting "all
current job opportunities," then checking "physicist postdoc fellow" and

Summer Student Positions at GlaxoSmithKline
The Scientific Computing and Mathematical Modeling group at
GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) seeks talented graduate students with experience and
interests in applied mathematics or in modeling powders and granular
matter for summer positions in Research Triangle Park, NC and in suburban
Philadelphia.
GSK is a world leading research-based pharmaceutical company with a
mission to improve the quality of human life by enabling people to do
more, feel better and live longer. The Scientific Computing and
Mathematical Modeling group applies mathematical and computational
techniques to a variety of challenging problems in pharmaceutical
research. Our group works on mathematical models related to the biology
of disease states and drug interventions, the chemistry and physics of
drug formulations and delivery devices, and the structure of large
biochemical pathways in cells. In addition, we develop sophisticated
computational tools that are used to build and calibrate mathematical
models, incorporate large quantities of experimental data, and visualize
the results of model-generated computational experiments.
Position 1 (REQ#16032): Modeling powders and granular matter
(Upper Merion, PA).
Modeling powders is a very interesting and challenging topic. Laws of
physics and chemistry describe for us the behavior of individual
particles, yet very little is known about the collective behavior of a
large number of such particles. Modeling this collective behavior is an
interdisciplinary work at the boundary of physics, chemistry, numerical
analysis and computer science. We are seeking a graduate student in
applied mathematics, computer science, physics or chemical engineering
that is pursuing research in modeling powder behavior. Good programming
skills are required. Experience with the Discrete Element Method is a plus.
Position 2 (REQ#16039): Stability analysis for a biological model
(Research Triangle Park, NC).
We are seeking a graduate student in applied mathematics for a project
exploring computationally the stability behavior of an ODE-based
biological model. Experience with dynamical systems, stability analysis,
mathematical computing and Matlab is required. Mathematical modeling and
biology experience is also a plus.
For more information, please contact Valeriu Damian (damiav01@gsk.com) or
Laura Potter (laura.k.potter@gsk.com). To apply for a position, visit the
website http://www.gsk.com/careers/university_us.htm and reference the
appropriate REQ#.
