- 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
Of particular interest will be presentations on interdisciplinary research

PARTICIPATION AND DEADLINES
- MINISYMPOSIA Submit one-page theme abstract, list of 4 speakers
and titles of their presentations by January 31, 2005 to imacs05@fields.utoronto.ca
Notification of acceptance by February 28, 2005
Note: Once a minisymposium is accepted, speakers
of the minisymposium will be asked to submit their individual abstracts
through
http://atlas-conferences.com/cgi-bin/abstract/submit/capm-01
- A typical minisymposium consists of four 25-minute presentations
including questions, or three 30-minute presentations including questions.
Prospective minisymposium organizers are asked to submit a proposal
consisting of a title, an abstract (not to exceed 250 words), and
a tentative list of speakers and titles of their presentations.
Please submit proposals by e-mail to imacs05@fields.utoronto.ca
The proposal should be a single HTML file. Please see the example
provided.
It is recommended that the minisymposium organizer make the first
presentation. Each minisymposium speaker should submit a one page
abstract to the minisymposium organizer. Contributed minisymposia
will be refereed by the Program Committee. The number of minisymposia
may be limited to retain an acceptable level of parallelism in the
conference sessions. The abstracts of accepted minisymposia will appear
in the Handbook of Abstracts.
The conference organizing committee will not be able to waive the
registration fee for minisymposium organizers and speakers, or reimburse
their expenses. Therefore, minisymposium organizers should make no
financial commitments on behalf of the conference organizing committee
to speakers when organizing their minisymposia.
- CONTRIBUTED TALKS:
Contributed presentations in Lecture Format are invited in
all areas consistent with the conference themes.
Submit one-page abstract by February 15, 2005 Notification of acceptance
by March 15, 2005
Each intended speaker must submit a title and a brief abstract not
to exceed one page (approximately 250 words).. All abstracts will
be refereed by the Program Committee. The abstracts of accepted contributed
presentations will appear in the Handbook of Abstracts. Abstracts
are limited to one page. Longer abstracts will be truncated to one
page automatically. Expanded abstracts, complete
papers and slides of talks may be submitted in pdf or ps format to
the Virtual Proceedings.
- STUDENT PAPER COMPETITION AND FINANCIAL SUPPORT
Student paper competition: Sumission deadline has now passed
All students (and new PhDs whose degrees were awarded after January
1, 2004) are invited to submit a paper for competition. Thanks to
funding from the Fields Institute, 10 or more winners will be selected
to receive financial support for travel expenses, lodging,
and conference registration fee waivers Notification of acceptance
by March 15, 2005
Any student (or new Ph.D., whose degree was awarded after January
1, 2004) is invited to submit a paper for a student paper competition.
Thanks to funding from the Fields Institute for Research in the Mathematical
Sciences, 10 or more winners will be selected to receive financial
support for travel expenses, lodging, and registration fee waivers.
The student or new Ph.D. must be the primary or sole author. Sending
only an abstract is unacceptable. Student papers should meet the requirements
of the Instructions for Preparation of Papers and are accepted as
e-mail attachment in PostScript or PDF format The e-mail body should
include a request to consider the paper for the student competition.
If e-mailing is not possible, a hard copy of the paper may be submitted
by regular post to:
Prof. Christina Christara
Department of Computer Science
University of Toronto
10 King's College Road
Toronto, Ontario M5S 3G4
Canada
All papers submitted must follow the guidelines
provided here.
All student papers submitted will be considered for oral presentation
(as contributed talks).
ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL SUPPORT -Deadline for

papers will be considered first.
Applications for travel support are also
encouraged from new researchers (recent Ph.D.s, post-doctoral students,
and junior faculty who do not have adequate funds), however, supporting
students will be the main priority.
PUBLICATIONS: SPECIAL JOURNAL ISSUE
Submission deadline for journal publication: July 15, 2005.
Each speaker (including student paper contributors) will be invited
to submit a paper to a special issue of the IMACS
Journal Applied Numerical Mathematics devoted to the meeting. These
papers will be subjected to the same rigorous refereeing process as
regular submissions to this journal.
Papers should be prepared in LaTeX according to the journal's
instructions.
For review purposes, please prepare a PostScript or PDF file and e-mail
it as an attachment to imacs05@fields.utoronto.ca.
The e-mail body should include a request to consider the paper for publication
in the special issue of the Applied Numerical Mathematics and it should
list the authors, the title, and the total number of pages of the paper.
The e-mail should come from the corresponding author of the submitted
paper.
HANDBOOK OF ABSTRACTS
All abstracts accepted for contributed presentations, minisymposia or
