abstract: The goal of the program is to bring together the world leaders in spectral theory of random Schrödinger operators and theoretical physicists successfully working on the problem of Anderson localization. Among the topics that will be addressed during the program are: The nature of critical phenomena associated with localization-delocalization transitions; The existence and statistical properties of extended states for D > 2 and the behaviour in the critical dimension D = 2; Rigorous version of supersymmetric methods and of the nonlinear s-model techniques; The localization-delocalization phenomena associated with the Integer Quantum Hall effect; Rigorous mathematical understanding of the relation between magnetic Schrödinger operators and network models, and the connection with quantum percolation; Localization in the presence of a random magnetic field; Behaviour of products of random matrices and associated Lyapunov exponents; Localization and delocalization in disordered systems characterised by non-selfadjoint operators; Dynamical localization in Quantum Chaotic systems; Localization in systems with aperiodic potential, as well as in models with correlated or long-ranged disorder; Localization in systems with nonlinearities, and localization-delocalization phenomena in disordered systems of interacting quantum particles.

abstract: The Institute of Computational Fluid Dynamics was founded in 1983 by Bill Morton and Mike Baines. This year is its 25th anniversary and to celebrate we are holding a two day meeting at the University of Oxford on 15th & 16th September 2008. The meeting will consist of invited talks together with a celebratory 3-course dinner in New College on the evening of 15th September.

abstract: You are invited for the 5-day workshop in order to continue the development and discuss the future of MUSE - a Multi-scale Multi-physics Software Environment. The purpose of MUSE is to realistically model dense stellar systems such as young star clusters and galactic nuclei (see http://muse.li). Important steps had been taken over the last two years at previous workshops, most recently in Split, Croatia, in August 2007, where we accomplished to complete a working interface to connect a complete set of base codes. During this next meeting we plan to demonstrate the capabilities of MUSE by simulating a star cluster including stellar dynamics, stellar evolution as well as stellar collisions.

abstract: The aim of ICNAAM 2008 is to bring together leading scientists of the international Numerical and Applied Mathematics community and to attract original research papers of very high quality. Topics to be covered include all the research areas of Numerical Analysis and Computational Mathematics and all the research areas of Applied and Industrial Mathematics. ICNAAM is one of the biggest annual events in the field of the numerical analysis involving hundreds of scientist from the whole world.

abstract: FLINS, an acronym for Fuzzy Logic and Intelligent Technologies in Nuclear Science, is a well-established international research forum to advance the theory and applications of computational intelligence for applied research in general and for complex engineering and decision support systems in particular. The principal mission of FLINS is bridging the gap between machine intelligence and real complex systems via joint research between Universities and international research institutions, by encouraging interdisciplinary research and bringing multi-discipline researchers together.

abstract: The exhibition hall will amount to 22,000m2 and there will be more than 1000 booths. It is predicated that there will be 500 corporate exhibitors.

abstract: This topical meeting aims at bringing together communities such as lighting, computer graphics, color technologists, optical designers, light sources and virtual reality towards the common goal of design, production and understanding of ambient lighting and a lit model’s appearance.

abstract: Building on the growing success of its previous editions, one of the main objectives of this fifth COPROMAPH Workshop is to contribute to the development of a critical mass of researchers in Africa in as dynamic an area as is mathematical physics. The Workshop brings together specialists in Mathematics, Theoretical and Mathematical Physics. It offers the international scientific community an arena for interactions and presentations of scientific research results on contemporary problems in these fields. The Workshop also provides young African researchers an opportunity to know each other and initiate scientific collaboration. The Workshop thereby contributes in strengthening the research capacity and revitalizing activities in mathematical physics in African universities. Given that perspective, the Workshop is preceded by the Third International COPROMAPH School dedicated to methods in Geometry and Quantisation to lay the ground-work in preparation of the Workshop, through two series of graduate level lectures, accompanying tutorials, and student seminars.

abstract: Computational modelling of flows is vital for understanding & controlling processes relevant to aeronautical, environmental and numerous engineering problems. Most flows are turbulent, this dynamic complexity generally being treated using inexpensive deterministic mathematical models requiring calibration and validation against measurements. The increasing power of computers is allowing much less model dependent approaches. These will be explored in an application centred context between diverse fields.

abstract: The goal of FEMTEC 2008 is to advance the frontiers in performance and reliability of finite element methods, and broaden their interdisciplinary applications in engineering and sciences.

abstract: The Second International Conference on Computer Analysis and its applications in Information Technology will be held on the beautiful campus of TSNU in December 2008 over four days.

abstract: The conference will provide an international forum to present and discuss recent research in mathematical modeling and computing as applied to nuclear engineering and particle transport. This conference is part of a series of topical meetings organized by the Mathematics and Computation Division of the American Nuclear Society. The technical program will consist of plenary sessions, parallel oral presentation sessions and poster sessions. There will also be one or more workshops.

abstract: This conference is one of the main venues where significant advances in the analysis and computational modeling of wave phenomena and exciting new applications are presented. Conference themes include but are not limited to forward and inverse scattering, nonlinear wave phenomena, fast computational techniques, high performance computing, numerical analysis, absorbing layers and approximate boundary conditions, analytic and semi-analytic techniques for wave problems, domain decomposition, guided waves, random media etc.

abstract: The objective of this conference is to bring together researchers who use computational methods, those who perform experiments, and of course those who do both, in all areas of materials characterisation, to discuss their recent results and ideas, in order to foster the multidisciplinary approach that has become necessary for the study of complex phenomena. Topics of interest for this Conference range from generic characterisation methods to damage assessment and application to particular materials.
