Dear colleagues, next year's SIAM conference on Computational Science and Engineering, CSE'13, will take place in Boston, February 25-March 1 (http://www.siam.org/meetings/cse13), and for this version there will be a track focused on the topic of Big Data. This term has rapidly risen in recent discussions of science and even of mainstream business computing, and for good reasons. Today virtually all disciplines are facing a flood of quantitative information whose volumes have often grown faster than the quality of our tools for extracting insight from these data. SIAM hopes that CSE'13 will provide an excellent venue for discussing these problems, from the vantage point offered by a community whose expertise combines analytical insights, algorithmic development, software engineering and domain-specific applications.
As part of this event, Titus Brown (http://ged.msu.edu) and I are organizing a minisymposium where we would like to have a group of presentations that address both novel algorithmic ideas and computational approaches as well as domain-specific problems. Data doesn't appear in a vacuum, and data from different domains presents a mix of common problems along with questions that may be specific to each; we hope that by engaging a dialog between those working on algorithmic and implementation questions and those with specific problems from the field, valuable insights can be obtained. If you would like to contribute to this minisymposium, please contact us directly at: "C. Titus Brown" <c...@msu.edu>, "Fernando Perez" <fernando.pe...@berkeley.edu> with your name and affiliation, the title of your proposed talk and a brief description (actual abstracts are due later so an informal description will suffice for now), by Wednesday August 29. For more details on the submission process, see: http://www.siam.org/meetings/cse13/submissions.php Please forward this to any interested colleagues. Regards, Titus and Fernando. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
