Support is requested to conduct a four-day Conference on Comprehensive Mathematical Modeling in the Natural and Engineering Sciences Organized in the Spirit of L. A. Segel. The conference will be interdisciplinary in nature and is expected to be a focal point for the meeting of theoretical and experimental scientists of various backgrounds especially from the Pacific Northwest region of North America. An important emphasis will be on attracting young scientists (recent Ph.D.'s and graduate students) to attend the conference and in providing them fertile ground for open communication with senior scientists at the cutting edge of comprehensive mathematical modeling in the natural and engineering sciences. Given their geographical location, young scientists from eastern Washington, Idaho, and Montana very rarely get such opportunities for open discussions with experienced researchers. A Banff International Research Station workshop very similar to the conference being proposed was held during the summer of 2003 in honor of Lee A. Segel's seventieth birthday. Although that workshop concentrated primarily on Mathematical Biology this conference will also include topics from Professor Segel's additional research areas in the natural and engineering sciences. In the past informal contacts made at such gatherings have proved valuable in forming new research collaborations.A four-day conference on experimentally-driven theoretical modeling in the natural and engineering sciences is proposed for the summer of 2008 at Washington State University. Funding is being sought from NSF to cover the travel and board expenses of the invited speakers as well as stipends to help defray those costs for the graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and junior faculty members who might otherwise be unable to attend. In addition, institutional matching funds are being requested to cover the rest of their expenses for this class of young researchers . There will be an emphasis on participation by scientists from the Pacific Northwest region of North America. Also, given the under-representation of women and disadvantaged minorities in the comprehensive applied mathematical modeling community, every effort will be made to ensure the accessibility of this conference to members of these two groups during the selection process for both its invitees and attendees.

请支持举办一个为期四天的自然科学和工程科学综合数学建模会议。A.西格尔会议将是跨学科的，预计将成为各种背景的理论和实验科学家会议的焦点，特别是来自北美太平洋西北地区的科学家。一个重要的重点将是吸引年轻科学家（最近的博士学位。的学生和研究生）参加会议，并为他们提供与自然科学和工程科学中综合数学建模前沿的高级科学家公开交流的肥沃土壤。由于地理位置，来自东部华盛顿、爱达荷州和蒙大拿州的年轻科学家很少有机会与有经验的研究人员进行公开讨论。2003年夏天，为了荣誉李·A·班夫，班夫国际研究站举办了一次研讨会，与提议的会议非常相似。西格尔的七十岁生日。虽然该研讨会主要集中在数学生物学本次会议还将包括从西格尔教授的其他研究领域的主题在自然和工程科学。在过去的非正式接触，在这样的聚会已被证明是有价值的形成新的研究合作。一个为期四天的会议上实验驱动的理论建模在自然科学和工程科学的建议，在2008年夏天在华盛顿州立大学。正在向NSF寻求资金，以支付受邀演讲者的差旅费和伙食费，以及帮助支付研究生、博士后研究员和初级教师费用的津贴，否则他们可能无法参加。此外，还要求机构提供配套资金，以支付这类年轻研究人员的其余费用。将强调来自北美太平洋西北地区的科学家的参与。此外，鉴于妇女和弱势少数群体在综合应用数学建模社区的代表性不足，将尽一切努力确保本次会议在其受邀者和与会者的选择过程中对这两个群体的成员的访问。
