The Eighth IMACS International Conference on Nonlinear Evolution Equations and Wave Phenomena: Computation and Theory

第八届IMACS非线性演化方程和波动现象国际会议：计算和理论将于2013年3月25日至3月28日在格鲁吉亚大学举行。更多信息可在会议网站上获得：waves.uga. edu拟议的会议将集中在非线性波动方程的推导，理论，数值模拟和应用。尽管经历了几十年的剧烈活动，但这一区域没有减弱或钙化的迹象。事实上，最近的两个菲尔兹奖获得者在这一领域的工作被引用，地球物理建模和高速通信的主要新尝试已经利用了非线性波动方程。该系列会议以汇集理论和计算数学、应用科学和工程领域的研究人员而闻名。会议将邀请几位专家就该领域最热门的一些方面进行一小时的演讲，估计有180个简短的演讲，其中大部分将以重点会议的形式进行。过去的经验表明，与会者将远远超过200人。在2011年举行的最近一次会议上，提交了229份研究论文。除了来自美国的161名参与者外，还有来自36个国家的68名国际科学家和学生。我们有41名研究生和本科生，3名初级教师和27名妇女参加了会议。本次会议我们将有20个有组织的会议，3个主题演讲，并为学生和年轻的教师两个教程。所要求的支助用于支付受邀演讲者的费用，并支付年轻与会者的费用，特别关注学生、妇女、少数民族、残疾人、博士后和初级教员。截至2012年11月中旬，收到了来自学生、妇女、代表性不足的群体和年轻教师的50多份申请，要求获得参加会议的财政支持。

The Eighth IMACS International Conference on Nonlinear Evolution Equations and Wave Phenomena: Computation and Theory will be held at the University of Georgia from March 25 to March 28, 2013. More information is available on the conference website: waves.uga.eduThe proposed conference will focus on the derivation, theory, numerical simulation and application of nonlinear wave equations. Despite several decades of intense activity, this general area shows no sign of abating nor of calcification. Indeed, two of the recent Fields medalists are cited for their work in this area, and major new forays into geophysical modeling and high-speed communication have made use of nonlinear wave equations. The conferences in this series are well known for bringing together researchers in theoretical and computational mathematics, the applied sciences and engineering.The conference will feature several invited, one-hour presentations on some of the most topical aspects of the area and an estimated 180 shorter talks, most of which will be in a focused session format. Past experience suggests that well over 200 participants will attend. At the most recent conference in 2011, 229 research papers were presented. In addition to 161 participants from the USA, there were 68 international scientists and students from 36 countries. We had 41 graduate and undergraduate students, 3 junior faculty and 27 women who attended the conference. This conference we will have 20 organized sessions, 3 keynote speakers, and two tutorials for students and young faculty. The requested support is for the expenses of the invited speakers and to defray the costs of younger participants, with special attention paid to students, women, minorities, persons with disabilities, postdocs and junior faculty. As of mid-November, 2012, more than 50 applications were received from students, women, underrepresented groups, and young faculty requesting financial support to attend the conference.
