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日在佐治亚大学举行。欲了解更多信息，请访问会议网站：Waves.uga.edu拟召开的会议将集中讨论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，但这一地区总体上没有减弱或钙化的迹象。事实上，最近两位菲尔兹奖章获得者因他们在这一领域的工作而受到表彰，在地球物理建模和高速通信方面的重大新尝试利用了非线性波动方程。这一系列的会议以聚集理论和计算数学、应用科学和工程学的研究人员而闻名。会议将包括几个受邀的、一小时的演讲，讨论该领域一些最热门的方面，以及估计180个较短的演讲，其中大部分将以集中会议的形式进行。过去的经验表明，将有超过200人参加。在2011年的最近一次会议上，提交了229篇研究论文。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名初级教员和27名女性参加了会议。这次会议我们将有20个有组织的会议，3个主旨演讲者，以及为学生和年轻教师提供的两个教程。所请求的支助用于支付受邀演讲者的费用和年轻参与者的费用，特别关注学生、妇女、少数群体、残疾人、博士后和初级教员。截至2012年11月中旬，收到了50多份来自学生、女性、代表性不足的团体和年轻教职员工的申请，他们要求提供财政支持以参加会议。

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.
