| AMR08 Explores Major Areas in Applied Mathematics |
| Researchers from throughout the United States met at Argonne National Laboratory October 15-17 to participate in a workshop on Applied Mathematics Research. The workshop, popularly known as AMR08, provided a forum for participants to exchange technical information in four areas: linear and nonlinear systems, multiscale phenomena, uncertainty quantification and sensitivity analysis, and optimization of complex systems. |
| The meeting featured plenary talks from researchers and agency managers, including Weinan E (multiscale modeling, Princeton University), Inez Fung (climate modeling, University of California-Berkeley), Alexander Gray (large-scale data analysis, Georgia Tech), Fred Johnson (DOE), David Keyes (petascale methods for energy applications, Columbia University), and Karen Willcox (uncertainty quanti- fication and optimization of complex systems, MIT). |
| Topics ranged from computational mathematics technology and scalable software to their application in advanced climate modeling and astrophysics simulations. Breakout sessions and poster sessions provided ample time for researchers to discuss recent advances, major challenges, and new approaches and tools. Friday included a plenary presentation by David Brown (Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory) on future directions for applied mathematics. Tours of the Advanced Photon Source and the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility concluded the meeting on Friday afternoon. |
Funding for AMR08 was provided by the DOE Office of Advanced Scientific Computing Research's Applied Mathematics Program, under the direction of Dr. Homer Walker. The organizing committee comprised researchers from eight national laboratories and three U.S. universities and was chaired by Jorge Moré of Argonne National Laboratory.
