Background:
There have been very rapid developments of
efficient algorithms on scientific computing and related investigations
of mathematical issues of partial differential equations and
image processing over the past decade. As a result, many problems
in diverse application fields such as fluid dynamic, image processing,
computer vision, and computer graphics in the entertainment
industry can now be routinely simulated to high resolution.
It is our intention to orgainize a well respected international
conference series on Scientific Computing and Partial Differential
Equations in Hong Kong. The first of this conference series
was held at Hong Kong Baptist University in December 2002, and
was a highly successful event. Many top scientists in the area
of scientific computing, including Academicians from USA, Sweden,
France and China, attended the conference and presented their
research results. A conference proceedings was published in
American Mathematical Society’s Contemporary Mathematics series,
a prestigious volume series of AMS. More details about the conference
can be viewed at
http://www.math.hkbu.edu.hk/SCPDE02.
Objective:
In the second of this conference series, we
would like to review recent developments and to explore exciting
new directions in scientific computing and partial differential
equations for time dependent problems and its interaction with
other fields such as image processing, computer vision and graphics.
An emphasis of this conference, which we hope will set it apart
from others, is the strong interaction of significant mathematics
with advanced algorithms applicable to real world applications.
There have been very rapid developments of
Scientific Computing in Hong Kong over the past decade. As Hong
Kong transforms itself into a high-tech industrial region, the
need for scientific computing will rise dramatically. This conference
will further promote research interests in scientific computation
in Hong Kong.
The Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics
(SIAM) is the major society for Applied Mathematicians. There
are many chapters and sections for the SIAM in many regions
in the world. The East
Asia SIAM was formed a few years ago, but its first conference
has not yet been held. The East Asia SIAM has recently decided
to organize its first conference jointly with the 2005 International
Conference on Scientific Computing and Partial Differential
Equations.
