Background:
It is our intention to organize a well respected
international conference series on Scientific Computing
and Partial Differential Equations in Hong Kong. The first
of this conference series was held in December 2002 and the
second conference was held in September 2005. More details about
these conferences can be viewed at
http://www.math.hkbu.edu.hk/SCPDE02/
and
http://www.math.hkbu.edu.hk/SCPDE05/
Both conferences were held at the Hong Kong
Baptist University, well attended by international experts in
respective disciplines and were found highly successful in providing
a forum for the exchange of ideas, and latest results within
a multi-disciplinary setting. Many top scientists in the area
of scientific computing, including Academicians from America,
Europe and China, attended the conferences and presented their
research results. A conference proceeding for the first conference
was published in American Mathematical Society's Contemporary
Mathematics series, a prestigious volume series of AMS. The
second conference proceeding was published in Science Press
series, a specialized publisher for such conference proceedings.
Objective:
The Third International Conference on Scientific
Computing and Partial Differential Equations series aims to
promote research interests in scientific computation. We would
like to review recent scientific developments and to explore
exciting new directions in scientific computing and partial
differential equations for time-dependent problems and its interaction
with other fields.
There have been very rapid developments of
Scientific Computing in Hong Kong, in part due to the research
carried out within the Mathematics Department at the Hong Kong
Baptist University, and increasing interest from sister departments
in other higher education institutions in Hong Kong. As Hong
Kong transforms herself into a high-tech industrial region,
the need for scientific computing will rise dramatically, as
scientific computing is commonly acknowledged to provide a third
arm to research; the other arms being theoretical and experimental
techniques.
