Since 2002, the SCPDE conference-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.
The fourth conference in the series will further promote research interests in scientific computation in
Hong Kong. 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. The main themes of the SCPDE in 2011 are Numerical Analysis and Applications of
- Volterra Functional Equations,
- Stochastic Computations,
- Electromagnetic and Acoustic Scattering, and
- Numerical Partial Differential Equations.
This conference, keeping the tradition, emphasizes its wide interdisciplinary feature and also its strong component in a forward looking exploration significant mathematics with advanced algorithms applicable to real world applications. A diverse group of experts and participants will come to visit Hong
Kong and attend the conference.

It is our intention to organize a well respected international conference series on scientific computing
in Hong Kong every three years. The first of this conference series was held in 2002 and then 2005 and 2008. All conferences in the series 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. The third was published as a special issue in the Advances in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics.
