<br /><br />Updates to the NA Digest archived issues can normally be found and
<br />searched via the following URL:
<br />http://www.netlib.org/na-digest-html/
<br />
<br />In the past few weeks, though, the archives have not been populated
<br />with the most recent issues. We are working on getting this process
<br />fixed.
<br />
<br />As a workaround, archived copies of the NA Digest can currently be
<br />accessed via the listserv housed at UTK:
<br />http://listserv.utk.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A0=NADIGEST
<br />
<br />We ask for your patience as we address these problems.

<br />Subject: Dune 2.4.1 Released

<br /><br />We are pleased to announce the release of Dune, the "distributed and
<br />unified numerics environment", version 2.4.1, the first point release
<br />in the 2.4 release series of the Dune core modules, dune-common,
<br />dune-istl, dune-geometry, dune-grid and dune-localfunctions. This
<br />release mostly contains bug fixes for problems in the original 2.4.0
<br />release, but also a number of backported features from the master
<br />development branch. For a list of the fixed bugs, new features and
<br />known issues take a look at the release notes [2]. You can download
<br />the tarballs from our download page [1] or checkout the v2.4.1 tag of
<br />the modules via git. Please go and test, and report the problems that
<br />you encounter.
<br />
<br />DUNE is a software framework for the numerical solution of partial
<br />differential equations with grid-based methods. Using generic
<br />programming techniques it strives for both: high flexibility
<br />(efficiency of the programmer) and high performance (efficiency of the
<br />program). DUNE provides, among other things, a large variety of local
<br />mesh refinement techniques, a scalable parallel programming model, an
<br />ample collection of finite element methods and parallel linear
<br />solvers.
<br />
<br />DUNE is free software licensed under the GPL (version 2) with a so
<br />called "runtime exception" (see license [3]). This license is similar
<br />to the one under which the libstdc++ libraries are distributed. Thus
<br />it is possible to use DUNE even in proprietary software.

<br />Subject: New Book, Game Theory with Engineering Applications

<br /><br />Game Theory with Engineering Applications by Dario Bauso
<br />xxviii + 292 pages / Softcover / ISBN 978-1-611974-27-0 / List Price
<br />$82.50 / SIAM Member Price $57.75 / Order Code DC30
<br />
<br />"This book is a significant contribution to game theory and its
<br />applications, for example, to social sciences, power systems, and
<br />multi- agent systems. It is more comprehensive than any other book I
<br />have read, and it provides new concepts and insights while reflecting
<br />the author's own research activity. It is very carefully written and
<br />will be an invaluable reference for mathematicians, engineers, and
<br />social scientists."  - Alessandro Astolfi, Imperial College London
<br />
<br />Engineering systems are highly distributed collective systems-
<br />decisions, information, and objectives are distributed throughout-that
<br />have humans in the loop, and thus decisions may be influenced by
<br />socioeconomic factors. Engineering systems emphasize the potential of
<br />control and games beyond traditional applications. Game theory can be
<br />used to design incentives to obtain socially desirable behaviors on
<br />the part of the players, for example, a change in the consumption
<br />patterns on the part of the "prosumers" (producers-consumers) or
<br />better redistribution of traffic.
<br />
<br />This unique book addresses the foundations of game theory, with an
<br />emphasis on the physical intuition behind the concepts, an analysis of
<br />design techniques, and a discussion of new trends in the study of
<br />cooperation and competition in large complex distributed systems.
<br />

<br />Subject: Deadline extension, EURO 2016, Poland, Jul 2016

<br /><br />The deadline for abstract submission for the EURO 2016 conference
<br />expired yesterday but, due to many requests we received, we decided to
<br />extend it till March 15, 2016.
<br />
<br />It is not likely the deadline will be extended further so you have
<br />just two weeks to submit your abstract and be part of an exceptional
<br />scientific and human event this summer in the beautiful and friendly
<br />town of Poznan.
<br />
<br />Besides from the high quality speakers and presentations there are
<br />several other reasons to be at EURO 2016: the Making an Impact
<br />initiatives to close the gap between academia and practice of OR; the
<br />many workshops, tutorials and satellite events; the recruiting events
<br />and the direct contacts with some of the major companies in the OR
<br />field that will be present in Poznan; the special issues of reputed
<br />journals that will be prepared after the conference ...
<br />
<br />Full details of the EURO 2016 program are available at
<br />http://www.euro2016.poznan.pl .
<br />
<br />Furthermore, we remind you the early-bird registration deadline of
<br />April 1 (to get discounted registration rates) and that April 15 is
<br />the deadline for the registration of speakers so as to be present in
<br />the conference program.

<br /><br />In the group of Prof. Peter Knabner at the Department of Mathematics
<br />of the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg (Germany) there is an open
<br />postdoctoral position in the area of
<br />
<br />NUMERICAL METHODS FOR MULTICOMPONENT REACTIVE TRANSPORT PROBLEMS IN
<br />POROUS MEDIA
<br />
<br />starting July 2016. The position is connected with teaching duties in
<br />the mathematics education of engineering students (scope 5 hour per
<br />week).  The position will end at the end of 2017; a prolongation is
<br />possible. The salary is according to the German civil service tariff
<br />E13 TV-L.  Candidates should have a strong background in numerical
<br />methods for partial differential equations, including experience of
<br />programming and implementation of numerical methods. The applicant is

<br /><br />16 PhD Positions in Life Sciences, Mathematical Modelling and Image
<br />Analysis
<br />
<br />The joint graduate program of the Excellence Cluster Cells in Motion
<br />(CiM) and the International Max Planck Research School - Molecular
<br />Biomedicine (IMPRS-MBM) offers positions to pursue PhD projects in the
<br />areas of biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics or computer
<br />science. We are looking for young scientists with a vivid interest in
<br />interdisciplinary projects to image cell dynamics from the subcellular
<br />to the patient level. PhD projects range from the analysis of basic
<br />cellular processes to clinical translation, from the application of
<br />novel biophysical approaches and the generation of mathematical models
<br />to the development of new imaging-related techniques and compounds.
<br />
<br />Research areas: Cell and Molecular Biology; Developmental and Stem
<br />Cell Biology Vascular Biology; Immunology; Microbiology; Neurobiology;
<br />In vivo Imaging; High Resolution Optical Imaging; Biophysics; Chemical
<br />Biology; Label Chemistry; Mathematical Modelling and more.
<br />
<br />Applications for the 3-year PhD program can be submitted from 26
<br />February - 1 May 2016. Projects start in October 2016.  Applications
<br />can only be submitted via our online system.
<br />
<br />For online application and further information go to www.cim-imprs.de.
<br />
<br />We offer 16 PhD positions. More positions financed by work contracts
<br />may be offered depending on availability. Excellent scientific and
<br />transferable skills trainings, competitive work contracts or tax-free
<br />fellowships as well as support with administrative matters,
<br />accommodation, and visas are part of the program. There are no tuition
<br />fees. The program language is English. We invite applications from
<br />highly qualified and motivated students of any nationality from
<br />biological sciences, chemistry, mathematics, computer sciences and
<br />physics. We are looking forward to your application for a PhD position
<br />in Muenster. Contact: cim-imprs@uni-muenster.de
