<br />Subject: PLTMG 12

<br /><br />PLTMG 12.0 is a package for solving elliptic partial differential
<br />equations in general regions of the plane.  It is based on a family of
<br />continuous Lagrange triangular finite elements.  PLTMG features
<br />options for adaptive h, p, and hp refinement, coarsening, and mesh
<br />moving. PLTMG employs several algebraic multilevel solvers for the
<br />resulting systems of linear equations.  PLTMG provides a suite of
<br />continuation options to handle PDEs with parameter dependencies.  It
<br />also provides options for solving several classes of optimal control
<br />and obstacle problems.  The package includes an initial mesh generator
<br />and several graphics packages.  Support for the Bank-Holst parallel
<br />adaptive meshing paradigm and corresponding domain decomposition
<br />solver are also provided.
<br />
<br />PLTMG is provided as Fortran (and a little C) source code.  The code
<br />has interfaces to X-Windows, MPI, and Michael Holst's OpenGL display
<br />tool SG. The X-Windows, MPI, and SG interfaces require libraries that
<br />are NOT provided as part of the PLTMG package.  PLTMG is available
<br />from Netlib and the author's homepage: http://ccom.ucsd.edu/~reb/

<br /><br />KoMSO Challenge Workshop on Mathematical Modeling, Simulation and
<br />Optimization for Air Traffic Management, July 14-15, 2016
<br />Lufthansa Systems, Am Prime Parc 1, 65479 Raunheim, Germany
<br />http://www.KoMSO.org
<br />
<br />Flight route planning nowadays is faced with growing challenges due to
<br />continuous increase of air traffic and mounting strict requirements on
<br />safety, efficiency, capacities and environment. To successfully
<br />accomplish these challenges, joint efforts of all ATM stakeholders,
<br />air traffic control, network managers, airports, airlines and academia
<br />are necessary. This workshop will discuss a variety of mathematical
<br />aspects in air traffic management, including pre-flight route
<br />optimization as well as in-flight conflict resolutions. Day 1 offers
<br />insight into the flight operation at Lufthansa and is enhanced by a
<br />practical experience report by an ATC controller from DFS Deutsche
<br />Flugsicherung. The MSO-related presentations on day 2 carve out the
<br />mathematical approaches for the stakeholder-specific challenges, where
<br />the main aim of the workshop is to foster synergies and
<br />collaborations. Confirmed speakers include representatives of
<br />Lufthansa Systems, DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung, Eurocontrol, Bundeswehr
<br />University Munich, University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Technical
<br />University of Munich, DLR & Lufthansa.
<br />
<br />We kindly invite your participation. Registration for the workshop is
<br />on a first come, first served basis and SPACE IS LIMITED!  Note that
<br />you will have to register for the visit at the Lufthansa Operations
<br />Control Center separately.

<br />Subject: Research Chair Position, Institute for Mathematical Sciences, Cameroon

<br /><br />The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation is calling for applications for
<br />a German Research Chair for "Mathematics and its Applications" at the
<br />African Institute for Mathematical Sciences in Cameroon
<br />(AIMS-Cameroon). In the coming years, this research chair will promote
<br />higher education and research in mathematics in Africa.  The call is
<br />aimed at postdoctoral academics from any country who demonstrably
<br />conduct application-related research in the field of mathematics, have
<br />several years' experience in training students and, ideally, doctoral
<br />candidates. Experience in working in and cooperating with Africa and a
<br />willingness to collaborate with other academic disciplines are also
<br />desired. The closing date for applications is 1 August
<br />2016. Cooperation with a collaborative partner in Germany is a
<br />requirement of the programme. However, an application can be submitted
<br />even if contact with a partner at a German university/research
<br />institution has not yet been established by the application deadline.
<br />This research chair is funded with a total of €560,000 for a four-year
<br />period. A concurrent appointment at a collaborating university in
<br />Cameroon is planned. Following three years of funding, AIMS-Cameroon
<br />plans to conduct an evaluation of the chair.  A long-term
<br />establishment of the research chair at AIMS-Cameroon is intended.
<br />
<br />Please visit
<br />https://www.humboldt-foundation.de/web/research-chair-aims-cameroon.html
<br />for more details.
<br />
<br />AIMS-Cameroon is part of the AIMS Next Einstein Initiative which seeks
<br />to establish a coordinated network of 15 supra-regional centres of
<br />excellence in mathematics across Africa by the year 2020. The research
<br />chair is designed to help promote networking between AIMS-Cameroon and
<br />German universities and to drive networking amongst the various AIMS
<br />centres in Africa. The Humboldt Foundation will fill four research
<br />chairs at AIMS centres in, Ghana, South Africa, Cameroon and Tanzania.

<br />Subject: Postdoc Position, Modelling of Composite Materials

<br /><br />A postdoctoral position (two years) in process modeling of composite
<br />materials is available at CeMEAI (Center for Mathematical Sciences
<br />Applied to Industry) - University of São Paulo at São Carlos -
<br />Brazil. This Fapesp-funded, collaborative project with the division
<br />for material and computational mechanics of Chalmers University Sweden
<br />and Polytechnic School of University of São Paulo will focus on
<br />lightweight composite material crucial for structural applications in
<br />a wide range areas, e.g. windmill, automotive and aeronautic
<br />industries related to reduced CO2 emissions. Problems of material
<br />variation and big scatter of material properties are needed to be
<br />modeled. In this particular project we are interested in thermal
<br />stresses induced by the cure leading to e.g.  warping, spring-back,
<br />spring-in phenomena and the simulation of wet-out process for
<br />unidirectional layers. All these aspects are related to geometry
<br />assurance, and they have to be properly accounted for.
<br />
<br />We are seeking an individual with a PhD in Applied Mathematics,
<br />numerical methods and related areas and skills in a programming
<br />language, continuum mechanics of solids and fluids and with interest
<br />in interacting with other partners in material science and
<br />experimental techniques of composite materials.  It is also possible
<br />that part of the work will be done in Sweden. The successful candidate
<br />will be expected to work collaboratively with teams at both Poli-USP
<br />and Chalmers but will be employed at CeMEAI-ICMC-USP at São Carlos.
<br />Review of applications will begin 1 July 2016 and continue until the
<br />position is filled.  Funding support is available for two years, but
<br />performance will be reviewed on an annual basis. Applications should
<br />be submitted through jacuminato@gmail.com
