Foundations of Computational Mathematics Conference

http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/na/FoCM/FoCM08/

The next Foundations of Computational Mathematics conference will takeplace at the City University of Hong Kong in Hong Kong, China, on 16-26June 2008.

The conference, organised by the Society for Foundations of Computational Mathematics, is the sixth in a sequence that commenced with the Park City,Rio de Janeiro, Oxford, Minneapolis and Santander FoCM meetings.

The conference will follow a well-tested format: plenary invited lecturesin the mornings and theme-centred parallel workshops in the afternoons.

The FoCM conferences are designed to bring together workers in computational mathematics and theoreticians in mathematics and in computer science. While presenting plenary talks by foremost world authorities and maintaining the highest technical level in the workshops, the emphasis will be on multidisciplinary interaction across subjects and disciplines,in an informal and friendly atmosphere. We hope that it will be an opportunity to meet colleagues from different subject areas and identify the wide-ranging (and often surprising) common denominator of our research.

The preliminary website of the conference is at http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/na/FoCM/FoCM08/, where a list of the workshops and their organizers can be found. More information about FoCM and details of previous FoCM conferences can also be obtained there.
