THE INFORMATION LINKAGE BETWEEN APPLIED MATHEMATICS & INDUSTRY
a workshop to be held at the NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL
MONTEREY, CALIFORNIA February 23-25, 1978
ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS The workshop will include invited and contributed papers.
INVITED PAPERS: Sessions will be held in each of the following general areas:
1. Large Scale Computers and Traditional Applied Mathematics
II. Optimization Ill. Stochastic Modeling - Graphical Representations IV. Finite Mathematics - Cryptography and
Combinatorial Optimization In each session, two outstanding representatives - an applied mathematician and an engineer - will speak on a common topic. The engineer will describe current problems, tech- niques, constraints, difficulties and trends, while the mathe- matician will present recent developments that are useful or show promise. These initial presentations will lead to discus- sions on other topics by principal speakers and participants from the audience. Included among the invited speakers are: H. Keller (CALTECH), C.
