Subject: Online resources for Developing Countries, IFORS


The aim of the IFORS Developing Countries Online Resources page is to
offer the OR worker all publicly-available materials on the topic of
OR for Development. It also aims to provide a venue for people who are
working in the area to share their completed or in-process work, learn
from others, and stimulate comments and discussions on the work.
Regarding IFORS Developing Countries OR resources website, its regular
updates - and your possible submission of "free" (not copyright
protected) material, you might occasionally visit
http://ifors.org/developing_countries/index.php?title=Main_Page.


With this open resources page we aim to make research and application
results better accessible to the many friends in the Developing
Countries. We would be glad about interest.


"Operational Research" (OR) is the discipline of applying advanced
analytical methods to help make better decisions. By using techniques
such as problem structuring methods and mathematical modelling to
analyze complex situations, Operational Research gives executives the
power to make more effective decisions and build more productive
systems.


The International Federation of Operational Research Societies (IFORS;
http://ifors.org/) is an almost 60-year old organization which is
currently composed of 51 national societies. Regional Groups of IFORS
are: ALIO (The Latin American Ibero Association on Operations
Research), APORS (The Association of Asian-Pacific Operational
Research Societies), EURO (The Association of European Operational
Research Societies), NORAM (The Association of North American
Operations Research Societies). IFORS conferences are taking place
every three years. On IFORS 2020, Seoul, South Korea, please refer to

Subject: SIAM SISC Special Section on Iterative Methods


SIAM SISC Special section devoted to iterative methods
Special section editors-in-chief: Tom Manteuffel and Irad Yavneh
Submission deadline: June 15, 2020

Although this year's Copper Mountain Conference on Iterative Methods
(CMCIM) was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemia, the traditional
Special Section of SIAM Journal on ScientificComputing is still
planned. The section will be dedicated to recent progress in
iterative methods. Submissions are encouraged in all aspects of
iterative methods, including this year's highlighted topics:
Asynchronous iterative solvers; Eigenvalue and singular value methods
and applications; Inverse problems, regularization; Iterative
Applications: earth systems; Iterative Applications: energy; Iterative
Applications: fluids; Iterative Applications: electromagnetics;
Iterative Applications: imaging; Solvers at extreme scale & on high
concurrency node architectures; Iterative solvers and machine
learning; Iterative solvers in data science and engineering;
Optimization of complex problems & Systems; Multilevel solvers;
Multigrid methods for partially structured grids; Nonlinear solvers;
Randomized iterative solvers and preconditioners; Rank-structured
solvers and preconditioners; Robust & scalable iterative solution of
coupled multi-physics problems; Solvers for indefinite systems;
Surrogate modeling & model reduction; Uncertainty quantification, PDEs
with random data.


As in the past, the special section is open to submission from the
general scientificcommunity. The papers should meet the formatting and
editorial requirements of SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing.

Page limit policy: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing has a page
limit policy of approximately 20 journal pages. This limit can be
exceeded if the referees and editor are convinced that a longer paper
is required; however, due to total size restrictions, papers longer
than 25 pages will not be considered for publication in the special
section.

Submissions for the special section will be accepted from April 1

through June 15, 2020. Papers will be subject to review by a guest
Editorial Board comprising the current CMCIM scientific committee
members plus other guest editors to be confirmed. Between these dates,
all interested can submit a manuscript and cover letter in PDF format
via the online submission site at http://sisc.siam.org. Note the
block labeled Section (just under the keywords block on your
submission screen) and select "Special Section" from the dropdown
box. Directly below this is a block labeled Special Section, where you
will want to select "Copper Mountain Special Section 2020" from the
dropdown.
