Householder Symposium XV, 2002


Householder Symposium XV - Final Announcement


The Householder Symposium on Numerical Linear Algebra will be held June 17-21, 2002 at Peebles Hotel Hydro, Scotland, about 22 miles southwest of Edinburgh. This meeting is the fifteenth in a series, previously called the Gatlinburg Symposia. The name honors Alston S. Householder, one of the pioneers in numerical linear algebra and organizer of the first four meetings. The meeting has traditionally been held in an isolated location and is very informal in style. Each attendee is given the opportunity to present a talk, but a talk is not mandatory. The format of the meeting includes scheduled presentations during the day and more informal evening sessions that are organized electronically shortly before the meeting. Spirited discussion is encouraged.

At the meeting, the eleventh Householder Prize will be awarded for the best thesis in numerical algebra written since 1 January 1999.

We hope that the meeting will be attended by recent entrants into numerical linear algebra as well as more experienced researchers. We encourage attendance by core numerical linear algebra researchers, matrix theoreticians, and people in applications such as optimization, signal processing, control, etc.

The Program Committee welcomes your contribution. The meeting facility holds only 125 people, however, so attendance may need to be limited.

For full consideration, the committee must receive your abstract by 11 December 2001. Information concerning the application process may be found here. Please use the format provided. The committee expects to complete the list of attendees and scheduled presentations in February 2002.

A limited additional amount of financial support is available to those attending.
