The conference ICOR'10 is held under the International MultiConference of Engineers and Computer Scientists 2010. The IMECS 2010 is organized by the International Association of Engineers (IAENG). Manuscript submission deadline: 8 December, 2009

SPEAKERS

The geometric Langlands correspondence lies at the core of one of the most significant current interactions between geometry and physics, integrating far-reaching discoveries and conjectures originating in physics, geometry, representation theory and arithmetic. This advanced school is designed to deliver training on this interdisciplinary topic. It is targetted at graduate students, postdocs and researchers working in geometry and physics at an international level.

The aim of the conference is to bring together researchers working in the fields of pure mathematics, applied mathematics, mathematics education and statistics. The program will include contributed talks and keynote lectures. The conference is Co-Sponsored by the American Mathematical Society (AMS).

Polynomial optimization is an important topic in mathematical programming theory and applications. It is often NP-hard. Recently, linear matrix inequality and semidefinite programming techqniues prove very efficient in finding global optimal solution for polynomial optimization problems. They bring interesting interations between mathematical areas like convex analysis, optimization theory, moment theory, and algebraic geometry. This workshop will introduce graduate students and young scholars to the mathematical tools required to do research in this area.

The 15th ALEA workshop will take place in CIRM (Luminy, France), during March 22-26, 2010.
This workshop is devoted to the study of Random Discrete Structures, at the interface between Mathematics, Computer Science and Statistical Phisics.
It gathers senior researchers and phd students from these three areas, and presents tutorials as well as research talks (essentially in french).

First Announcement

We would like to draw your attention to the following spring school that aims to bring together
students and younger researchers in the fields of analysis and numerical analysis of partial
differential equations.

2nd Spring School
Analytical and Numerical Aspects of Evolution Equations
March 28 - April 1, 2010 at TU Berlin

Organised by Etienne Emmrich (Bielefeld) and Petra Wittbold (Berlin)

Lectures:

* Boris Andreianov (Besancon)

The aim of the conference is to present recent developments in differential
and geometric Galois theories, including in particular the following topics:
fundamental groups, moduli spaces, Riemann-Hilbert problems, anabelian
geometry, unipotent representations, Galois groups of functional
equations, reduction and lifting, arithmetic applications.

The theory of belief functions, also referred to as evidence theory or Dempster-Shafer theory, was first introduced by Arthur P. Dempster in the context of statistical inference, and was later developed by Glenn Shafer as a general framework for modelling epistemic uncertainty.

This workshop is dedicated to the confrontation of ideas, the reporting of recent achievements and the presentation of the wide range of applications of this theory.

Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Programming (MINLP) is a sub-field of Mathematical Programming (MP) specializing in modelling and solving one of the most general (and hard) classes of optimization problems: namely, problems including both nonlinear terms and integer variables. There are countless applications: in energy production, chemical engineering, scheduling, software verification, quantum chemistry, geometry, bioinformatics, nuclear engineering, and water distribution, to name a few.
