Poster Session

The conference will feature a poster session, which will be preceded by a “poster blitz”, where each poster presenter can use a single slide to briefly explain why conference attendees should attend their poster.  To maximize visibility for all participants, the poster blitz will take place in the main lecture hall, and will have no competing sessions.  Thus, the poster blitz provides each poster presenter an opportunity to give a “mini plenary lecture”.

For information about preparing a poster, please visit http://www.siam.org/meetings/guidelines/presenters.php.  See SUBMISSIONS button for deadlines

Description

Linear algebra is an important area of mathematics and it is at the heart of many scientific, engineering, and industrial applications.  Research and development in linear algebra include theoretical studies, algorithmic designs and implementations on advanced computer architectures, and applications to various disciplines.  The SIAM Conferences on Applied Linear Algebra, organized by SIAM every three years, are the premier international conferences on applied linear algebra, which bring together diverse researchers and practitioners from academia, research laboratories, and industries all over the world to present and discuss their latest work and results on applied linear algebra.

 

Funding Agency

nsfSIAM and the Conference Organizing Committee wish to extend their thanks and appreciation to the U.S. National Science Foundation and DOE Office of Advanced Scientific Computing Research for their support of this conference.
