Event Details/Other Comments:

SIAM's conference on Mathematics for Industry focuses attention on the many and varied opportunities to promote applications of mathematics to industrial problems. Since the SIAM community encompasses enormous talent for integrating and enriching both industrial work and academic research, this conference will stress interactions within the context of mathematical models and complex systems, and will encourage other mathematical themes of interest to industry, government, business and finance.
The multidisciplinary nature of challenging manufacturing and development problems inspires the first thematic focus on mathematical models of processes encountered in manufacturing. In addition to validating modelsfor consistency and computational correctness, and verifying them against real world data, these models must be joined into larger, more complexand interacting mathematical models. The second theme focuses oncomplex systems, which can vary from interactions among simplistic individual agents to complex mathematical models of behaviors. Each theme will include attention to the challenges that arise in coping with enormous amounts of data.
