The latest starting date is October 28, 2005. Please note that our Marie Curie Program ends on January 28, 2006. In connection with our European Graduate Program "Combinatorics, Geometry, and Computation" we became a Marie Curie Training Site. We can support young researchers pursuing doctoral studies and providing them with the possibility of undertaking part of their doctoral studies in a country other than their own (see below for a list of admitted countries). Applicants must already have an advisor and a dissertation project in mathematics, computer science, or a related area at their home university. The Marie Curie Training Site is a joint initiative of the three universities of Berlin - Free University, Technical University, Humboldt- University - and the Konrad-Zuse-Research Center. The amount of the scholarship is 1200,00 Euro per month. The scientific program ranges from theoretical fundamentals to applications. The areas of research are combinatorics, geometry, optimization, algorithms and computation. During their stay the students are supervised by the professors Aigner, Alt, Rote, Schulz (FU), Felsner, Moehring, Ziegler (TU), Proemel (HU) and Groetschel (ZIB). Applications with curriculum vitae, copies of certificates, publications, a letter of recommendation of the advisor and a brief description of the status of the dissertation project should be sent until September 30, 2005 to: Andrea Hoffkamp Institut fuer Informatik Freie Universitaet Berlin Takustrasse 9 D-14195 Berlin or by email to: alt*at*inf.fu-berlin.de (Prof. Helmut Alt) Further information can be obtained from: Andrea Hoffkamp: phone: ++49-30-838 75 104 e-mail: hoffkamp*at*inf.fu-berlin.de http://www.inf.fu-berlin.de/gk-cgc http://www.inf.fu-berlin.de/graduate-programs/cgc/ausschr-marie-curie.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------- List of admitted countries: all countries of the European Union and Bulgaria, Iceland, Israel, Liechtenstein, Norway, Romania and Switzerland. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ********************************************************** * * Contributions to be spread via DMANET are submitted to * * DMANET@zpr.uni-koeln.de * * Replies to a message carried on DMANET should NOT be * addressed to DMANET but to the original sender.

The input polygonal surface should approximate a smooth surface both point-wise and normal-wise (the precise definition is given in a relevant paper available from the site below). Given such a surface, this software remeshes it with Delaunay triangles that are well-shaped. It produces an adaptive mesh in the sense that the mesh density is regulated by the local feature size of the input. The software can be downloaded from http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/~tamaldey/surfremesh.html ---Tamal K.

From morin at scs.carleton.ca Fri Sep 23 09:25:04 2005 From: morin at scs.carleton.ca (Pat Morin) Date: Mon Jan 9 13:41:22 2006 Subject: Canada Research Chair in Bioinformatics at Carleton University Message-ID: <4333F420.5040207@scs.carleton.ca> Canada Research Chair in Bioinformatics School of Computer Science, Carleton University The School of Computer Science at Carleton University invites applications for a Tier II Canada Research Chair (CRC) in Bioinformatics. The School is particularly seeking a computer scientist whose research focuses on problems in Biology. The Canada Research Chair programme (www.chairs.gc.ca), established by the Government of Canada, promotes internationally-recognized research at Canadian universities. Carleton University is located in Ottawa, Canada's capital. Ottawa has a strong and rapidly growing industrial sector in the life sciences. Excellent opportunities exist in the Ottawa region for collaborative work with federal government laboratories in agriculture, health, environment, wildlife biology, and biotechnology, among others. The School's research strengths include algorithms, high performance computing, databases, biologically-inspired computing, network and distributed computing, and digital security. The School has an NSERC Industrial Research Chair in Applied Parallel Computing and a Tier I CRC in Network Security. The School is a partner in the High Performance Computing Virtual Lab consortium (HPCVL), which recently received $12.8M in additional government funding. The Department of Biology at Carleton has several researchers with interests in Bioinformatics, and close links in teaching and research with the Department of Biology at the University of Ottawa through a joint graduate programme. In addition, the School and the Department of Biology have recently developed an undergraduate programme in Bioinformatics, currently offered as a stream within the Bachelor of Computer Science degree programme. This tenure-track appointment will be at the rank of Assistant Professor or Associate Professor, depending on qualifications, and will be conditional on the successful candidate being approved as a Tier II Canada Research Chair. The successful candidate will have a Ph.D. in Computer Science or related discipline, demonstrated expertise in Bioinformatics, an outstanding record of research accomplishments, show strong potential to become a leader in his/her disciplinary area, and have an interdisciplinary orientation which will facilitate interactions with researchers in Biology and Biochemistry in particular. The deadline for receipt of applications is December 31, 2005, but applications will be considered as long as the position remains unfilled. The anticipated start date is July 1, 2006 (but no later than January 1, 2007). Candidates should send a curriculum vitae and a statement outlining their past research and future research plans, and arrange for letters from three referees to be sent to CRC Search Committee School of Computer Science Carleton University 1125 Colonel By Drive Ottawa ON K1S 5B6 Canada E-mail: director@scs.carleton.ca Tel: 613-520-4330, Fax: 613-520-4334. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply. The applications of Canadian citizens and Permanent Residents will be considered first. Carleton University is committed to equality of employment for women, Aboriginal people, visible minorities, and persons with disabilities. Persons from these groups are encouraged to apply. ------------- The compgeom mailing lists: see http://netlib.bell-labs.com/netlib/compgeom/readme.html or send mail to compgeom-request@research.bell-labs.com with the line: send readme Now archived at http://www.uiuc.edu/~sariel/CG/compgeom/maillist.html.

Authors are invited to submit abstracts for talks to be given at the workshop. Please send an abstract (up to 2 pages) and, if available, a draft of a paper. Because there are no formal proceedings for the workshop, submission of material submitted to a refereed conference (e.g., SODA 06) is allowed and encouraged. Submission: Send your abstract as a PDF file to Suresh Venkatasubramanian (suresh@research.att.com). The subject line should say 'Submission for FWCG 2005'. Submission Deadline: Oct 19 Announcement of accepted abstracts: Oct 26 Final Abstracts due: Nov 2 ------------- The compgeom mailing lists: see http://netlib.bell-labs.com/netlib/compgeom/readme.html or send mail to compgeom-request@research.bell-labs.com with the line: send readme Now archived at http://www.uiuc.edu/~sariel/CG/compgeom/maillist.html.
