EPSRC Symposium Workshop on Quantum Simulations
Aug 24, 2009 - Aug 28, 2009,
University of Warwick, Gibbert Hill Road Coventry, England, United Kingdom CV4 7AL

Rationale:
The aim of this workshop is to identify computational challenges in the investigation of both large and small quantum mechanical systems. Ultimately, quantum mechanics governs how the world around us evolves. Thus it is of tremendous importance to study how quantum effects at the microscopic level manifest themselves in macroscopic behavior [N07]. In the pursuit of this goal, two major research strands can be identified: (i) physicists and mathematicians typically study universal characteristics
of suitably identified paradigmatic models [HM06], whereas (ii) chemists and material scientists concern themselves with the intricate nature of very specific molecular arrangements and molecules.

A related dichotomy is that between (a) small model systems and (b) the quantum statistical mechanics of large systems. The recent drive into nano-science [BK03] has led to a situation in which the research strands (i) and (ii), and (a) and (b) are becoming increasingly coupled to produce a lively field of research, active on a broad range of interconnecting fronts. In addition, and as a partial consequence of the aforementioned
drivers, computational methods are now very heavily used on length and time scales much beyond the originally envisaged scales [SBR06]. Consequently, the mathematical underpinning of these approaches and algorithms needs to be reconsidered and there is need for a cross-disciplinary effort to do so. To address these problems is the aim of our proposed workshop, which will be structured into 5 themes: (i) Quantum Dynamics; (ii) Small Systems; (iii) Large Systems and Quantum Statistical Mechnaics;
(iv) Applications, including Quantum Chemistry and Material; (v) Underpinning Numerical Methods.

7th Joint Meeting of the European Software Engineering Conference and ACM SIGSOFT Symposium on the Foundations of Software Engineering (ESEC/FSE 2009 )
Aug 24, 2009 - Aug 28, 2009,
Amsterdam, North Holland Netherlands

ESEC/FSE 2009 (The seventh joint meeting of the European Software Engineering Conference and ACM SIGSOFT Symposium on the Foundations of Software Engineering) is an internationally renowned forum for researchers, practitioners, and educators to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, experiences, and challenges in the field of software engineering. Held bi- annually, ESEC/FSE brings together experts from academia and industry to exchange the latest research results and trends, as well as their practical application in all areas of software engineering.

iLEAPS Science Conference 2009
Aug 24, 2009 - Aug 28, 2009,
Melbourne, Victoria Australia

The iLEAPS Scientific Steering Committee is hereby inviting session topics and conveners for the iLEAPS conference. The sessions will be thematic and encompass several projects and initiatives all over the world. To fit the iLEAPS objective, the sessions will be addressing land-atmosphere interactions in an integrative manner.

iLEAPS is also organizing an Early Career Scientists' conference/Workshop prior to the main conference. We welcome suggestions for topics and hosts,especially from Australia.

The iLEAPS Science Conference is organized parallel to GEWEX Scientific Conference. The two parallel conferences will have three joint sessions that cover broadly the following themes: 1) Land in the climate system; 2) Aerosol, cloud, precipitation, climate interactions; 3) Future generation of integrated observation and modeling systems.
