This meeting will feature current research in scientific computing with an emphasis on the numerical solution of differential equations in science and engineering, particularly ordinary differential equations. The meeting will close with a celebration of the sixtieth birthday of C. William Gear. Watch for the third announcement in the NA Digest. Alternatively, send a message to scicade@sccm.stanford.edu with enquiries and for future mailings.

Call for papers. There is limited room in the program for contributed talks of 15 or possibly 30 minutes duration, for poster presentations, and for software demonstrations. If you are interested in contributing to the program, please send an abstract by November 15, 1994 by email (LaTex preferred but plain text ok) to freppert@cs.umn.edu
if possible; otherwise, send hard copies in triplicate to Ms. Liz Freppert Computer Science Department University of Minnesota 200 Union Street S.E., Room 4-192 Minneapolis, MN 55455 FAX 612 625 0572 by November 15, 1994. In the case of a regular oral presentation, send an extended abstract one page in length; otherwise send a half-page abstract.
Contributors can expect to be notified by December 30.
In your submission indicate which of the alternatives are acceptable: *poster *software demo *15-minute talk *30-minute talk
For a software demo specify equipment needed or desired.
Space for commercial demos is also possible.
Contributions on scientific computing topics other than ODEs are encouraged.
There may be space in the program for an additional mini-symposium. If you are interested in organizing one, please contact L. Petzold (petzold@cs.umn.ed) by August 15.
There will be a special issue of SISC covering the conference (refereed in the usual way) to honor Bill Gear's many contributions to SIAM and to scientific computing.
Organizing committee: Gene Golub (Stanford), Linda Petzold (Minnesota), Robert Skeel (Illinois), Andrew Stuart (Stanford)
