Correction, the reviewers have the link needed from when I created an entry for them, see the one that was sent to me. However, if they did not get the message I was pointing out in the previous mail, we might point out to them that they can get to their assigned papers by going back to the link that was sent to them when I created the reviewer entry. - Chris -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [ICCS 2006] review entry creation Date: Tue, 06 Dec 2005 19:12:48 +0100 (MET) From: ICCS 2006 Paper Submission System <iccs2006(a)reading.ac.uk> To: bischof(a)sc.rwth-aachen.de Dear C.B.

Hello folks, I received this message from Jean, but not the message with the subject line "[ICCS 2006] review entry creation" that was pointed to in the text, i.e., as a normal reviewer, I would not know where to find the paper. Was that also your experience or that of PC members "close to you"? - Chris -------- Original Message -------- Subject: iccs AD workshop reviews Date: Fri, 16 Dec 2005 11:50:55 -0600 From: Jean Utke <utke(a)mcs.anl.gov> To: undisclosed-recipients: ; Dear Reviewer, I send this e-mail on behalf of the organizing committee of the AD workshop to be held at ICCS 2006. You have volunteered as a reviewer and all contributions are now uploaded to the ICCS web site. You should have received an e-mail with the subject line: "[ICCS 2006] review entry creation" which contains a link to the your individual reviewers page. If you cannot find this e-mail / link please contact me. The deadline for submitting all reviews is ********************* January 19, 2006 ********************* The conference website shows a later date but that leaves very little time for the authors to incorporate the reviewers suggestions. Therefore we decided on this date. Thank you for your participation, J.

Bischof, We have been troubled by a problem in our upload engine, which has in some, fairly rare cases caused information on people to be overwritten by that of others, causing some identity problems. We have identified and repaired the cause, and have been able to trace and correct many of the errors in the information on authors and contacts. Please, check that for your workshops the information on the reviewers is still correct. If there is an error, you can choose to delete and recreate the record, or you can correct the personal information. In some cases, incorrect author personalities may still exist. Look for implausible combinations of authors, presenters and contacts. Please, excuse us for the trouble this may have caused you.

Refereeing for ICCS Workshop
by Forth Dr Shaun 19 Dec '05

19 Dec '05

Further to my message of Friday I've realised I've used slightly different wordings for the paper acceptance states than appear on the conference reviewers' pages. I've amended my message appropriately below. I've also added some info on getting comments to authors. Please don't hesitate to contact the organisers at mailto:org-ad-workshop@lists.rwth-aachen.de <mailto:org-ad-workshop@lists.rwth-aachen.de> if you have any other questions. Shaun Further to Jean's earlier message and on behalf of Chris, Uwe, Jean and myself can I thank you for volunteering to serve on the Program Committee for the 3rd International Workshop on AD, part of ICCS 2006 in Reading taking place in May 2007. If you visit the conference web-server using the reviewer's link you have been already sent you will see details of the papers we have asked you to review. Time is tight due to the papers being published in time for the conference so can I please ask you to stick to the following schedule. 1) Dec 16th 2006 - referees informed of the 2 or 3 papers they are asked to review. Each paper is (should be!!) 8 pages long and I hope you will be able to form an opinion on its suitability for publication fairly rapidly. One of the organisers will also be assigned as a referee for the papers you are asked to review and will contact you early in 2007. Please don't worry if you think you can only referee a restricted part of a particular paper we have assigned to you - we have combined referees' expertises in some cases so that all aspects of the paper are suitably reviewed. If you are unable to review some, or all (please don't say that!!), of your papers in the time given then please let us know ASAP so we can accommodate this. 2) By Thursday 19th January 2006 can you please complete a short report for each paper you are asked to review. In your report PLEASE can you A) recommend one of: strong accept , accept , marginal or reject ; B) clearly state any required or recommended corrections to achieve accept or strong accept states. This gives the authors a short time to correct their papers before the Organisers decide whether to accept or reject the paper. We will not have time for you to approve corrections so you MUST LET US KNOW the required corrections in your report. If you wish to forward additional information to the author, e.g. scanned red-penned manuscript, detailed report in pdf, word, ps format etc, then please forward this to the workshop organiser (see point 1 above) dealing with that paper. 3) By Jan 31st authors must have sent us revised copies for the Organisers to approve, using your report recommendations. Camera ready copies are required by February 10th. If you wish to contact the organisers for guidance or any other (related!) matter then please email us at mailto:org-ad-workshop@lists.rwth-aachen.de which will direct your mail to all 4 of us so hopefully one will be able to respond. So thanks again for agreeing to help in this and we look forward to receiving your reports, and perhaps seeing you in Reading in May. Happy reading and Happy Christmas Shaun Forth on behalf of the AD Workshop Organisers. ##################################################################### Dr Shaun Forth Applied Mathematics & Operational Research Engineering Systems Department Cranfield University, Shrivenham Campus Swindon SN6 8LA, England tel.: +44 (0)1793 785311 fax.: +44 (0)1793 784196 email: S.A.Forth(a)cranfield.ac.uk http://www.amorg.co.uk <https://secure.rmcs.cranfield.ac.uk/> http://www.rmcs.cranfield.ac.uk/amor <https://secure.rmcs.cranfield.ac.uk/amor,DanaInfo=www.rmcs.cranfield.ac .uk+> ##################################################################### -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by the Cranfield MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Jean, Thanks for getting things moving as I asked. Have you received an invite to review with the url and id as you mention below? I don't see anything in my inbox yet. Shaun ________________________________ From: org-ad-workshop-bounces(a)lists.rwth-aachen.de on behalf of Jean Utke Sent: Fri 16/12/2005 18:02 Cc: org-ad-workshop(a)lists.rwth-aachen.de Subject: [Org-ad-workshop] reviews etc Hi, AFAICT the only way to access the individual reviewer pages is via the link sent in the e-mail I mentioned in my mass mailing and the crucial bit the "authid" string which differs for each reviewer. I.e. if somebody can't find their e-mail I think I cannot give them the "authid" string we use for the organizers page because that allows to view everything. So, in that case I would have to forward that to the webmasters or recreate the reviewer's entry. Am I missing something? jean -- Jean Utke Argonne National Lab./MCS utke(a)mcs.anl.gov phone: 630 252 4552 cell: 630 363 5753 _______________________________________________ Org-ad-workshop mailing list Org-ad-workshop(a)lists.rwth-aachen.de http://mailman.rwth-aachen.de/mailman/listinfo/org-ad-workshop <https://secure.rmcs.cranfield.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/org-ad-workshop> -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by the Cranfield MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Jean, Just got back to my desk now. I made sure I could check things today and get out my referees instructions but I wasn't around this morning. We are running the risk of missing referees going on leave for Xmas TODAY. Please ask Mike to submit what he has NOW (this minute) and as soon as it appears on the server then flick the switch. Ask him to email you an updated version by the time you agreed with him which you can email to the assigned referees and see if you can add it to the web site. Please warn the referees that they will get an update to the paper withing 24 hours. We really must get the referees going this side of the weekend.

TIA --------------- Fagan Title+Abstract for ICCS 2006 Submission --------- Title: Derivatives by address for Fortran 77 Abstract: Automatic differentiation tools use 1 of 2 strategies to access derivative values. These strategies are: 1) By-address 2) By-name The by-address method is typically implemented by introducing structured types for each active scalar type. For example, scalar type 'real' will have an associated structure type 'active-real'. Using this strategy, all active variables types are changed to the associated structured type. On the other hand, the by-name method introduces an associated new variable for each active variable. For example, the derivatives associated with 'pressure' would be 'd_pressure'. Since the by-address strategy employs structured types, AD tools for Fortran 77 have not employed that strategy. In this paper, we show how to use array access to implement the by-address strategy for Fortran 77. We discuss the canonicalization issues, outline our Adifor3.0 implementation of this technique, and give a few sample performance comparisons of the by-address vs the standard Adifor3.0 by-name. -- Prof. Christian Bischof, Ph.D. Institute for Scientific Computing and Center for Computing and Communications RWTH Aachen University Seffenter Weg 23, 52074 Aachen, Germany Tel. +49-241-8029110, Fax +49-241-8022241 bischof(a)rz.rwth-aachen.de <mailto:bischof@rz.rwth-aachen.de> , www.sc.rwth-aachen.de <http://www.sc.rwth-aachen.de/> , www.rz.rwth-aachen.de <http://www.rz.rwth-aachen.de/> -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by the Cranfield MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
