Laurent, Bruce, Martin, Jean, Uwe and Chris Mike Giles wants us to confirm the June 1st workshop and let him know of a general interest AD speaker for the 14:00 slot to coincide with Oxford's weekly seminar slot. Would you please nominate a "distinguished" AD speaker, likely to be at ICCS Reading, who could present a 50 minute talk suited to a general (well Oxford's numerical analysis and applied maths community!!) mathematics audience. Obviously we want someone to do a good job of representing us. I'll collate suggestions and then liase with the EuroAD committee and Mike.

Do we have any names of speakers yet? I was asked today whether there will be a "general interest" keynote speaker at 2:00 so the talk can also play the role of being one of our regular Thursday 2:00 Numerical Analysis seminars -- you'll remember that Nick Trefethen raised that suggestion. Cheers, Mike Forth Dr Shaun wrote:

Hi, Chris Bishof has proposed that he will put together a submission by Nov 1st to the ICCS conference May 28-31, ICCS, Reading http://www.iccs-meeting.org/iccs2006/ <https://secure.rmcs.cranfield.ac.uk/iccs2006/> for a "Workshop" - what might also be termed a Mini-Symposium - on automatic differentiation which will require at least 8 papers which must be submitted by Dec 2nd. He is proposing that myself, Jean Utke and Uwe Naumann assist in the organisation and refereeing process.

This ICCS workshop can be done independently of the proposed 3rd EuroAD Workshop which is due to be held at about that time. However, it has also been proposed that to make best use of people's time we loosely combine the ICCS workshop with a 1-day EuroAD Workshop. Ideally this should be located somewhere close to Reading. Oxford is only about 40 mins train ride from Reading and I have informally approached Mike Giles who has confirmed he would be happy to host within Oxford University's Computing Laboratory (they have a very nice lecture room for such a meeting) on the 1st June if we wish.

Can you please confirm that you would be happy in principle for the above to happen.

I will also send an email out shortly to the AD Workshop mailing list to see if at least 8 people would be able to submit an 8 page LNCS paper to an ICCS Workshop if Chris were to arrange it.

Can you please respond urgently to this.

Thanks

Shaun
