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.
 
Shaun

Shaun,

Are we confirmed for this workshop on June 1st?

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
