25th International Domain Decomposition Conference
Memorial University of Newfoundland is pleased to host the 25th International Domain Decomposition Conference, DD XXV, in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada, July 23-27, 2018. A tutorial style short-course, providing both theory and practical computing, is tentatively scheduled for July 21-22, 2018. More details to come. If you think the short-course is of interest then hold off making travel arrangement until the schedule matures. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss recent developments in various aspects of domain decomposition methods…

DCFS, the International Workshop on Descriptional Complexity of Formal Systems is an annual academic conference in the field of theoretical computer science. Beginning with the 2011 edition, the proceedings of the workshop appear in the series Lecture Notes in Computer Science. Already since the very beginning, extended versions of selected papers are published as special issues of the International Journal of Foundations of Computer Science, the Journal of Automata, Languages and Combinatorics, Theoretical Computer Science, and Information and Computation. This…

The CIAA conference series was started in 1996 as the Workshop on Implementation and Application of Automata, in London, Ontario, Canada, and became Conference on Implementation and Application of Automata four years later, in 2000, when was celebrated half century of automata theory during HCAT 2000, in London, Ontario, Canada. The conference brings together researchers from both computing theory and practice, and the contributions to this conference cover all practical and theoretical aspects in automata theory and related structures. Topics…

Diversity in Mathematics
We propose a multi-year, multi-level approach to promoting diversity and inclusivity in STEM. The annual two-week program will include a summer school for top undergraduate women from across Canada and the northwest United States, currently specializing in mathematics or a closely related STEM field, such as computer science, physics and statistics. The program will show them the many possibilities of math and science as a career, and encourage them to consider graduate studies, an arena where women are seriously under-represented.…

AAC minicourse by Professor Matej Bresar
During the week of September 9 to September 15, 2018, Atlantic Algebra Centre organizes a mini course “Functional Identities and Zero Product Determined Algebras" by Prof. Matej Bresar. Functional identities are an important combinatorial tool applicable to problems in noncommutative and nonassociative algebra, linear algebra, and operator theory. They have been used in an essential way for the solution of the well-known Herstein's Lie map conjectures, which remained open for three decades. Matej Brešar was one of the authors of…

What is a smart village? Using mathematics for rural prosperity V. Kumar Murty (University of Toronto) We conceive of a smart community as one in which static social inequality is minimized. Modelling this mathematically and translating it into a development strategy is one of the big global challenges of our time. When implemented, it will affect 3 billion people, or about half the world's population. About the speaker: Kumar Murty received his BSc from Carleton University and his PhD in…

Science Atlantic Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science Conference
The annual Science Atlantic, Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science Conference, will be hosted by Université de Moncton (UdeM) on October 12-13, 2018. This annual gathering provides an opportunity for promising undergraduate students to attend what is often their first academic conference, participate in a competition (mathematics or programming), present on a research topic, attend talks by fellow undergraduate and graduate students, and learn about graduate school opportunities. The conference features three plenary speakers, awards, and a banquet. It is also…

Mini-course “Representations of simple finite dimensional and affine Lie algebras”
This mini-course will focus on Representation Theory of simple complex finite dimensional and affine Lie algebras. We will start with the introduction to the theory of infinite dimensional weight representations. Though the classification of irreducible representations is still open beyond the sl(2) case in general, in some subcategories this problem can be managed successfully. In particular, we will discuss the theory of Gelfand-Tsetlin modules and their generalizations in the finite dimensional case. A comparison will be given with the representations…
