Sparse Days Meeting 2013 at CERFACS, Toulouse
June 17th-18th, 2013
The annual “Sparse Days at CERFACS” will take place on the 17th and 18th of June, just before the Preconditioning 2013 meeting at Oxford.
We intend to finish formal proceedings on the Tuesday in time to allow participants to catch the evening flight from Toulouse to London Heathrow.
The Sparse Days meeting will be similar in format to previous years.
No invited speakers and all talks in plenary session. As it is before the preconditioning meeting, we might expect an emphasis on associated areas, but contributions on any aspects of sparsity are welcome. In particular, talks on sparse optimization and on data assimilation would fit well with some of the current research at CERFACS.
Registration (Deadline : April 30th)
There is no registration fee and a limited amount of very low cost accommodation is available on site at the Meteo residences.
Registration and requests for accommodation should be sent to Brigitte Yzel (brigitte.yzel@cerfacs.fr).
The deadline for doing this is 30 April 2013. However, it will help greatly with our planning if you can let us know in advance of that deadline that you plan to come.
Titles and abstracts for presentations of 30 minutes (although you can offer a shorter talk if you wish) should be sent to Xavier Vasseur (vasseur@cerfacs.fr). The deadline is the same (30 April) but these can be sent later than the registration.
