Finite Element Rodeo
The ability to solve large-scale inverse problems and to quantify uncertainty is an essential precondition towards the goal of accurate predictions in many data-intensive applications. Challenges in this area are numerous due to multiple scales and uncertainties in physical processes. The workshop will focus on:
- Efficient data assimilation techniques.
- Robust and accurate model reduction techniques.
- Constructing and assessing the statistical accuracy of emulators.
- Implementation of these methods on today's computer architectures.
This workshop brings together researchers working in these areas, with the goal of developing and improving systematic techniques for large-scale inverse problems and uncertainty quantification. It will consist of a number of plenary and invited presentations. We particularly encourage poster presentations.
The workshop will be hosted by Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas, and is mainly supported by the Institute for Applied Mathematics and Computational Science (IAMCS). The workshop is also supported by the Institute for Scientific Computation (ISC). There is no registration fee. Interested participants should contact inverseuq@gmail.com. Information will be provided at http://isc.tamu.edu/events/inverseuq/ and will be updated frequently.

Finite Element Rodeo
More information can be found by visiting: http://www.math.tamu.edu/~bonito/Workshops/2011_FEMRodeo/femrodeo_2011.php
The finite element rodeo is an annual, informal conference on finite element methods that rotates between several universities in Texas and Louisiana. In the beginning, we ask for all those willing to speak to come forward. We will use this information to determine the length of the talks and arrange a schedule so that the total available time is then divided by the number of speakers. Usually, the time alloted per talk is 10-15 minutes. Talks by graduate students and postdocs are particularly encouraged.
The 2011 edition of the traditional finite element rodeo will be held at Texas A&M on February 25-26 starting at 1pm the 25th. Registration starts at 12:00 pm, and all participants need to be registered before 12:45pm.
