Mathematical modeling and supercomputer technologies
On November 23, the 20th International Conference and School "Mathematical Modeling and Supercomputer Technologies" started at Lobachevsky University.
The topics of the Conference and School cover a wide range of problems, including models and methods of decision support and artificial intelligence, mathematical modeling of system dynamics and control processes, the theory of dynamical systems and bifurcations, the use of supercomputer technologies to solve computationally complex problems. The conference is dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the outstanding Soviet and Russian scientist Yuri Neimark.
The conference was opened by Roman Strongin, President of Lobachevsky University. In his speech, he noted the outstanding role of Yuri Neimark in the establishment and development of the country's first Faculty of Computational Mathematics and Cybernetics.
In his plenary report, Vladimir Voevodin, Co-Chairman of the Programme Committee, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, emphasized that "the effective use of all the possibilities of modern computing systems is a serious problem and requires new knowledge, skills and abilities, where one of the key elements is the understanding of the theoretical potential of algorithms and key dynamic characteristics of parallel applications".
On the first day of the conference, plenary lectures were given by scientists from Moscow State University, Institute of Computer Science of the Russian Academy of Sciences, University of Saratov, University of Calabria, as well as by representatives of the IT industry (RSK Group). More than 40 reports delivered in six breakout sessions presented the current state of research in the field of mathematical modeling, as well as methods of supercomputer computing for solving current problems in various fields of science, industry, business and education. This successful start convincingly demonstrates that the conference is an important and significant event for the development of research in the field of mathematical modeling and supercomputer technologies.
