The inaugural SIAM symposium on Mathematical and Computational
Aspects of Materials Science will be part of the program for the fall 2014
meeting of the Materials Research Society. The meeting will be held in Boston, November
30 to December 5, 2014; full details can be found at the conference website (http://www.mrs.org/fall2014/). The SIAM
symposium (number NN), is included in the cluster of symposia titled Theory,
Characterization and Modeling.
The call for papers can be found at http://www.mrs.org/fall-2014-call-for-papers-nn/.
Abstracts can be submitted through the MRS conference website; the window for abstract
submission is May 19 through June 19, 2014.
The proceedings of the symposium will be published through
the MRS Proceedings Series, both electronically and in print. The electronic
publication is hosted on the Cambridge Journals Online platform.
In addition to the greater scientific community, the
organizers encourage postdocs, pre-tenure faculty, and graduate students to participate by
submitting contributed papers to this symposium. Subject to availability, we
anticipate funds to defray lodging, registration, and travel costs for up to 16
postdocs, pre-tenure faculty, or graduate students at $1500 per individual.
The Materials Research Society holds its annual fall meeting
at the Hynes Convention Center in downtown Boston. It is a comfortable venue, and
the conference is well attended, with more than 6000 participants from different
scientific disciplines. It is a forum for scientific interaction on contemporary
problems in materials science. For updated conference information as well as discounted
