Aims and Scope European Society of Computational Methods in Sciences and Engineering (ESCMSE) is a non-profit organization. The aims and scopes of ESCMSE is the construction, the development and the analysis of computational, numerical and mathematical methods and the application of the developed methods in sciences and engineering. The activities of ESCMSE are on the subject of computational, numerical and mathematical methods in sciences and engineering. In order to achieve the above aims and scopes the ESCMSE has obtained the following activities: Research cooperation between scientists in the above subject. Founding, development and organization of national and international conferences, workshops, seminars, schools, symposiums on the above subject. Development of special issues of scientific journals on the above subject. Other activities on the dissemination of the results of the research on the above subject. Activities on the participation and possible representation of Greece and European Union on the events and activities of international scientific organizations of the same or similar subject. Collection of reference material relative with the aims and scope of ESCMSE. Based on the above activities ESCMSE has already developed an international scientific journal named: Applied Numerical Analysis and Computational Mathematics (ANACM) . The development of the above journal was done in cooperation with the international leading publishing company of Wiley-VCH . ANACM is the official journal of ESCMSE. Each member of ESCMSE will receive free of charge the volumes of ANACM. ESCMSE regognises also two other journals: Journal of Computational Methods in Sciences and Engineering (JCMSE) - IOS Press and A new developed journal: Computing Letters (CoLe) - VSP/Brill.

Ljung Date: Monday, June 21, 2004 Invitation to the events at the occasion of the Doctorate Honoris Causa awarded by the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven to Prof. Dr. Lennart Ljung, Linkoping University, Sweden on Tuesday October 12 and Wednesday October 13, 2004 in Leuven. Belgium The Academic Council of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven has decided to confer the honor of 'Doctor Honoris Causa' upon Prof. Dr. Lennart Ljung for his many contributions to mathematical modeling of dynamical systems, including system identification algorithms and software for linear and nonlinear systems and for his high impact on the field, both in academia as in industrial environments. At the same occasion, two more Honorary Degrees will be awarded, one to Manuel de Sola-Morales and one to P. Ole Fanger. The Honorary Degree will be awarded in a special ceremony on Wednesday, October 13, at 16.00 h in the central Promotion Hall of the K.U.Leuven (Naamsestraat 22, 3000 Leuven, Belgium), with Prof. Dr. Bart De Moor pronouncing the formal 'laudatio' in honor of Prof. Ljung. For this occasion, a two day workshop will be organized, where we will launch K.U. Leuven - SCORES (Systems, Control and Optimization in Research, Education and Services), an interdepartmental initiative of the K.U. Leuven, to integrate all research and teaching activities in systems, control and optimization. This workshop is also co-organized by the Belgian Interuniversity Attraction Pole 'Dynamical Systems and Control' and the Flemish Research Community ICCoS. The workshop starts on Tuesday, October 12, 2004, 09.00 h and ends on Wednesday, October 13, 2004, 15.00 h, after which all attendees are invited to attend the Honorary Degree Ceremony. Full details on the location, the program, the internal and the invited speakers, can be found at http://www.kuleuven.ac.be/scores/12-13oct2004.html. There will be talks by representatives from local member teams of SCORES, spin-off and other companies and invited guest speakers (including Prof. Dr. Brian Anderson, Prof. Dr. Albert Benveniste, Prof. Dr. Paul Van den Hof and other guests to be confirmed). We would like to invite you to these two days of events. Registration can be done at http://www.kuleuven.ac.be/scores/ You can also send an email to ida.tassens@esat.kuleuven.ac.be, so that we can add your name to our mailing list in order to keep you up-to-date on further details.
