Advance online registration closes June 15, 2011. Here is the link: http://bit.ly/gPYJTN For the first time, the Congress will be using social media to enhance conference experience both for attendees and those following proceedings remotely. Twitter will be used to deliver updates and announcements and to enable scientific discussion and interaction among delegates. Follow us on Twitter (http://twitter.com/#!/iciam2011) to keep up to date with conference announcements. If you're tweeting about ICIAM 2011, before, during or after the meeting, please use the hashtag #ICIAM2011. Also, watch for a mobile phone app to be available soon. Students looking to network with and meet mathematicians and professionals from around the world should consider volunteering. Opportunities range from preparing delegate kits and shooting photographs to assisting at outreach events. There is also the possibility of volunteers receiving travel funding and/or registration reimbursement. For complete details on the openings available, please visit the volunteers page at http://bit.ly/ltP1Hn. Students can also enjoy a casual, social interaction with peers at the Student Networking Social on Monday, July 18. Organized by the Mitacs Student Advisory Committee, the event will involve a workshop on networking plus a chance to network with professionals and students from all over the world. The social includes lunch and door prizes. Here are a few highlights about the scientific program (http://bit.ly/mpgsJm): In a panel on Statistical Sciences, Dr. Bin Yu (University of California Berkeley, USA) will focus on the massive amounts of data collection in science, engineering, social science, finance and other fields, enabled by great advances in information technology. Dr. Zhi Geng (Peking University, China) will talk about statistical approaches for evaluating and discovering causal effects and networks. The Fluid Mechanics theme will be highlighted by an invited talk by Pierre Sagaut (Pierre et Marie Curie, France) who will explain the significance of turbulent flow simulation in both fundamental research and engineering applications. The talk will cover recent advances in uncertainty quantification in addition to turbulence models. Description of turbulent flows and investigation of their properties as well as control problems connected with fluid flows will be among the topics presented in the Mathematical Fluid dynamics minisymposium organized by Andrei Fursikov (Moscow State University, Russia). Ron Kimmel (Technion Israel Institute of Technology, Israel) will talk about geometric objects as metric spaces, which allow a better understanding of facial similarities and body posturing. As part of the Image and Signal Processing theme, his invited lecture will elucidate on image and shape analysis in the area of image processing and computer graphics. As part of the same theme, Vicent Caselles (Universitat Pompeu-Fabra, Spain) will address image recovery in the case of missing and corrupted images. The talk will focus on the applications of image inpainting and recovery in video and cinema post-production. The panel on Computational and Modeling Challenges in Industry will address just that. An invited talk by Peter Fritzson (Linköping University, Sweden) will give an overview of emergent computer languages that support modeling in addition to programming. The lecture will specifically focus on Modelica, a language used for mathematical modeling and simulation of complex systems. Look up the full program (click here: http://bit.ly/gWWrGk) to browse a complete list (http://bit.ly/cBHdGk) of topics for the thematic minisymposia, each of which includes a Lead Lecture followed by six session speakers. We look forward to seeing you in Vancouver!

Due to numerous requests, the submission deadline is extended to 3 June 2011. Shanghai is the largest city in China, with famous historical and cultural heritage. Attractions include Yuyuan Garden ("Happy Garden" built in Ming Dynasty), Shanghai Museum with 120,000 pieces of rare relics, Shanghai World Financial Center, Jade Buddha Temple (Song Dynasty), Oriental Pearl TV Tower, Zhujiajiao Water Town, and Expo 2010 site. All papers in conference proceedings will be indexed by both EI Compendex and ISTP, as well as included in the IEEE Xplore (IEEE Conference Record Number for CISP'11: 18205; IEEE Conference Record Number for BMEI'11: 18206. CISP-BMEI 2008-2010 papers have already been indexed in EI Compendex). Substantially extended versions of best papers will be considered for publication in a CISP'11-BMEI'11 special issue of the Computers and Electrical Engineering journal (SCI-indexed). CISP-BMEI is a premier international forum for scientists and researchers to present the state of the art of multimedia, signal processing, biomedical engineering and informatics. The previous CISP-BMEI each attracted over 3000 submissions from all over the world, with acceptance rate around 50%. The registration fee of US$400 includes proceedings, lunches, dinners, banquet, coffee breaks, and all technical sessions. CISP'11-BMEI'11 is technically co-sponsored by the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. To promote international participation of researchers from outside the country/region where the conference is held (i.e., China's mainland), researchers outside of China's mainland are encouraged to propose invited sessions. The first author of each paper in an invited session must not be affiliated with an organization in China's mainland. All papers in the invited sessions can be marked as "Invited Paper". The organizer(s) for each invited session with at least 6 registered papers will (jointly) enjoy an honorarium of USD 400. Invited session organizers will solicit submissions, conduct reviews and recommend accept/reject decisions on the submitted papers. Invited session organizers will be able to set their own submission and review schedules, as long as a set of recommended papers is determined by 15 August 2011. Each invited session proposal should include: (1) the name, bio, and contact information of each organizer of the invited session; (2) the title and a short synopsis of the invited session. Please send your proposal to CISP-BMEI@dhu.edu.cn For more information, visit the conference web page: http://cisp-bmei.dhu.edu.cn If you have any questions after visiting the conference web page, please email the secretariat at CISP-BMEI@dhu.edu.cn Join us at this major event in exciting Shanghai !!!

The ceremony was held at the start of AIP 2011 in College Station, Texas. The international prize committee consisted of Martin Burger, Hyeonbae Kang, Yaroslav Kurylev, George Papanicolaou and William Symes (chair). The committee citation reads: "The Calder\'on Prize is awarded to Guillaume Bal, for his deep and innovative research in analysis and numerical analysis of waves in strongly scattering materials, radiative transport, inverse problems of waves, diffusion and transport, and applications to medical and other imaging technologies, particularly photoacoustic tomography." Previous winners of the award were Matti Lassas in 2007 and Martin Burger in 2009. Bal received the PhD at the University of Paris VI in France in 1997 under the direction of Yvonne Maday. His PhD thesis ``Coupling of Equations and Homogeneization in Neutron Transport" won the Jean-Pierre Lepetit Prize for the best PhD thesis defended in 1997-1998 at the Direction des Etudes et Recherches d'Electricit\'e de France (EDF). He was a postdoc at Stanford 1997-1999 and L.E. Dickson Instructor at the University of Chicago 1999-2001. He became Assistant Professor at Columbia in 2001 and Full Professor in 2008. Other awards include an Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship in 2003 and an NSF Career Award, also in 2003.
