Dear Colleague,
Dear Cumhur Coşkun Küçüközmen,

It is our great pleasure to inform you that as the Institute of Applied Mathematics (IAM) at the Middle East Technical University (METU), we are organizing an ” International Conference on Applied and Computational Mathematics ” (ICACM) on the occasion of the 10 th Anniversary of the Foundation of IAM . The conference will be held at the METU Campus, in Ankara, Turkey between October 3-6, 2012.

The conference (ICACM) will highlight the recent advances in applied and computational mathematics and demonstrate their applicability to science, engineering as well as industry. In addition to the existing traditional strong focus on applied and computational mathematics, the special emphasis will be given to Cryptology, Coding Theory, Financial and Actuarial Mathematics, and Scientific Computing as well as related theory and applications .

We wish to invite you to submit your (extended) abstracts or the research papers for presentation at the conference . Note that the papers presented in the Conference will be published in the Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics ( JCAM ), provided that they fulfil the journal’s requirements. For JCAM, please see the related links: Abstracting and Indexing and Guide for Authors .

It is our pleasure to inform you that the following scientists have kindly accepted to be among the invited speakers in this particular and special occasion:

Plenary:
P. Deuflhard (Germany), A. Friedman (USA).

Invited:
M. J. Goovaerts (Belgium), G. McGuire (Ireland), F. Heß (Germany), M. Jeanblanc (France), J. Jost (Germany), R. Korn (Germany), K. Kunisch (Austria), B. Øksendal (Norway), K. M. Ostarzewski (USA), M. Pontier (France), B. Preneel (Belgium), H. M. Soner (Switzerland), M.G. Speranza (Italy).
