Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The 6th International Conference on Large-Scale Scienti c Computations (LSSC 2007) was held in Sozopol, Bulgaria, June 5 9, 2007. The conference was organized by the Institute for Parallel Processing at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences in cooperation with SIAM (Society for Industrial and Applied Ma- ematics). Partial support was also provided from project BIS-21++ funded by the European Commission in FP6 INCO via grant 016639/2005. The conference was devoted to the 60th anniversary of Richard E. Ewing. ProfessorEwingwasawardedthemedaloftheBulgarianAcademyofSciencesfor hiscontributionstotheBulgarianmathematicalcommunityandtotheAcademy ofSciences.Hiscareerspanned33years,primarilyinacademia,butalsoincluded industry. Since 1992 he worked at Texas A&M University being Dean of Science and Vice President of Research, as well as director of the Institute for Scienti c Computation (ISC), which he founded in 1992. Professor Ewing is internati- ally well known with his contributions in applied mathematics, mathematical modeling, and large-scale scienti c computations. He inspired a generation of researchers with creative enthusiasm for doing science on scienti c compu- tions. The preparatorywork on this volume was almost done when the sad news came to us: Richard E. Ewing passed away on December 5, 2007 of an apparent heart attack while driving home from the o ce.

Riassunto

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Large-Scale Scientific Computations, LSSC 2007, held in Sozopol, Bulgaria, in June 2007. The 81 revised full papers presented together with 5 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. The papers are organized in topical sections on robust multilevel and hierarchical preconditioning methods; monte carlo: tools, applications, distributed computing; operator splittings, their application and realization; recent advances in methods and applications for large scale computations and optimization of coupled engineering problems; control systems; environmental modelling; computational grid and large-scale problems; application of metaheuristics to large-scale problems; and contributed talks.
