Argonne National Laboratory: Mathematics and Computer Science Division The basic mission of the MCS Division is increase scientific productivity in the 21st century by providing intellectual and technical leadership in the computing sciences -- computer science, applied computational mathematics, and computational science. Projects in the division range from algorithm development and software design in core areas such as optimization, to exploration of new technologies such as distributed (Grid) computing and bioinformatics, to numerical simulations in challenging areas such as climate modeling. http://www.mcs.anl.gov Argonne National Laboratory TBA January 27, 2010|TBA http://www.mcs.anl.gov/events/detail.php?id=710 January 27, 2010| TBA January 13, 2010|TBA http://www.mcs.anl.gov/events/detail.php?id=734 January 13, 2010| TBA January 6, 2010|TBA http://www.mcs.anl.gov/events/detail.php?id=708 January 6, 2010| Parallel scripting with Swift December 9, 2009|TBA http://www.mcs.anl.gov/events/detail.php?id=707 December 9, 2009| Characterizing Economic Forecast Uncertainty with Ensemble Simulations and Large Scale Analysis in CIM-EARTH December 3, 2009|The Petascale Active Data Store (PADS) Fall Seminar Series is a forum for discussions of data intensive computing.
