Meetings

Symposium on Simplicity in Algorithms is a new conference in theoretical computer science dedicated to advancing algorithms research by promoting simplicity and elegance in the design and analysis of algorithms. The benefits of simplicity are manifold: simpler algorithms manifest a better understanding of the problem at hand; they are more likely to be implemented and trusted by practitioners; they are more easily taught and are more likely to be included in algorithms textbooks; and they attract a broader set of researchers to difficult algorithmic problems.

The aim of ALENEX is to provide a forum for the presentation of original research in the design, implementation, and experimental evaluation of algorithms and data structures. Typical submissions will include an extensive experimental analysis of nontrivial algorithmic results, ideally bridging the gap between theory and practice. We also invite submissions that address methodological issues and standards in the experimental evaluation of algorithms and data structures.

Cleveland Clinic today announced the Top 10 Medical Innovations for 2020 at a multimedia presentation that capped off the 2019 Medical Innovation Summit.

The key to how coral reefs of the future will look and function--and how to protect them--could lie hidden in their ancient past. Marine species are on the move under climate change. Prof John Pandolfi and Prof Gretta Pecl are speaking about species on the move at the 2019 Coral Reef Futures Symposium in Sydney, today.

Registration is now open for the 11th The Eye and The Chip research congress, which will take place Nov. 10-12, 2019 at The Henry Hotel in Dearborn, Michigan. This year's research congress will focus on the relationship between neurobiology and nanoelectronics with respect to artificial vision. The ultimate goal of the research congress is to advance progress toward artificial vision for many people who suffer from blindness.

The 37th annual Women's Health Symposium will feature experts Drs. Deborah Estrin and Alka Gupta, who will provide unique perspectives on how we understand and are able to enhance wellness. Experts will discuss our current and future use of technology and integrative care to improve physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. The symposium will focus on how to optimize your lifestyle in the hope of living well and living long.

How can we ensure good healthcare and a healthy life for all? How is climate change affecting our health?

The National Academy of Medicine's (NAM) 49th Annual Meeting will include a scientific symposium Oct. 21 featuring a keynote address by Keith A. Wailoo, professor of history and public affairs at Princeton University, and panel discussions on data sharing and patient privacy; artificial intelligence in health care delivery; and the ethics and governance of human genome editing.

SIAM Symposium on Algorithm Engineering and Experiments (ALENEX20), SIAM Symposium on Simplicity in Algorithms (SOSA20), SIAM Symposium on Algorithmic Principles of Computer Systems (APOCS20), and the Theory Underlying Algorithms Workshop (TUNGA) will take place at the same location. SODA is jointly sponsored by the SIAM Activity Group on Discrete Mathematics and the ACM Special Interest Group on Algorithms and Computation Theory.

The two-day conference features discussions on transformative new technologies in the field, moving research from the lab to the clinic, and current challenges facing regenerative medicine. The meeting sessions feature 28 scientific presentations on topics including neurodegenerative disease, precision medicine, clinical trials, regenerative medicine, tissue renewal, organoids, diabetes, and cancer. Keynote addresses will be given by Nobel Laureate Dr. Shinya Yamanka and Dr. Hans Clevers.
