News:
- Amber will coordinate a telecon with Globus Online folks to investigate possible use at SLAC. She is looking for interested parties to participate.
- the Dan Hitchcock (ASCR) visit fell through

We had a discussion on the planned CD review process. We came to the idea of having a full up external review sometime next year ("spring?") and working our way up to it with incremental looks at current systems with targeted internal documentation and reviews. These could then form the basis for the big review.
Amber and Arno met with Margot Gerritsen on Tuesday 7/26 11AM
- Margot: Director, Institute for Computational & Mathematical Engineering, and Associate Professor, Department of Energy Resources Engineering, Stanford University
- The goal is cross-fertilization between Stanford ICME and SLAC through commonly held seminars on scientific computing
Margot has kindly sent us an e-mail with a recap of what we discussed (with minor edits by Arno):
- ICME seminars are Mondays 4:15pm
- Fall quarter starts for seminars on Oct 3
- For Fall, ICME has a "theme" that is medical or bio-engineering applications
and computational tools that can potentially or are already applied to these problems
- For Winter, the seminar is organized by Farhat (Stanford) with a focus on fluid mechanics,
reduced order modeling and uncertainty quantification
- For Spring, ICME will collaborate with computational geosciences. This includes
any modeling related to earth and space, as well as relevant techniques such
as inverse modeling, uncertainty quantification, data filtering and assimilation.
- The first SLAC seminar is October 10
- Start time at SLAC and Stanford will be same (4:15) - Stanford students have classes until 3:45, need time to come to SLAC
- Seminars may be taken by students for 1 unit credit. Students will sign up
at start of the quarter for a particular talk and will write a small research paper
commenting on talk contents and related literature, perhaps with guidance
of questions posed by the speaker. Speaker will judge papers. A cap is imposed per talk on the number of students
signing up for the paper.
- Speakers for the ICME seminars are typically invited out for dinner afterwards. SLAC people will be invited to join.
- For Fall, we have the preliminary schedule:
- Oct 3 ICME tbd
- Oct 10 SLAC tbd
- Oct 17 ICME Fumiko Hoeft about analysis of brain functions and diseases (ADD, Alzheimers)
- Oct 24 ICME, Charlie Taylor on flow through arteries and the heart
- Oct 31 ICME tbd
- Nov 7 ICME, Dan Niles, financial modeling and stock markets
(sorry, bit out of whack, but need to accommodate him for other reasons) - Nov 14 SLAC tbd
- Nov 21 No seminar (Thanksgiving break)
- Nov 28 ICME tbd
- Dec 5 SLAC (last seminar of quarter)
- Action items:
- Arno needs to find out if we can have a room at SLAC for the monthly seminar on Mondays.
