Dear Colleagues - participants of W04 (dated Dec 4, 2003) Large Scale Nonlinear and Semidefinite Programming (now also: Workshop in memory of Jos Sturm) This email is to all the participants/speakers. We have modified the workshop web page at: http://orion.math.uwaterloo.ca/~hwolkowi/w04workshop.d/readme.html to reflect the fact that this is in memory of our dear colleague Jos Sturm. We have planned a special session in memory of Jos: http://orion.math.uwaterloo.ca/~hwolkowi/w04workshop.d/wphotos.d/preschd.html#F4 We have invited friends, colleagues, and family members. A special issue of published (refereed) papers is also planned. We are asking for a donation ($50 U.S., $65 Canadian) to help with the travel costs for the family as well as to set up a prize in Jos' name. See https://www.fields.utoronto.ca/cgi-bin/process?FORM=sturmdonate Again - please note that we have a limited amount of space available and that our budget includes breakfast/lunch/banquet for all participants. Please tell us if you will NOT attend.
