Conference Program

Time for each presentation, including questions and answers

For a paper with two or more authors, the speaker is shown in italics if known at press time.

The conference organizers expect every speaker of a scheduled presentation to register and attend the conference. If it becomes necessary for a speaker to cancel the presentation, the speaker is expected to find an alternate presenter immediately, preferably one of the speaker's co-authors. The speaker must inform the SIAM Conference Department immediately of any change in his/her scheduled presentation.

A "no-show" or canceled presentation can cause serious inconvenience to the attendees and conference organizers.

Refer to the Program-at-a-Glance for the conference schedule in table format.
