		Special Sessions

CALL FOR SPECIAL SESSIONS

Acceptance to give a talk does not guarantee acceptance in the Proceedings. The articles or extended abstracts of the Proceedings will be refereed independently of whether a presentation is to be delivered. It is important for everyone for the Proceedings to be of the highest possible quality in content and that it be refereed.

CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS IN SPECIAL SESSIONS

At this time, CMMSE solicits Participants for the Special Sessions announced below. Please email directly to the session organizer to be accepted. We will close out the Proceedings May 18, 2007. We will close out the schedule June 1, 2007.

Approximation in High Dimensions. The aim is to bring together experts and their students to discuss topics in placement of points (design), construction of algorithms for solving problems in high dimensions, the curse of dimensionality, tractability, energy, and metrics.	Steven Damelin, Georgia Southern University, USA & Fred Hickernell, Illinois Institute of Technology, USA	damelin@georgiasouthern.edu & fred@math.iit.edu
Computational Spectral Theory In recent years spectral theory for differential operators has seen many important developments. Both direct and inverse problems have been considered, and new techniques have emerged from many contributors.
