Past Events

For large oil and gas heterogeneous fields, vast amounts of seismic, geologic and dynamic reservoir data yield high-resolution geological models. These models involve mega (million) to giga (billion) grid block cells. Recent advances in the...

IMA in collaboration with PIMS is holding a 10-day workshop on Mathematical Modeling in Industry. The workshop is designed to provide graduate students and qualified advanced undergraduates from North America with first hand experience in industrial...

Fluids that exhibit physical behaviours which are not Newtonian are extremely common in nature and in industrial contexts. Equally prevalent are interfacial flows, multi-phase mixtures and suspensions. Examples include: mud, lava, polymer melts...

The 11th International Conference on Applied Cryptography and Network Security (ACNS 2013) will be held in Banff, Alberta, Canada. The conference seeks submissions from academia, industry, and government presenting novel research on all aspects of...

In the past three decades the field of Computer Graphics has experienced a revolution, benefiting from significant research and technical achievements. Creating detailed digital content is a major task in the Game, Film, and CAD industries, and...

Exploration and Production (E&P) of oil/gas involve economically valuable but complex tasks. They comprise workflows with pipelined processes and inter-related disciplines (e.g. Geophysics, Geology, Reservoir and Production Engineering, Business and...

When computing numerical approximations to problems with smooth solutions using regular grids, the error can have additional structure. The historical example of the Euler-McLaurin formula for the approximation of integrals with the trapezoidal rule...

British Columbia has recognized the potential of both conventional and unconventional oil and gas resources from coal-bed gas to tight gas, shale gas, carbon management (carbon sequestration) and conventional energy resources. Extraction...
