The NMA 2002 Conference was organized by the Central Laboratory for Parallel Processing at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences in cooperation with SIAM (Society for Industrial and Applied Mat- matics) and GAMM (Gesellschaft fur .. Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik). Co-organizers of this traditional scienti?c meeting were the Institute of Mat- matics and Informatics at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and the Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics at the University of So?a. The conference was devoted to the 70th anniversary of the distinguished Bulgarian mathematician academician Blagovest Sendov - the founder of the Bulgarian school in - merical analysis, the teacher of dozens of Ph. D. students, the author of more than 270 papers, textbooks, and monographs. He is the scholar who has been at the center of the mathematical life in Bulgaria for about 50 years.Over the years he headed the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, the University of So?a, the Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics of the University of So?a, the C- tral Laboratory for Parallel Processing of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, the Department of Mathematical Modeling of the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics, the Union of Bulgarian Mathematicians, etc. He represented with distinctionBulgarianscienceinsuchworld-recognizedorganizationsasIFIP (- ternationalFederationforInformationProcessing),theInternationalAssociation ofUniversities,theInternationalCouncilofScienti?cUnions,theBalkanMat- maticalUnion,etc.

ProfessorEwingwasawardedthemedaloftheBulgarianAcademyofSciencesfor hiscontributionstotheBulgarianmathematicalcommunityandtotheAcademy ofSciences.Hiscareerspanned33years,primarilyinacademia,butalsoincluded industry. Since 1992 he worked at Texas A&M University being Dean of Science and Vice President of Research, as well as director of the Institute for Scienti?c Computation (ISC), which he founded in 1992. Professor Ewing is internati- ally well known with his contributions in applied mathematics, mathematical modeling, and large-scale scienti?c computations. He inspired a generation of researchers with creative enthusiasm for doing science on scienti?c compu- tions.The preparatorywork on this volume was almost done when the sad news came to us: Richard E. Ewing passed away on December 5, 2007 of an apparent heart attack while driving home from the o?ce.
