The first part of this volume gathers the lecture notes of the
courses of the "XVII Escuela Hispano-Francesa", held in Gijon,
Spain, in June 2016. Each chapter is devoted to an advanced topic
and presents state-of-the-art research in a didactic and
self-contained way. Young researchers will find a complete guide to
beginning advanced work in fields such as High Performance
Computing, Numerical Linear Algebra, Optimal Control of Partial
Differential Equations and Quantum Mechanics Simulation, while
experts in these areas will find a comprehensive reference guide,
including some previously unpublished results, and teachers may
find these chapters useful as textbooks in graduate courses. The
second part features the extended abstracts of selected research
work presented by the students during the School. It highlights new
results and applications in Computational Algebra, Fluid Mechanics,
Chemical Kinetics and Biomedicine, among others, offering
interested researchers a convenient reference guide to these latest
advances.
With essays by Pedro Alonso, Pedro Ălvarez, Nicole Cristi,
Francisca Espinosa, Mario Garcés, Michael Lemon, Eden Medina,
Carlos Montes de Oca, Hugo Palmarola, Marian E. Schlotterbeck,
Martin Tironi, Rita Torres, Camilo Trumper and Peter Winn. From
1970 to 1973 Chile carried out on a political experiment in which
socialist change would occur peacefully and with respect for
existing democratic institutions. This “Chilean road to
socialism,” as it was often called, offered a unique political
third way at the height of the Cold War – one that broke from the
opposing models put forth by the United States and the Soviet
Union. This short and abruptly ended period in Chilean history
resulted in product and communication design that powerfully
demonstrates how design can influence social behavior and identity
and foster solidarity and cohesion. How to Design a Revolution
documents this Chilean visual language born out of exceptional
circum- stances. The publication broadens the study of influential
and consequential visual languages of the social (protest)
movements of the1960s and1970s, such as the Cuban Revolution, the
Vietnam War and May 68, and illustrates how design came to reflect
the dynamics of this political moment while also becoming a tool
for political change.

This book constitutes the refereed workshop proceedings of the 16th
International Conference on Algorithms and Architectures for
Parallel Processing, ICA3PP 2016, held in Granada, Spain, in
December 2016. The 30 full papers presented were carefully reviewed
and selected from 58 submissions. They cover many dimensions of
parallel algorithms and architectures, encompassing fundamental
theoretical approaches, practical experimental projects, and
commercial components and systems trying to push beyond the limits
of existing technologies, including experimental efforts,
innovative systems, and investigations that identify weaknesses in
existing parallel processing technology.

In a practice spanning nearly two decades, Jose Dávila has created
an expressive body of work that explores the visual tropes and
iconic symbols of art, architecture, and urban design. Initially
trained as an architect and self-educated as a visual artist,
Dávila creates sculptures, installations and photographic works
that simultaneously emulate, critique, and pay homage to
20th-century avant-garde art and architecture, referencing artists
and architects from Luis Barragán to Josef Albers and Donald Judd.
Humor and melancholy co-mingle in works that often explore the
tension between industrial and organic materials and the forces of
compression and balance. This monograph assesses the full scope of
Dávila’s practice in all media for the first time, and includes
texts attesting to the historical and social dimensions of
Dávila’s art. Essays address the artist’s early pieces, his
exercises on balance, sculpture, graphics and paintings, and his
works in public space.
Esta investigacion se desarrolla en tres ambitos de imponente
amplitud: la narracion autobiografica, el texto literario y la obra
de Salvador Dali. El eje vertebrador es la consideracion de la
autobiografia como obra artistica, lo cual conlleva un analisis de
los diferentes niveles del texto, asi como de sus valores
literarios. La vida secreta de Salvador Dali, publicada en 1942, es
mas que un texto que sirve de ejemplificacion de cuestiones
especulativas; es una obra donde se expresa de forma excepcional la
complejidad de los temas que cubre la reflexion teorica sobre lo
autobiografico, desde el problema de la referencia, la veracidad y
la simulacion a la creacion de realidad, lenguaje e identidad,
pasando por cuestiones ya clasicas como la (in)compatibilidad entre
la ficcion y la memoria biografica.
