Iterative Solvers for Large Linear Systems

In 1952, M. Hestenes and E. Stiefel published their seminal paper ``Methods of conjugate gradients for solving linear systems'' in J. Research Nat. Bur. Standards 49 (1952), 409--436''. This conference has the purpose to commemorate this event, review the early and later developments, survey the tremendous impact of the CG paper, and discuss current research in the area of Krylov space methods and their preconditioning. Simultaneously, it will host a celebration of Professor Gene Golub's 70th birthday.
