by Chi-Kwong Li, Weiyan Yu, and Fuzheng Zhang

The 2014 International Workshop on Matrices and Opeators took place at
the Hainan Normal Univerity at Haikou from July 24 to 27, 2014.

A week before the workshop, Haikous was seriously hit by a typhoon, 
which was the strongest typhoon in 41 years. Luckily, the town
recovered quickly from the damage. Despite some minor adjustments, 
the workshop ran well because of the hard work of the working team of 
the Hainan Normal University.

There were about 100 participants from different regions inculding 
China, Canada, Iran, Hong Kong, Phillipines, USA, Taiwan, etc.
There were 35 talks, about half of them in English and half of them in 
Chinese. A workshop dinner took place on July 25, and a tour to the
bio-diversity museum was arranged on July 26. Some participants went on
a tour of Haikou and Qionghai on July 27 to experience Hainan.
  
Also, it was decided that the 2015 workshop will take place in Shaanxi.
