Report Date: Wed, 24 Jul 1996 CONFERENCE REPORT 2nd International Conference on Inverse Problems in Engineering (2ICIPE) June 10-15, 1996 LeCroisic, FRANCE The Second International Conference on Inverse Problems in Engineering was held in the beautiful setting of the Port aux Rocs resort hotel at LeCroisic, FRANCE. The conference was attended by over 110 engineers, mathematicians, and scientists from around the world. France contributed the largest contingent with about half the total number of delgates, but attendees came from many other countries including USA, Russia, Japan, Deutschland(Germany), Ukraine, Italy, Norway, Sweden, UK, Austria, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, Denmark, Uzbekistan, Canada, Brazil and Holland. In addition to the wonderful food, the participants enjoyed four keynote lectures by authorities in the field from different technical and geographic areas. These lectures were given by J. V. Beck (Heat Transfer/USA), Bill Rundell (Mathematics/USA), Shiro Kubo (Mechanics/Japan), and O. M. Alifanov (Heat Transfer/Russia). Particularly enjoyable was the lecture delivered by Bill Rundell on the second day of the conference. Preliminary proceedings were distributed at the conference, but bound formal proceedings will be prepared by the Engineering Foundataion. As some of the papers required further review before publication, these proceedings may not be available until the end of the year. By the way, all of the keynote lectures should be available in the final proceedings. The conference was beautifully organized under the direction of the conference chairman, Didier Delaunay of ISITEM (University of Nantes). He and his many assistants (especially Ms. Isabelle Mace', the conference secretary) are due a large debt of gratitude. Plans are already beginning for the 3rd International Conference on Inverse Problems in Engineering (3icipe), which is tentatively scheduled for June, 1999. Keith Woodbury (USA) will be the conference chairman, and co-chair support will be provided by Marc Bonnet (FRANCE), Yvon Jarny (FRANCE), and Shiro Kubo (JAPAN). The area of inverse problems is thriving in many countries. There are plans to have national conferences in the USA and France in 1997 and Japan has an active large committee. Russia is planning an international meeting in Moscow, possibly for 1997. Mathematics societies are having meetings on this topic. Other countries, societies and groups regularly have sessions on inverse problems. The area is growing in size and importance. Respectfully Submitted, Keith A.

The foundations are mathematically well established, and its application areas cover the whole area of digital imaging. This first international conference is an extension of successful workshops of the "Diffusion" consortium, a US-NSF/EC-ESPRIT collaboration (1993-1996). The conference will combine tutorial sessions with a scientific single track 3-day meeting. Papers are solicited in (but not restricted to) the following areas: Methods Linear Scale-Space Theory Nonlinear Scale-Space Theory Geometric Scale-Spaces Special Topics Axiomatic Foundation Differential Geometry and Invariants Discrete Scale-Spaces and Algorithms Scale Selection and Deep Structure Biological Relevance Relation to Regularization Methods Fast implementations Applications Optic Flow and Stereo Segmentation Shape Analysis Texture Analysis Applications in Medicine and Industry Papers will be peer reviewed by three independent reviewers. The proceedings of the meeting will be published. Conference Chairs: Bart M. ter Haar Romeny (chair) Luc M.J. Florack Jan J. Koenderink Max A.

Subject: Workshop on PDE-97 Date: Tue, 23 Jul 1996 First announcement V WORKSHOP ON PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS: THEORY, COMPUTATION AND APPLICATIONS July 14 - 18, 1997 Instituto de Matematica Pura e Aplicada - IMPA Estrada Dona Castorina 110, Rio de Janeiro, RJ - 22460-320, Brazil The Workshop will cover the following topics: * The study of fundamental solutions of nonlinear conservation laws. They describe the evolution of many systems arising in fluid dynamics, elasticity, flow in porous media, etc, often giving rise to mixed type problems. * The general theory of involutive systems of first order linear PDE's, with focus mainly on its strong connection with Cauchy-Riemann manifolds and multi-dimensional complex analysis. * The analysis of nonlinear evolution equations and their applications to Science and Technology. Within this category topics of special interest are well-posedness issues, as well as completely integrable systems and their perturbations. * The study of inverse problems that arise in partial differential equations, with applications such as computerized tomography and medical imaging. * The numerical analysis of solution methods, as well as exploration of the related theory via scientific computing. The Workshop will cover theory, applications, and numerical methods, in order to reflect the interplay between all kinds of differential equations. One of its main goals is to promote the interaction between theoretical and applied scientists. There will also be talks on other topics of interest to the participants.

ENGL" Subject: short term research position (inverse problems) in linz,austria Date: Tue, 23 Jul 1996 We might have money available for funding an additional postdoctoral research position in inverse problems at the Johannes Kepler Universitaet in Linz, Austria, for about six months starting this October or November. We are interested in researchers whose interests and experience match ours closely enough for successful joint research to be possible within this relatively short period. We are currently mostly interested in regularization methods for nonlinear ill-posed inverse problems (also large scale, in combination with efficient solvers for the direct problems; see our WWW-page, address belo, for details). Those who are interested and match these criteria should contact me with details about their interest and experience urgently by E-Mail. Heinz W. Engl Prof.Dr.Heinz W.
