This seminar will be sponsored by the School of Engineering and the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Aeronautical Engineering and Mechanics at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Call for Papers Papers are solicited from all areas involving inverse methods and their applications. Four broad categories are being used to organize sessions. These categories and possible sub-topics are: 1. Mathematical Aspects of Inverse Problems -- inverse theory and methods, uniqueness and stability considerations 2. Inverse Problems in Heat Transfer -- inverse heat conduction, inverse Stefan problem, thermal property estimation 3. Inverse Problems in Mechanics -- applications in dynamics, shape optimization, contact problems, control of fluid flow 4. Other Inverse Problems -- bio-engineering inverse problems, inverse scattering and tomography, etc. Presentations will be informal twenty minute talks. In addition, there will be forty minute invited talks by: Professor James V. Beck, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Michigan State University Professor David Isaacson, Department of Mathematical Sciences, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Professor Joyce McLaughlin, Ford Foundation Professor of Mathematics, Department of Mathematical Sciences, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Professor Daniel Tortorelli, Departments of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering and Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana. If the number of submissions warrants additional program time, a poster session will be included. About the Workshop A workshop on selected topics in inverse problem solving is being planned in conjunction with this year's seminar. Tentative topics of coverage include mathematical aspects and relationships between different types of inverse problems, use of genetic algorithms in solving inverse problems, and dynamic programming techniques applied to inverse problems. Everyone registered for the seminar are welcome to attend the workshop. The workshop will provide general overviews in a tutorial format. The workshop will be on Sunday, June 15th, in the afternoon. How to Register or Submit a Paper The seminar fee is $65. This fee includes access to the seminar and workshop, lunches both days of the seminar, a barbecue on Monday evening, and a copy of the proceedings. If you are interested in registering for this conference, please contact the chair to receive registration material. If you would like to submit a paper, please submit a tentative title and an abstract by March 1, 1997.

Beginning with the 1997 issues, the full text of articles from our 11 journals can be accessed in three formats: PostScript, Adobe Acrobat PDF, and DVI. As a special promotion for 1997, electronic subscriptions are offered, upon request, at no additional charge to members and institutions who subscribe to the 1997 print version. Electronic-only subscriptions are available as well. Headquartered in Philadelphia, SIAM was founded to advance the application of mathematics to science and industry, promote mathematical research, and provide media for the exchange of information and ideas among mathematicians, engineers, and scientists. SIAM has grown from a few hundred members at its inception in 1951 to over 9000 members today. For more information about SIAM and SIAM Journals Online access our web site at http://www.siam.org.
