The objective of the three day meeting is to bring together people from the areas of Control Theory, Signal and Image Processing and Computational Linear Algebra to discuss recent advances, trends and future directions for research on fast algorithms. This will offer a unique opportunity for interaction among these groups and will provide a forum of interdisciplinary communication that should encourage researchers to develop a new sense of participation and a new perception of these areas as closely related scientific disciplines. The Symposium will feature a special emphasis on modern methods in scientific computing and linear algebra relevant to digital control, signal and image processing. For such applications it is important to consider ingredients such as 1) sophisticated mathematical models of the problems, including a priori knowledge, 2) rigorous mathematical theories to understand the difficulties of solving problems which are often ill-posed, and 3) fast algorithms for either real-time or data-massive computations. Aspects of each of these three ingredients will be discussed by speakers in the Symposium by way of short courses, invited and contributed lectures, and invited and contributed mini-symposiums on relevant topics. On June 6 a set of tutorial short courses will be given. The Summer Meeting of the Canadian Mathematical Society (CMS) is being held in Winnipeg on June 7, 8, 9, 1997 and hence overlaps with the ILAS Workshop on June 7 and 8. A CMS Session on Linear Algebra organized by ILAS/IIMS will be held on June 9, 1997. The Winnipeg Symposium and short courses are the first of their kind for ILAS. On June 6 there will be an ILAS Workshop which will be open to participants of the CMS meeting. Date ILAS CMS June 6 Tutorial Short Courses June 7, 8 Symposium Annual Meeting June 9 ILAS/IIMS Session on Linear Algebra* *The main speakers are Roger Horn (Utah) and Paul Van Dooren (University Catholique de Louvain). The Registration Fee is $150.00. An additional $60.00 will enable ILAS participants to attend the CMS Summer Meeting. The CMS program will be available later on the IIMS Web page.
