Thank you. Sincerely yours, Jean Guy Caputo INVERSE PROBLEMS AND NONLINEARITY, THEORY AND APPLICATIONS Universit\'e Montpellier II (France) June 20-24, 2000 CALL FOR PAPERS 30 years ago Pierre Sabatier started the RCP264 as an annual meeting on the emerging field of inverse problems. The subject has since grown tremendously and become truly pluri-disciplinary involving pure and applied mathematics, physics, numerical analysis, geophysics and signal analysis to mention just a few components. Initially an off-shoot of inverse problems, the theory of inverse scattering for non linear wave equations has developed considerably due to the combination of analysis and computations. In the spirit of RCP264, the purpose of the workshop is to bring together scientists from both fields interested in tackling practical problems via theoretical methods and numerical algorithms, in the very pleasant setting of the University of Montpellier in southern France. Both inverse scattering and general inverse problems will be considered with applications in acoustics, geophysics, mathematical physics and mechanics. Specific topics will cover ill-posed problems, variational methods and spectral techniques, as well as model identification and shape optimization. The list is to be considered open especially regarding new applied mathematics methods or computations. The workshop will also be the occasion to celebrate Pierre Sabatier's 65th birthday and his active engagement in the promotion of Inverse problems through the RCP264 and the Journal "Inverse Problems". The members of the scientific advisory committee are listed below. They will help us selecting lectures if necessary. As in the previous workshops, lecturers are urged to make a pedagogical effort in order to be understood by people of various fields, and all newcomers are encouraged to present their own interest in inverse problems and inverse methods. The workshop will take place from Tuesday June 20 2000 to Saturday June 24th 2000 at the Universit\'e de Montpellier II in the beautiful medieval city of Montpellier on the Mediterranean, easily accessible by air or train. The registration fee is 600 ff (less than 100 USdollars at the current rate). The organizers have selected hotels where participants will find accommodations.

This seminar will be sponsored by the School of Engineering and the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at The University of Texas at Arlington. 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, Volterra and other integral equations 2. Inverse Problems in Heat Transfer - inverse heat conduction, inverse Stefan problem, thermal property estimation 3. Inverse Problems in Mechanics - applications in dynamics, petroleum engineering, 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, Professor emeritus, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Michigan State University · Professor George Dulikravich, Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at The University of Texas at Arlington · Professor A. T. Watson, Department of Chemical Engineering, Texas A&M University · A guest speaker If the number of submissions warrants additional program time, a poster session will be included. How to Register or Submit a Paper The seminar fee is $65. This fee includes continental breakfast both days of the seminar, a Texas barbecue on Monday evening, and a copy of the proceedings.
