The meeting will begin with lunch on Monday 10th April and finish at lunchtime on Wednesday 12th April. The purpose of the meeting is twofold. To discuss inverse problems in rheology and materials characterization, and also to provide a forum for the discussion of new techniques from areas outside rheology which are either already beginning to make an impact on materials characterization or have the potential to do so. To provide a workshop ambience, the meeting will be restricted to about 40 participants. A sample of the topics relevant to the meeting is: The determination of linear viscoelastic functions. The determination of molecular weight distributions. Capillary viscometry. The inverse viscous heating problem in viscometry. Acoustic and optical back-scattering. NMR spectroscopy. Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Dielectric spectroscopy Atomic force spectroscopy The following have agreed to speak : R.S.Anderssen (Canberra); W R Bowen (Swansea); R.Challis (Nottingham); I Emri (Ljubljana); Chr Friedrich (Freiburg); J Honerkamp (Freiburg); J Mewis (Leuven); M J W Povey (Leeds); R A Williams (Leeds); H H Winter (Amherst). The Lake Vyrnwy Hotel is located in one of the most spectacular regions of Wales. It is well known for its levels of comfort and excellent cuisine. The nearest airport is Manchester (England) which is a little over an hour's drive away.The registration fee, which includes the cost of accommodation and all meals, is £340, and is due by 14 February 2000. The cost for an accompanying person sharing a room with a delegate is £100.
