Many interesting papers will be presented from the mathematical basis to the frontier in applications of inverse analysis. As the chair person of this symposium, I would like to welcome you to participate and join us for fruitful discussion to make some breakthrough of research on the inverse problems. You can pre-register through the web page of the symposium no later than January 15, 2003 with a reduced registration fee. I am looking forward to seeing you at the ISIP2003. With best wishes for the coming new Year 2003, Yours sincerely, Masa. Tanaka Chair of the ISIP2003, on behalf of the Symposium Organizing Committee Nagano: December 31, 2003 Department of Mechanical Systems Engineering Faculty of Engineering, SHINSHU UNIVERSITY 4-17-1 Wakasato, Nagano 380-8553, Japan Fax: +81-26-269-5124; Tel: +81-26-269-5120 dtanaka@gipwc.shinshu-u.ac.jp ----------------------------- From: Bill Lionheart Subject: 4th Conference on Biomedical Applications of Electrical Impedance Date: Wed, 22 Jan 2003 4th Conference on Biomedical Applications of Electrical Impedance Tomography UMIST, Manchester April 23-25 2003. http://www.eit.org.uk CALL FOR ABSTRACTS This year the annual EIT meeting will be held at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology, Manchester (UMIST), UK. As usual the themes of the meeting will be CLINICAL APPLICATIONS OF EIT SYSTEM DESIGN RECONSTRUCTION ALGORITHMS We also welcome contributions from the GEOPHYSICAL, INDUSTRIAL PROCESS MONITORING and NONDESTRUCTIVE TESTING communities using similar electromagnetic techniques. In this way we aim to encourage interdisciplinary collaboration. As usual EIT will be interpreted in a broad sense and includes techniques using inductive or capacitive coupling to measure electromagnetic properties in the interior of objects. Please submit abstracts by email to abstracts@eit.org.uk. The abstract should be in ASCII text or if mathematical symbols are required in LaTeX, and should consist of TITLE, AUTHORS, INSTITUTION, followed by an abstract of no more than 300 words. The deadline for abstracts is Friday 28th February. We would prefer brief abstracts on time than detailed ones late. The conference registration web site will be at http://www.meeting.co.uk/eit The conference fee of £85 includes lunch, coffee and the conference outing. We will eat in local restaurants, and budget accommodation is available. In contrast to previous years this meeting has no support so there are no reduced rates for postgraduate students. For registration queries contact Janet Adnams at Manchester Conference Centre. It has been suggested that we hold an EIDORS master class, focusing on forward modelling and reconstruction in three dimensions on the day prior to the meeting -- April 22nd. Please indicate to Bill Lionheart bill.lionheart@umist.ac.uk if you are interested in such an event. If there is sufficient interest we will run it. We look forward to seeing you in Manchester Bill Lionheart, Richard Bayford Conference organizers ----------------------------- From: Gunther Uhlmann Subject: PIMS Workshop on Inverse Problems and Medical Imaging Date: Wed, 29 Jan 2003 The PIMS Workshop on "Inverse Problems and Medical Imaging" will be held August 4-8, 2003 at the Pacific Institute of Mathematical Sciences (PIMS) site at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada.
