Consequently, there is an upsurge in the number of separate scientific meetings in each of these three general areas. The main objective of the INVERSE PROBLEMS, DESIGN AND OPTIMIZATION (IPDO) SYMPOSIUM is to bring together the three communities of researchers (inverse problems, design theory and evolutionary optimization experts) and provide a common forum for presenting different applications, problems and solution concepts. The three major areas of research to be covered by the IPDO Symposium have a number of things in common. For example, many methodologies for solving inverse problems employ optimization algorithms. On the other hand, optimization techniques generally do not employ methods of inverse design, which could potentially reduce the number of time-consuming analysis required by the typical evolutionary algorithms. Similarly, design theory is commonly not used by the optimization community, where formulation of the appropriate multiple objectives and system-of-systems design formulations are often performed using intuition and personal experience. The IPDO Symposium will offer the first-of-a-kind and, therefore unique, international forum that should provide an excellent basis for cross-fertilization of ideas and creation of new synergistic approaches and methodologies combining these three fields of research. SYMPOSIUM TOPICS The topics listed below give a general guideline for possible contributions: Acoustics Vibrations and structural dynamics Electromagnetism Nuclear transport Geophysics Multi-objective optimization ImagingDesign of experiments Heat and mass transfer Physical property estimation Fluid mechanics Signal and noise processing Solid mechanics Benchmark results Tomography Novel methodologies Chemistry and combustion Inverse scattering Materials processing Uncertainty and decision making Contributions dealing with practical applications are encouraged, such as in petrochemistry, aeronautics, astronautics, bio-medicine, transport and sensing of pollutants, materials processing, remote sensing, non-destructive evaluation, material property determination, acceleration of optimization procedures, etc. SUBMISSION, SELECTION, PRESENTATION AND PUBLICATION OF CONTRIBUTED PAPERS Authors should send a one-page abstract in pdf (Portable Document Format) to ipdo@lmt.coppe.ufrj.br as an attachment to their e-mail message by August 29, 2003. Authors will be informed about the acceptance of their abstracts by September 26, 2003. Detailed instructions for the preparation of full manuscripts will be posted on the IPDO website http://www.ipdo.lmt.coppe.ufrj.br. The submitted papers will be evaluated by two competent reviewers. Only the accepted papers that are effectively presented in the IPDO symposium will appear in the proceedings. The proceedings will be published as a bound volume and sent to the symposium participants through airmail within six months after the symposium is finished. A book of abstracts and a CD-ROM containing all accepted papers will be available for the participants during registration. Authors may consider their papers for further review and possible publication in the journal Inverse Problems in Engineering (http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/titles/10682767.html). When submitting the full papers to the IPDO symposium, the authors should indicate if they want to submit the papers to the Inverse Problems in Engineering journal as well. In this case, the review process will be more stringent and a third evaluation of the full paper will be requested. During the symposium, accepted papers will be presented in oral sessions held in the mornings and afternoons. Two tutorial sessions and a round-table discussion are scheduled in the late afternoons. Two keynote lecturers will be presented each day by prominent researchers from different fields.

LOCATION The IPDO symposium will be held in a hotel on Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. One of the major economic and cultural hubs of South America, the City of Rio de Janeiro sits at the heart of the Southeastern Region where 60% of the Brazilian GDP is concentrated. A cosmopolitan metropolis, known worldwide for its scenic beauty and its natural resources, the city provides a harmonious and agreeable environment for its inhabitants and visitors. The City of Rio de Janeiro, which occupies an area of 1,261 km2, and has a population of approximately six million, recognizes that one of its main virtues is the kindness and hospitality with which its residents welcome all visitors. Rio de Janeiro is ranked among the top destinations in the world for fairs, symposia, congresses, conventions and exhibitions. Its exuberant natural resources include 90 Km of fine sand beaches, the Tijuca National Park, which includes the largest urban forest in the world, with 3,200 hectares of Atlantic Forest, the State Parks of Pedra Branca, Desengano and Chacrinha, covering an area of 48,500 hectares, and the Rodrigo de Freitas, Jacarepagu, Camorim, Tijuca and Marapendi lakes and lagoons. For the symposium participants, the destination shall be the Rio de Janeiro International Airport, which is served by major airline carriers, with everyday flights from many cities in North America, Europe and Asia.
