McLaughlin" Subject: Applied Inverse Problems: Opening Conference for IPRPI Date: Thu, 18 Mar 2004 We are pleased to announce the opening of IPRPI, Inverse Problems center at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, with the conference Interdisciplinary Inverse Problems which takes place April 5-7,2004. We look forward to your future involvement with the center and invite you to participate in this event. Contributed papers (30 minute talks) and poster presentations are welcome. Some funding is available for postdocs and graduate students who make presentations. You can register at the conference site at http://www.iprpi.rpi.edu. Questions about the technical program can be directed to IPRPI Director, Joyce McLaughlin (mclauj@rpi.edu). All other inquiries go to Alice Baker (mclauj3@rpi.edu).

Objectives Techniques for solving inverse problems as well as their applications are currently rapidly developing in all the different domains of physical sciences and particularly in Heat Transfer. Applied mathematicians, statisticians and signal processing specialists generally develop these techniques. Experimentalists desiring to go beyond traditional data processing techniques for estimating the parameters of a model with the maximum accuracy feel often ill-prepared in front of inverse techniques. In order to avoid biases at different levels of this kind of involved task, it seems compulsory that specialists of measurement inversion techniques, modelling techniques and experimental techniques share a wide common culture and language. These exchanges are necessary to take into account the difficulties associated to all these fields. It is in this state of mind that this school is proposed. The METTI Group (Thermal Measurements and Inverse Techniques), which is a division of the Societe Francaise de Thermique (SFT: French Heat Transfer Society), has already run two similar schools, in the Alps (Aussois) in 1995 and in the Pyrenees (Bolqu=E8re-Odeillo) in 1999. For this third edition the school is open to participants from the European Community with the support of the Eurotherm Committee. Lectures Lectures will be given from 8:30 to 12:00 every morning from Monday to Friday on the following topics: - model reduction - parameter estimation - function estimation (fluxes, temperatures) - temperature and flux measurements (with or without contact) - optimal conception and control of experiments - signal processing Workshops Workshops will be held in the Aussois Centre between 17:00 and 20:00 from Monday to Thursday. They will include an experimental and/or a numerical part.
