This workshop is organized by the Special Research Area SFB F 013 "Numerical and Symbolic Scientific Computing" at the Johannes Kepler University, and the Johann Radon Institute for Computational and Applied Mathematics. The topics of the workshop are computational and theoretical aspects of level set methods and related techniques for geometric problems, and their applications to direct (geometric motion and moving boundary problems) and inverse problems (shape reconstruction and shape optimization).
