Date: Mon, 25 Sep 2006 CALL FOR PAPERS AND PARTICIPATION: Second Announcement First International Conference on Scale-Space and Variational Methods in Computer Vision. Ischia, Italy, May 30- June 2, 2007 This international conference is a joint edition of the 6th Scale Space and the 4th VLSM and it will be a first attempt to bring together two different communities with joint research interests, the one of scale space analysis and the one of variational, geometric and level set methods and their applications in image interpretation and understanding. Such a conference would serve several purposes: international researchers and students would be exposed to state-of-the-art research on mathematical, physical and computational aspects of imaging, computer vision, graphics and inverse problems with applications. Paper submission is open at the link: http://ssvm07.ciram.unibo.it/ssvm07_public/papersub.html Conference deadlines: Abstract submission: October 16th, 2006 Full paper submission: October 23rd, 2006 Notification of acceptance: January 15th, 2007 Final paper: February 15th, 2007 INVITED SPEAKERS Prof. Franco Brezzi University of Pavia, Italy Prof. Emmanuel Candes California Institute of Technology, USA Prof. Tomaso A.

Contact the SIAM Conference Department at _meetings@siam.org_ with any questions. ----------------------------- From: Bill Lionheart Subject: Postdoc and PhD positions Date: Fri, 22 Sep 2006 Helical cone beam x-ray tomography I am looking for two postdoctoral mathematicians and two PhD students to work on theoretical problems and reconstruction algorithms for helical cone-beam x-ray tomography for airport baggage screening and process tomography. Working in partnership with a company developing x-ray tomography systems we aim to understand issues of uniqueness and stability of solution, derive an optimal scanning strategy and develop fast, accurate reconstruction methods that can be implemented in advanced computational hardware. Official job advertisements will follow shortly, in the meantime please contact me informally.

One position is at the rank of Assistant Professor while the second position is open to candidates at the Assistant or Associate ranks. The successful applicant must complement existing faculty research. The areas of immediate interest are pure and applied analysis in any field, optimization, differential geometry, and inverse problems. Exceptional candidates in all areas of mathematics will, however, be considered and are encouraged to apply. Applicants should submit an AMS cover sheet, complete curriculum vitae, summary of future research plans, evidence of effective teaching, and at least three letters of recommendation using the service provided by the AMS at *http://www.mathjobs.org* . Applications postmarked by November 27, 2006 are guaranteed full consideration. Colorado State University is an EEO/AA employer (Equal Opportunity Office, 101 Student Services).
