The Identification, Design and Control problems dealing with unknown boundary and initial conditions, sizes and shapes of domains, physical properties of the media, governing systems of equations, and internal and boundary sources in the multidisciplinary fields involving thermodynamics, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, strength of materials, structural dynamics, electro-magnetics, and nuclear systems are all of interest and are welcome at this conference. Methods of interest include also efficient and robust numerical techniques (including optimization) that are being applied to cope with a wide variety of identifications problems. The behavior of numerical algorithms for the solution of these extremely conditioned problems and their critical evaluation by comparison with experiments or established benchmarks are highly desired. The conference is of importance to all scientists and engineers who are actively involved in developing innovative theoretical approaches as well as in solving practical industrial problems. The International Scientific Advisory Committee members anticipate that the conference will point out new directions in the identification of mathematical models, design of technical systems and control of dynamic processes. Conference Themes: The topics listed below should give only a general guideline for possible contributions. Papers on other topics connected with other types of inverse problems will also be considered if they fall within the objectives of the conference. Heat Conduction Thermal Radiation Diffusion-Convection Thermal Processes in Porous Media Thermal Processes in Composites Phase Change Processes Fire and Combustion Thermal Stability Vibrations and Structural Dynamics Acoustics Electromagnetics Materials Processing Elasticity, Thermoelasticity, and Elasto-Plasticity Tomography and Inverse Scattering Gas-Liquid Flows Mechanics of Solids Nuclear Transport Optimal Experiments Design Analysis of Experimental Data, Signal and Noise Processing.

These three 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. But, there are no optimization algorithms that employ methods of inverse design that could potentially substantially reduce the number of time-consuming analysis required by the typical evolutionary optimization algorithms. Similarly, design theory is not well known in 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 thus offers a unique international forum that is expected to provide an excellent basis for cross-fertilization of ideas and creation of new synergistic approaches and methodologies that will combine the three fields of research so that more general, robust, accurate and computationally economical design methods are created for multi-disciplinary applications. Organizers: G.S. Dulikravich (chair), H.R.B. Orlande (co-chair), M. Tanaka (co-chair), M.J. Colaco (secretary) Sponsors: AFOSR (United States Air Force Office of Scientific Research) ARO (United States Army Research Office) T&F (Taylor & Francis Publishers) FIU (Florida International University) UFRJ (Federal University of Rio de Janeiro) Areas of interest: The IPDO-2007 Symposium will emphasize a broad range of deterministic, statistical, analytical, computational and experimental approaches, which can be applied to the solution of inverse, design and multi-disciplinary optimization problems. Contributions dealing with theoretical concepts and practical applications are encouraged, such as in petrochemistry, aeronautics, astronautics, bio-medicine, transport and sensing of pollutants, materials design and processing, remote sensing, non-destructive evaluation, material property determination, acceleration of large scale optimization, design theory, etc. Deadlines: 20 November, 2006 deadline for submission of two-page abstracts in .pdf format 1 December, 2006 informing authors about acceptability of abstracts 31 January, 2007 deadline for submission of full eight-page papers 15 February, 2007 deadline for early registration Abstracts and papers: Please submit two-page abstracts (including preliminary results, basic figures, formulas, and references) in .pdf format to the following e-mail addresses: IPDO2007@GMAIL.COM, IPDO2007@YAHOO.COM All accepted abstracts will be in a Book of Abstracts provided to all participants during IPDO-2007.
