The purpose of the meeting is for industrialists and academics to identify inverse problems of common interest. The pragmatics of solving industrial (real-world) inverse problems has been addressed in Inverse Problems 15 (1999) R1-R40. The Workshop/Sandpit will follow the format of presentations from industry by way of introducing the problems on the first day, followed by intensive work on the problems by groups (academic and industrial) during the next day. The workshop will be facilitated by the Industrial Mathematics Knowledge Transfer Network. As an outcome of this activity it is hoped that a rapport between academics and industrialists will be established and cemented through possible grant proposals for PhD Studentships / CASE Awards and Post-docs to be submitted to the EPSRC or to other foundations. Academic participation is open to all members of the inverse problems community or related subjects, including postgraduate students, for whom the proposed activity provides an excellent training in oriented research. Please note that there are no fees to be charged for participating at the workshop. So far, the provisional programme includes the following industrial talks: Andrew Fellerman (Nexia Solutions Limited) - "Modelling challenges facing the nuclear industry" Brian Cattle (Nexia Solutions Limited) - "Tomographic techniques in the nuclear industry" Edward Bullard (Dexela Limited) - "Iterative methods for 3D reconstruction of digital breast tomosynthesis images" David Gelder (Pilkington Glass) - "Parameter estimation in reaction diffusion problems involving ionic species with limited data" Manuchehr Soleimani (Wlliam Lee Innovation Centre) - "State of the art EIT/ECT/MIT imaging algorithms, future directions and challenges" Any suggestions for further industrial speakers on the subject are welcome. To register for the workshop, academics and industrialists are invited to send their contact details to: Dr. Daniel Lesnic Department of Applied Mathematics, University of Leeds, Leeds LS2 9JT, UK. e-mail: amt5ld@amsta.leeds.ac.uk, tel: +44-(0)113-3435181, fax: +44-(0)113-3435090 ----------------------------- From: "Neil T.

Some of you at that time used fax for connection with Organizing Committee. To check and improve situation we have decided to extend the deadline for abstracts till February 15, 2007. Please find enclosed the "last" Call for Papers. If you have sent an abstract at January and have not received any answer, please repeat the submitting. We would very much appreciate your participation in this conference. The scientific quality of this meeting will benefit greatly from the participation of professionals, like yourself having outstanding achievements in your field of expertise. Also we would like to remind, that until present time only international conferences in Russia provide opportunity to meet a wide range of Russian scientists and engineers. Also this river cruise will provide great opportunity to look at provincial Russia as well as post- and pre- conference tours at Moscow. We have add some photos of the boat to the Conference Web Page: http://www.cosmos.com.ru/5icip/ We believe sincerely that contribution will greatly enhance the scientific level of the Conference and therefore look forward to hearing from you.
