Please find more details about IPIA at the URL: http://www.inverse-problems.net/ We invite all scientists working on inverse problems, broadly interpreted, to join the association by registering at the page http://www.inverse-problems.net/register.php The first International Congress of IPIA will be AIP 2007 to be held in Vancouver, Canada, June 25-29, 2007. There will also be a general meeting of IPIA during the meeting. Sincerely, Gunther Uhlmann for the Executive Committee of IPIA. ----------------------------- From: Int. Conf. on Inverse Problems in Engineering 2008 Subject: First announcement, 6th Int. Conf. on Inverse Problems in Engineering Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2007 Dear Colleague, We are pleased to announce the forthcoming 6th International Conference on Inverse Problems in Engineering: Theory and Practice (ICIPE 2008), to be held in Dourdan (Paris), France on June 15-19, 2008. This Symposium is the sixth of the International Conference on Inverse Problems in Engineering: Theory and Practice (ICIPE) series, initiated in Palm Coast (USA) in 1993. Noteworthy features of all ICIPE meetings are their balanced focus on theory and applications (and, better yet, the combination of both) and a residential setting in an informal atmosphere aimed at maximizing opportunities for interactions between participants. The previous ICIPE was held in Cambridge (UK) in July 2005. Please visit the Conference website http://www.icipe2008.ciril.fr for details. The deadline for abstract submission is October 15, 2007. We look forward to welcoming you in Dourdan next year. With our best wishes, The ICIPE 2008 organizing committee: Denis Maillet (chairman), StÃ��©phane Andre, Marc Bonnet, Andrei Constantinescu, Abdellatif El Badia, Yvon Jarny. ----------------------------- From: "Doina Bein" Subject: Mini-track on Algorithmic Challenges in Emerging Applications of Computing Date: Sun, 6 May 2007 Call for Papers: Mini-track on Algorithmic Challenges in Emerging Applications of Computing Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS-41) January 7-10, 2008 Hilton Waikoloa Village on the Big Island, http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu/hicss_41/fstcfp41.htm Deadline: June 15, 2007, via the conference website, http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu/hicss_41/apahome41.html (Proceedings IEEE Computer Society) Track Theme: Algorithmic challenges arise in many emerging areas of computing. Security, bioinformatics, quantum computing, power management and algorithmic game theory are examples of such areas. For instance, in the area of algorithmic game theory, economic agents are in varying degrees of collaboration and competition, and questions about equilibria arise. The study of combinatorial auctions gives insight into- complex interactions of such agents on the Internet. In the area of power management for mobile devices like PDAs, sensors, cell phones and laptops, improvements in battery technology lag behind the dramatic improvement in hardware. Online algorithms allow power management schemes to schedule resources without full knowledge of future demands. In information security, investigations into efficient algorithms for secure dissemination of information, cyberforensics, and prevention of cybercrime are in great demand. This mini-track explores algorithmic challenges in these and other realms involving online and randomized algorithms, scheduling theory, approximation algorithms, optimization, and algorithmic complexity.
