You are cordially invited to propose contributions to IP:MS 2008. The abstract submission should be sent to the following e-mail addresses: erdem.arzu@gmail.com , aerdem@kou.edu.tr. Abstracts will be published before the conference, and all participants will obtain copies during the Conference. The Conference web site http://ipms-conference.org of the conference features other details and will be continually updated. The International Conferences "Inverse Problems: Modeling and Simulation" are organizing in a two-year cycle at the end of May, in the historic city of Oludeniz - Fethiye, on the Mediterranean Sea, in Turkey. The main aims of these conference is to promote unity through diversity and to encourage worldwide interest in the theory and applications of inverse problems. Our forum is going to bring together leading scientists from many different countries and many speciality applications. All these conferences are organizing under the auspices of the leading international journals "Inverse Problems", "Inverse Problems in Science and Engineering" and "Inverse and Ill-Posed Problems". The organizers of the Conference, in particular the Oludeniz Municipality, are putting together an excellent social program consisting of tours to historic places and boat rides. We look forward to welcoming you in Oludeniz-Fethiye, Turkey next year. With our best wishes, On behalf of the International Program/Organizing committees H. T. Banks, A.Hasanov (Hasanoglu), S. Kabanikhin, F. Kappel. ----------------------------- From: Kristen Wilden Date: 9/5/2007 Subject: SIAM Conference on Imaging Science (IS08) - CFP Posting Subject: SIAM Conference on Imaging Science (IS08) - CFP Deadlines Conference Name: SIAM Conference on Imaging Science (IS08), being held jointly with the 2008 SIAM Annual Meeting Location: Town & Country Resort and Convention Center, San Diego, California Dates: July 7-9, 2008 Invited Plenary Speakers: Joint Plenary Speaker Jean-Michel Morel, ENS Cachan, France Invited Topical Speakers John Etgen, BP America Jeffrey Fessler, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor Mila Nikolova, Centre de Mathématiques et de Leurs Applications, France Lenny Rudin, Cognitech Inc.

Best regards, António Pacheco (President of CEMAT) ----------------------------- From: Michael Klibanov Date: 8/2/2007 Subject: A special volume of APPLICABLE ANALYSIS for Inverse Problems Dear Colleagues: Applicable Analysis wishes to become a leading journal in the area of Inverse Problems. As a first step in this direction, the Editorial Board has decided to organize a special volume of the journal dedicated solely to Inverse Problems. Contributions are invited in both theoretical and numerical topics of the inverse problems. We expect to publish only papers of high mathematical quality that contain new results. Survey papers and purely "engineering" papers are not desirable. In the case when the number of accepted contributions will exceed the required size of a single issue, they will be combined to make a multi issue volume. The Guest Editors for this volume are R. Gilbert, V. Isakov, M.V. Klibanov and M. Yamamoto. To ensure the high quality of papers, all submission will go through a usual referee process. In order to give the contributors ample time to organize their paper we have set the submission deadline March 1, 2008. Please let us know as soon as possible whether you intend to submit a paper so we can plan how many issues this will entail. Doing so will permit us to set up in advance a user number for you and a password for the journal website. This will facilitate submission of the paper. Papers should be submitted on line at the ScholarOne site. http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com When logging on to the website authors should indicate on their submission that the paper is meant to appear in the Inverse Problem volume. There is a place to indicate this. It would be helpful if the same time you could send an email indicating you have submitted to the Inverse Problems issue to the journal editor, Robert Gilbert at gilbert@math.udel.edu .
