This is an NSF/CBMS Conference in Mathematical Sciences. The conference format is in the standard NSF/CBMS style. It consists of ten lectures given by George Papanicolaou, from Stanford university and extensive discussion sessions led by senior scientists with a broad view of the imaging science and wave propagation in random media. The goal of the conference is to introduce a mathematically oriented audience to sensor array imaging in randomly fluctuating media. The lectures will provide a mathematically sound and self-contained introduction to this emerging field in applied mathematics, with roots in wave propagation, random media, optimization, numerical analysis and statistics. The conference is intended to engage a diverse group of researchers from the academia and industry in this new area of research and to develop a broad and confident perspective of what is known and what is worth investigating.

When it is possible to determine governing equation(s), shape(s) and size(s) of the domain(s), boundary and initial conditions, material properties of the media contained in the field, and internal sources and external forces or inputs, then the analysis determining the unknown field is considered mathematically well-posed and solvable. If any of these elements is unknown or unavailable, then the field problem becomes incompletely defined (ill-posed) and is of an indirect (or inverse) type. The inverse problems can therefore be classified as the determination of unknown shapes, boundary/initial values, sources and forces, material properties, or governing equation(s). If sufficient amount and type of additional information is provided, the inverse problems can become sufficiently specified so that with the use of appropriate algorithms, they can be solved. The algorithmic methods for the solution of inverse problems could be grouped into two basic approaches: pure inverse methods and optimization-based methods. That is, in some methods, sophisticated regularization formulations are used. In other methods, different optimization algorithms are used as tools to solve de facto inverse problems. ASME’s CIE division under the auspices of the Computational Technologies for Engineering Science Applications (CTESA) technical committee, is organizing this year a special topic area that is designed to bring together researchers on Inverse Methods in Science and Engineering and their applications from leading international and interdisciplinary research communities. The conference serves as a forum to present the results of the latest research and product/tool developments, and to highlight related activities from around the world. For more information and abstract submission please visit http://www.asmeconferences.org/IDETC08/ Topics for the papers to be submitted for presentation at this meeting include, but are not restricted to: Shape design: determination of shapes, sizes and locations of (multiply connected) domains (shape identification in acoustics, aerodynamics, electromagnetics, elasticity, etc; detection of voids and cracks). Material properties and constitutive responses: determination of physical properties of media. Boundary values/initial values: identification of the proper boundary conditions and/or initial conditions (tomographic problems involving X-rays, ultrasonics, optics, thermal sources etc; determination of thermal, stress/strain, electromagnetic, fluid flow, etc. boundary conditions on inaccessible boundaries; determination of initial chemical composition, etc.). Forces and sources: determination of the unknown external forces or inputs acting on a domain (structural dynamic modification and reconstruction) and internal concentrated and distributed sources/sinks (sources of heat, noise, electromagnetic radiation, etc.). Governing equations: inference of analytic forms of partial and/or integral equations governing the variation of measured field quantities; parameter identification methods. Papers will be judged based on their scientific quality of innovation and rigor, as well as their application value. Quality papers will be referred to the ASME Journal of Computing and Information Science In Engineering. For more information contact the topic area organizers: George S.

Part 1: exact, zero error localization Abstract: This paper deals with the EEG/MEG neuroimaging problem: given measurements of scalp electric potential differences (EEG: electroencephalogram) and extracranial magnetic fields (MEG: magnetoencephalogram), find the 3D distribution of the generating electric neuronal activity. This problem has no unique solution. Only particular solutions with "good" localization properties are of interest, since neuroimaging is concerned with the localization of brain function. In this paper, a general family of linear imaging methods with exact, zero error localization to point-test sources is presented. One particular member of this family is sLORETA. It is shown here that sLORETA has no localization bias in the presence of measurement and biological noise. Another member of this family, denoted as eLORETA (exact low resolution brain electromagnetic tomography), is a genuine inverse solution (not merely a linear imaging method) with exact, zero error localization in the presence of measurement and structured biological noise. The general family of imaging methods is further extended to include data-dependent (adaptive) quasi-linear imaging methods, also with the exact, zero error localization property. ----------------------------- Subject: Special Issue on "Inverse Problems in Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing".
