A consensus based on inputs provided by several world-wide prominent colleagues is that the time for the creation of such a society has now arrived. Thus, we are creating an international society of professionals working on the multidisciplinary aspects of inverse problems. Several national inverse problems societies have already been created, and one international association was recently formed specifically to serve the mathematical inverse problems community. The objective of this new society is to be truly multidisciplinary and international. The proposed society should bring together researchers and practitioners working on all aspects of inverse problems in diverse areas, such as engineering, physics, chemistry, medicine, mathematics, geology, meteorology, nanotechnology, finance, and emerging fields. One major benefit for the members of this proposed society would be an electronic subscription to the journal Inverse Problems in Science and Engineering, which shall be included in an annual membership fee of approximately fifty US Dollars. We are currently negotiating this benefit with Taylor & Francis Publishers. In addition, a regular quarterly electronic newsletter shall be available to all members informing them of all pertinent scientific events, funding opportunities, new research trends, jobs, scholarships, etc. The proposed international society would serve as an overall forum that will institute an international conference to be held periodically moving its location to different continents. This new international society would not interfere with the existing or possible future national, regional and disciplinary societies. All existing and possible new conferences, symposia, workshops and sessions on any aspects of the inverse problems could thus continue to be held without interruption. If you are already a member of any national, regional or international societies dealing with inverse problems, this should not preclude you from becoming a member of this new society. This proposed international society will be legally registered as a nonprofit organization. Bylaws of this society will be similar to the bylaws of several recognized professional societies. You are invited to become a member of this new international society by registering (initially free of charge) on this website: http://www.ipsesociety.org/ All discussions and voting will be performed via internet in the most democratic manner by anyone who joins the new multidisciplinary society. This internet based voting will include the name of the society, details of its proposed bylaws, and elections of the new society's initial leadership. If you have received this message more than one time or if you want your name to be taken off this mailing list, please send your e-mail message to membership@ipsesociety.org. George S. Dulikravich, Helcio R. B. Orlande, Marcelo J.

The aim of the workshop is to discuss recent developments in optimization and inverse methodologies and their applications to the design and operation of electromagnetic devices. It is intended to establish with the workshop an occasion where experts in electromagnetics and other areas (e.g. engineering, mathematics, physics, etc.), involved in research or industrial activities, can discuss on the theoretical aspects and on the technical relevance of optimization and inverse problems, in the general framework of the innovation in electromagnetic methods and applications. Thus, the workshop will offer a platform for the exchange of information and experience of developments, trends and applications from both industrial and theoretical view points. Previous editions were held in Pavia/Italy (1989), Warsaw/Poland (1992), Geneva/Switzerland (1994), Brno/Czech Republic (1996), Jyvaskyla/Finland (1998), Torino/Italy (2000), Lodz/Poland (2002), Grenoble/France (2004) and Sorrento/Italy (2006). You can find the Conference website at: http://www.OIPE2008.org/ Following up the great number of requests received from many potential authors, and taking into account that this year Easter holiday was vey early, the OIPE 2008 Conference Organizing Committee decided to extend the deadline for submission of digests to April 15th, 2008. Please submit your two-page-digests as soon as possible since late submission cannot be accepted due to the very tight reviewing schedule. You will find on the Workshop website http://www.OIPE2008.org/ .the Call-for-Papers as well as a template for preparing the digests. Please register first at this website. We remind you that first this registration will enable you to access to the conference management system for uploading your digest. Please notice that only online submission is possible. Please visit the workshop website (www.OIPE2008.org ) from time to time and check for updates. Whereas the digests will be published in the workshop proceedings available at the workshop, a selected number of papers will be published (after a peer reviewing procedure) in: * The International Journal for Computation and Mathematics in Electrical and Electronic Engineering (COMPEL), (in issue 5, 2009) * International Journal of Applied Electromagnetics and Mechanics (IJAEM), (in 2009) * International Journal of Bioelectromagnetism (IJBEM), (online) We strongly encourage you to submit papers to the OIPE 2008 Workshop.

This variety of applications has led to a high degree of specialisation within each niche, possibly preventing innovations to be sufficiently disseminated. This workshop aims to provide a platform for interdisciplinary exchange of ideas and techniques developed by different communities leading to the unveiling of new directions in the field and hopefully triggering future collaborations. Our intended audience is wide, however we intend to keep a slight bias towards mathematical yet practical aspects of imaging, gathering specialists in inverse problems, numerical analysis as well as practitioners to discuss topics such as sufficiency of data, stability of reconstructions, x-ray scattering correction and inversion, algebraic reconstruction methods, and image post-processing to name a few. The list of confirmed speakers includes: Simon Arridge (London, UK) Rolf Clackdoyle (Saint-Etienne, France) Bernd Fischer (Luebeck, Germany) Per Christian Hansen (Lyngby, Denmark) Ivana Jovanovic (Lausanne, Switzerland) Frank Natterer (Muenster, Germany) Sarah Patch (Wisconsin, USA) Vladimir Sharafutdinov (Novosibirsk, Russia) Robert Speller (London, UK) Jared Tanner (Edinburgh, UK) Further information is available online at http://www.mims.manchester.ac.uk/events/workshops/TIR08/ If you are interested in participating in the workshop please send an email to wagner.muniz@manchester.ac.uk Please note that the number of participants is limited.
