A new IPNet server is now in place and all the usual functions of the IPNet have been restored. At the usual website (see above), one can again subscribe to the IPNet, make subscription changes or deletions, and read archived issues of the IPNet Digest. Unfortunately several of the conference announcements and job postings submitted to the IPNet in the last few months had deadlines which have already passed. Despite this fact, we are including such news items below in hopes that the information will still be of use to some. You may also want to contact the appropriate contact person to see if passed deadlines have some flexibility to them. Best wishes for the new year, the 16th year of the IPNet and one in in which the Digest should appear more regularly. -Patricia (Patti) Lamm ----------------------------- Subject: Inverse Problems Symposium 2009 From: jamesverebeck@comcast.net Date: Fri, 12 Dec 2008 Inverse Problems Symposium (This will be the 22nd in a series of conferences that have been held at MSU and in the world including England, Brazil and France.)

The GREAT08 Challenge is an image analysis competition for gravitational lensing and cosmology, aimed at experts in statistical problems (non-astronomers). The competition runs until 30 April 2009. Please find more information at the challenge website http://www.great08challenge.info and in the challenge handbook http://arxiv.org/abs/0802.1214 (accepted in the Annals of Applied Statistics), the abstract of which is copied below. -Sarah Bridle, on behalf of the GREAT08 Team The GRavitational lEnsing Accuracy Testing 2008 (GREAT08) Challenge focuses on a problem that is of crucial importance for future observations in cosmology. The shapes of distant galaxies can be used to determine the properties of dark energy and the nature of gravity, because light from those galaxies is bent by gravity from the intervening dark matter. The observed galaxy images appear distorted, although only slightly, and their shapes must be precisely disentangled from the effects of pixelisation, convolution and noise. The worldwide gravitational lensing community has made significant progress in techniques to measure these distortions via the Shear TEsting Program (STEP). Via STEP, we have run challenges within our own community, and come to recognise that this particular image analysis problem is ideally matched to experts in statistical inference, inverse problems and computational learning. Thus, in order to continue the progress seen in recent years, we are seeking an infusion of new ideas from these communities.

You can ask questions and exchange opinions on all range of topics, covering full spectre of available specialists in the area. This also allows you to polish your ideas, before presenting it to target audience. best regards, Khazret Sapenov Here is the group's description: Conversation is encouraged and expected. However, moderation of comments is necessary to prevent spam, personal attacks, profanity and off-topic commentary. To join the group and be able to post messages, write to join. inverse.problems@gmail.com ----------------------------- Subject: Multidisciplinary Int'l Soc. for Inverse Problems in Science and Engineering From: IPSES Date: Fri, 25 Jul 2008 Second Invitation to Join a Multidisciplinary International Society for Inverse Problems in Science and Engineering Dear Colleagues: If you have an interest in the general field of inverse problems and have not already joined this professional society, please join now by registering your membership on this website: http://www.IPSESociety.org This is the second and last general invitation to register as a member of this professional society because only registered members will be able to vote on the final name of the society, its bylaws, officers, annual membership dues/subscription to our journal, meetings, etc. You can register at any time, but this voting will start on July 28, 2008 and it will be available to registered members only until August 5, 2008.` The idea of creating an international society in the general field of inverse problems is at least a decade old. A consensus based on inputs provided by several prominent colleagues is that the time for the creation of such a society has arrived. Thus, we have created 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. This society should bring together researchers and practitioners working on all aspects of inverse problems in diverse areas, such as engineering, physics, chemistry, medicine, biology, mathematics, geology, meteorology, nanotechnology, finance, and emerging fields. One major benefit for the members of this society will be an electronic subscription to the journal Inverse Problems in Science and Engineering (IPSE). The annual subscription will be fully covered by an annual membership fee of approximately fifty US dollars. In addition, a regular quarterly electronic newsletter will be available to all members informing them of all pertinent scientific events, funding opportunities, new research trends, jobs, scholarships, etc. This multidisciplinary international society serves as an overall forum that will institute an international conference to be held periodically moving its location to different continents. This international society will not interfere with the existing or possible future national, regional and disciplinary societies. All existing and possible new conferences, symposia and workshops 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 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. All discussions and voting will be performed via internet in the most democratic manner by anyone who joins this multidisciplinary society. This internet based voting will include the name of the society, details of its proposed bylaws, and nominations and elections of the society's initial leadership. The voting on these issues will be conducted this July. 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.

Topic: Scattering-type scanning near-field mm-wave microscope Millimeter- waves (30GHz – 300GHz) provide unique opportunities for the development of novel applications in active near-field imaging of microscopic objects: there are plenty of situations where microscopic objects cannot be visualized with the more classic intervals (visible, UV, Infra Red), when they are covered with a material that is non penetrable in these intervals, while it is transparent to mm-waves. The Electromagnetics (EM) Group of the Department of Information Technology at Ghent University, Belgium, is involved in a research project which aims at developing a near-field mm-wave microscope attaining super resolution. This project comprises the design and modeling of advanced micro-probes, research into original modulation techniques and the development of inverse scattering imaging techniques. The EM Group is responsible for developing the numerical electromagnetic models and image reconstruction techniques, topics in which the Group has an internationally recognized expertise, in close interaction with the hardware development research partner. In this framework a fully paid 4 year Ph.D. position is being offered. Candidates should have a background in applied physics or electrical engineering, be interested in computational electromagnetics and imaging and demonstrate or develop programming skills.
