For the symposium participants, the airport of entry in Brazil shall be the International Airport of Recife, which is served by major airline carriers, with everyday flights from cities in North America and Europe. The Symposium's main objectives are to bring the three communities of researchers (inverse problems, design theory and optimization experts) together in a unique international forum that provides an excellent basis for crossfertilization of ideas, as well as for the creation of new synergistic approaches and methodologies. Successful previous versions of the IPDO Symposium were held in Rio de Janeiro (2004) and in Miami Beach (2007). Multidisciplinary contributions dealing with conceptual ideas, theoretical formulations, and practical applications are encouraged, such as in nanotechnology, petrochemistry, aeronautics, astronautics, bio-medicine, transport and sensing of pollutants, materials processing, remote sensing, non-destructive evaluation, material properties determination, acceleration of optimization algorithms, energy conversion, etc. Authors should send a one-page abstract in pdf (Portable Document Format) to ipdo2010@gmail.com as an attachment to their e-mail message by February 15, 2010. Authors of accepted abstracts will be asked to submit full papers which will appear in an IPDO2010 proceedings. Innovative full papers will be also considered for further review and possible publication in the journal Inverse Problems in Science and Engineering. CHAIR: Zaqueu E.

The meeting will kick off with a day of tutorials and an evening welcome reception on July 24th. The main meeting of CNS*2010 will take place from Sunday July 25th-Wednesday July 28th, including a special Symposium, "Computational Neuroscience: What have we learned in 20 years and what do we still need to know?", on the afternoons of July 26th-27th. These events will be followed by two days of workshops on July 29-30th (Thursday-Friday). The main meeting will be held in the historic Sheraton Gunter Hotel in central San Antonio, one block from San Antonio's Famous River Walk. San Antonio is home to several universities including the University of Texas Health Science Center - San Antonio and the University of Texas San Antonio, which are both sponsoring CNS*2010. As is traditional, the CNS banquet will be an interesting and culturally themed event, hosted at Sundance Ranch on July 28th. Submissions can include experimental, model-based, as well as more abstract theoretical approaches to understanding neurobiological computation. We especially encourage research that mixes experimental and theoretical studies. We also accept papers that describe new technical approaches to theoretical and experimental issues in computational neuroscience or relevant software packages.
