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.

From: Chrysoula Tsogka Date: Mon, 8 Feb 2010 PHD and postodoctoral positions available at IACM/FORTH. PHD and postodoctoral positions are available for the research project ADAPTIVES. ADAPTIVES has been approved for funding by the European Research Council, through a Starting Independent Research Grand awarded to Chrysoula Tsogka Associate Professor at the Dept. of Applied Mathematics, University of Crete and researcher at IACM/FORTH. Duration of project: 5 years. Short summary of the project: Waves are been used for the detection and imaging of objects for many years. We all know the radar, which uses electromagnetic waves, the sonar that is based on acoustic waves, and medical ultrasound. In most of these applications the materials encountered in practice are often complex and their properties are not known - and cannot be estimated - in every detail. We, therefore, model the propagation medium as a random process for which we know some statistical properties. Our goal is to solve the imaging problem in a regime where multipathing due to the heterogeneities is important. The challenge is to produce reliable, i.e., statistically stable, results, especially when there is no a priori knowledge about the propagation medium. The research to be carried out in the project ADAPTIVES needs young researchers to get involved. Requirements are background in and/or an interest in scientific computing, numerical solution of differential equations (in particular wave propagation) and inverse problems. The candidates will be funded by the European Research Council. Applications should comprise of a letter of motivation, a CV plus the names and contact information of two individuals who have agreed to send letters of recommendation. The positions are located at the Institute of Applied and Computational Mathematics (IACM) at FORTH, Heraklion, Crete, Greece (http://www.iacm.forth.gr/). Contact: C.
