ENGL" Subject: Conf. on Inverse Problems in Wave Propagation and Diffraction Date: Mon, 15 Jan 1996 Conference on Inverse Problems in Wave Propagation and Diffraction Aix les Bains (France) September 23-27, 1996 SIAM and GAMM have been conducting a conference series on various application fields of inverse problems; the committee for this series is chaired by H.W.Engl (Linz) and W.Rundell (College Station, USA) and includes also A.Louis (Saarbr|cken) and D.Colton (Delaware). The first conferences were on Inverse Problems in Diffusion Processes (St.Wolfgang, June 1994) and on Inverse Problems in Geophysics (California, December 1995). Proceedings have been published (and will be published, respectively) by SIAM. After a conference on Inverse Problems in Medical Imaging and Nondestructive Testing in Oberwolfach (February 1996; not formally part of this series, but chaired by H.W.Engl, A.Louis, and W.Rundell, hence coordinated with the series), the next conference will be coorganized with INRIA and chaired by G. Chavent and P.C.Sabatier. According to their call for papers, it will focus on modeling, mathematical analysis, and the numerical solution of inverse problems in wave propagation and diffraction. The targeted audience is multidisciplinary. The organizers hope to incite successful exchanges between the specialists in applied fields and those whose academic background and interest are more centered on mathematics. The conference takes place in Aix les Bains in the French Alps between September 23 and 27, 1996. Abstracts should be submitted by March 1 to INRIA Rocquencourt M.-C.Sance Relations exterieurs Bureau des cours et colloques B.P. 105 F-78153 Le Chesnay Cedex France.
